Something in his leisurely movements and the secure position of his feet upon the lawn suggested that it was Mr. Gatsby himself, come out to determine what share was his of our local heavens.
请问各位老师,这里的come为什么用了动词原形而不用现在分词?
it was Mr. Gatsby himself, come out to determine what share was his of our local heavens.
come在此不是动词原型,而是过去分词短语作非限制性定语,表示主语的状态——动作已完成的状态。我们知道不及物动词的过去分词通常不能用作非谓语动词,但有少数不及物动词例外,如gone, come, fallen, retired等。这些少数的不及物动词的过去分词可以做表语、定语等。此时,过去分词只表示完成意义,没有被动意义。例如:
Tom is gone. 表语
a fallen leaf 前置定语
a retired worder 前置定语
This is a dream come true. 后置定语
这种不及物动词的过去分词作非谓语成分,我们自己要慎用。除非你自己见过类似用法,可以模仿使用,但不能自己创造。
