原句：Relieved it was not anything dangerous or valuable, Jack gave Linda the pineapple.

译文：见不是什么危险或贵重物品，杰克把菠萝给了琳达。

请问老师，1）“relieved it was not anything dangerous or valuable”是过去分词作时间状语，relieved 之后省略了that，是吗？完整的过去分词作状语应当是“relieved that it was not anything dangerous or valuable”？that 为何可以省略呢？

【答】relieved是形容词性质的过去分词，在实际应用中，它已经成为形容词了。

sb. + be + adj. + that... ， 结构在英语中十分常见，that 可以省略，这类形容词一般表示人的情绪变化的词语，that从句的内容往往是情绪变化的原因。例如：

I am happy/glad/pleased/delighted/disapppointed/sorry/sad that...

2）原句状语可等于 “When he was relieved it was not anything dangerous or valuable” , 正确吗？

【答】根据它和句子的关系，把这个形容词分词短语改为“时间状语从句”或“原因状语从句”，都可以。

When he was relieved it was not anything dangerous or valuable ...

Because he was relieved it was not anything dangerous or valuable ...

3）relieve 是“使减轻痛苦或焦虑”，为何可以译为“见到”？

【答】relieve 有以下几个意思，基本相同：

使...减轻痛苦或焦虑

使宽慰；使放心

减轻(痛苦、忧虑等)

解除(痛苦、忧虑等)

使得到解脱

使(身心)恢复健康

sb. is relieved：“人”作主语，用了被动语态，意思基本都差不多，就是：

某人很宽慰

某人很欣慰

某人很放心

某人很安心

某人很放松

某人松了一口气

某人心神安定

原句漏掉了relieved 的意思，现在加上，应译为：

“见不是什么危险或贵重物品杰克放心了，就把菠萝给了琳达。”

4）原句有无being的区别在于区别前半句与后半句相比是同等重要还是略次之，对吗？

若原句含有现在分词短语作状语，则可转化为含有主次之分的两部分，如：

Being relieved (that) it was not anything dangerous or valuable, Jack gave Linda the pineapple.

等同于= When he was relieved （that）it was not anything dangerous or valuable，Jack gave Linda the pineapple.

【答】形容词性的过去分词短语作状语时，一般都是表示状态的，这时，being 要不要都可以，意思保持不变。以你的句子为例：

1. Relieved (that) it was not anything dangerous or valuable, Jack gave Linda the pineapple. =

2. Being relieved (that) it was not anything dangerous or valuable, Jack gave Linda the pineapple. =

转化为状语从句：

3. When he was relieved （that）it was not anything dangerous or valuable，Jack gave Linda the pineapple.

4. Because he was relieved （that）it was not anything dangerous or valuable，Jack gave Linda the pineapple.
