形容词用作状语的三种类型
类型一:说明性状语
形容词的主要功能是用作定语和表语,但有时也可用作状语(有人也称之为主语补足语,因为它们是补充说明主语的)。如:
He lay in bed, awake. 他躺在床上,没有睡着。(表伴随)
He arrived home, hungry and tired. 他回到家里,又饿又累。(表结果)
Unable to afford the time, I had to give up the plan. 由于抽不出时间,我不得不放弃这个计划。(表原因)
形容词用作状语的特点是,该形容词的逻辑主语就是句子主语,并且通常可以用并列句或主从复合句来改写。如以上各句可改写为:
He lay in bed and he was awake.
He arrived home and he was hungry and tired.
Because I was unable to afford the time, I had to give up the plan.
