核心问题
I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me. (New Concept English, Book 2, L. 68)
如何分析 come running 的语法关系?
词典解答
可以把现在分词 running 看成是副词,作动词 come 的方式状语。从语义上看,现在分词可表示“来”的方式。
-
Gerhardt came running in from the yard. (Dreiser) 格哈特从院子里跑了进来。
-
The sunshine came streaming through the windows. (LDCE) 阳光从窗户流了进来。
在其他情况下, come running 中的 running 也有可能是目的状语, 见 come (come dancing)。
