在“主系表 + 现在分词”结构下现在分词作何成分？有网友问：下面的句子摘自人教版九年级英语第 51 页：When I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my side.句中的 when I was a tiny baby 是时间状语从句，后面的现在分词短语 crying all night 是什么成分？ When I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from danger.When I was two 也时间状语从句，但后面的现在分词短语 running through the field 作什么成分呢？这不可能是定语吧？这个问题提得好！这是一个貌似简单、实为复杂的问题。从语言研究的角度看，我觉得很有讨论的必要。When I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my side.从这个句子结构上判断，crying all night 有可能出现 3 种不同的成分划分。1. 作定语，修饰 baby。2. 作状语，修饰系表结构。（注：谓语部分是系表结构时，分词修饰整个系表结构；谓语是行为动词时，分词修饰谓语动词。）3. 作主语补语，修饰 I。划分句子成分，仁者见仁，智者见智。我认为，如果从句子结构上无法判断某个成分的时候，就要从句子意思上来判断。我把 crying 放在 3 个不同语境中，看看分别作什么成分。1. A baby crying in its crib doesn’t want conversation or a gold ring. He wants to be held and patted. 一个在育婴床里哭的婴儿不是想要说话或要一枚金戒指，他想被人抱着或拍着。（定语）2. The baby didn't sleep (或者 was sleepless) crying all night. 这个婴儿没有睡觉，哭了一晚上。（伴随或方式状语）3. The baby was heard crying all night. 有人听见这个婴儿哭了一晚上。（主语补语）最后，关于 When I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my side. 这个句子，我认为 crying all night 作定语，修饰 baby。下面的句子恐怕更有争论，还是留给大家分析吧。When I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from danger.【个人观点】在“主·系·表 + 现在分词”结构下，现在分词作什么成分？ 以此为题，是针对网友的疑问和例句。因为在不同的句子结构中，现...
