Most of the Dominion populace accept Mengsk's rule, 【believing】 him to be the only leader capable of protecting them from the alien threats in the Koprulu sector.
【注意】分词作状语,跟谓语动词有关,它表达的意义与谓语动词紧密相连。因此,判断一个分词的语法作用,主要看它跟谓语动词所表动作的关系。据此,本句中的believing 应是accept的原因,所以,把分词believing 短语视为原因状语最好。
【特别提示】非谓语形式在句中作何种状语,主要从表意功能判断,切记。所谓表意功能,就是看它跟谓语是什么关系!
▲现在,我们以该句为例,重点分析现在分词和谓语动词之间的逻辑关系:
A. believing him to be the only leader :认为他是唯一的领导人
B. accept Mengsk's rule:接受Mengsk的统治
从逻辑关系看,“正是因为他是唯一的领导人,才愿意接受他的统治。”
believe属于“认知”意义的意识类动词,还有know, find, see, realize等,可以使用现在分词表示原因。这是因为:“思想”决定“行动”,思想在先行动在后,这是客观规律。

(believing ....现在分词做结果状语,表示一种意料之中的结果)
(1) 现在分词做结果状语,是一种一种意料之中的必然的自然的结果,如果强调可以在前面加thus,
The man died, thus leaving his wife and his three children.
(2) 不定式作结果状语,表示一种意料之外的非自然的结果,如果表示强调,可以加only
