形容词作作原因状语时其前需不需要加being呢

老师,您好!


adj作原因状语的时候,adj前究竟需不需要加Being呢?

例如:


Ill, I didn't go to school 还是 Being ill, I didn't go to school ?

Ill, I didn't go to school. (误)

Being ill, I didn't go to school. (正)

刘老师认为,being+形容词作原因状语时,being不能省略。

但我在语法书中并未见过明确提出这样的规则。我觉得being不省略的原因更多的是节奏问题。句首的状语是需要读升调的,一个很短的形容词在句首,尤其是单音节形容词,没有being时影响句子的节奏。而原因状语通常在句首,给人以being+形容词作原因状语时,不宜省略being的错觉。但如果形容词带有后置修饰语构成形容词短语,不用being则是很常见的。例如下面COCA例句:都是形容词短语作原因状语,没有being.

Unable to post his bail, Curry was sent to jail and waited there for months.

Afraid of lions by moonlight and raptors by day, animals will behave in dramatic ways.
