1. Going eastward, you’ll pass mountains and thousands of lakes and forests, as well as wide rivers and large cities. (P34)
Going eastward是现在分词短语作时间状语,相当于一个状语从句When you go eastward,分词短语可以在句中作时间、原因、方式或结果状语。分词作状语时其逻辑主语必须和句子的主语一致。如果分词与句子的主语构成逻辑上的主谓关系,那么用现在分词;如果分词与句子的主语构成逻辑上的动宾关系,那么用过去分词。如:
They stood there waiting for the bus.
Asked to work overtime that evening, I missed a wonderful film.
【练习】 用所给动词的适当形式填空:
