present participle ⁶ (现在分词)

伴随情况状语的特点是:它所表达的动作或状态是伴随着句子谓语动词的动作而发生或存在的。上句中的 blocking 所表达的动作并不“伴随着”句子谓语的动作,而是后者所造成的结果。因此,应把它看作是结果状语(参见 participle $^{3}$ )。下面是类似的实例:

1. A lot of good land has gone with them, leaving only sand. (JEFC,3,新版 p.52) 许多好地和森林都消失了，留下来的只是沙漠。

2. The child fell, striking his head against the door and cutting it. 那孩子跌倒了，头碰在门上碰破了。

3. Her husband died ten years ago, leaving her with three children. 她丈夫十年前去世了，撇下她和三个孩子。

4. Then foreign settlers started to arrive, bringing with them new diseases which killed many Kooris and seizing the land on which the Kooris had lived for thousands of years. 接着，外国殖民者开始来到这里，带来了新的疾病，这种疾病夺去了许多古利人的生命。殖民者还掠夺了古利人生活了几千年的土地。

5. For where there are trees their roots break the soil up—allowing the rain to sink in—and also bind the soil, thus preventing its being washed away easily. 因为在有树木的地方，树根穿破了泥土（让雨水渗进土里），树根又把泥土凝集起来，从而使土不容易被雨水冲走。
