3 关于用不用 being 的疑惑

老师,您好!

(A) have a gift for = be gifted in/at

gifted adj. 有天赋的

He has a gift for music and he promises to be a musician

=  Gifted in music, he promises to be a musician.

我的疑问是,可否在gifted前加上Being,而句意不变 ?

即 Being gifted in music, he promises to be a musician.

   

类似的另外2道题目:

(B)________(devote) to her work, she has no time to travel.

答案是:Devoted

我的疑问是,可否在devoted前加上Being,而句意不变 ?

即 Being devoted to her work, she has no time to travel.


(C) We went out, ________ (head) for the bus stop.

由于be headed for(美式)= head for (英式)。

按照美式习惯来做该题,答案是: headed

我的疑问是,可否在headed前加上Being,而句意不变?

即 We went out, being headed for the bus stop. 


* 问题的焦点是:此类题是必须加Being,还是不能加Being,抑或是可加可不加Being(即可省略),多年来我一直搞不清,非常困惑。 麻烦老师能具体分析讲解以上3题(A), (B), (C),给出详细的理由,以及此类题目关于加不加 Being 的规律,谢谢!


谢谢!

(A)  Gifted in music, he promises to be a musician.

(B)  Devoted to her work, she has no time to travel.

以上二句中的gifted和devoted均为终结性动词的过去分词演变来的形容词,表示动作结束后的新的状态,本身就可以作状语,表示主语在做谓语动作时的状态。如果前面加上being,则易被误解为现在分词被动语态,表示正在发生的被动动作。故这种ed结尾的终结性动词过去分词演变来的形容词作状语,通常不用系词be的现在分词being. 这就是为什么参考答案都是ed形式。

 

(C) We went out, headed for the bus stop.

be headed for这种用法中的headed仍然是过去分词演变来的形容词,作谓语时形式为we are headed for...,此时为系表结构,headed隐含被动意义,但没有完成意义。head作为动词表示朝某个方向移动或运动时,为非终结性延续动词,此类动词的过去分词不表示动作的结束,只表示被动意义。因此作状语时没有必要使用系词be的现在分词being, 用being有画蛇添足之嫌。

1, 如果只有语法书上的内容才算”详细理由的话”。可能不太好找,不知道以后会不会加上。2,查一下美国语料库。being devoted: Devoted为0:27,being gifted:gifted为0:2。
