Question

請問

1.Engaging in religeous movements, people develop their moral spirit.



2.Being engaged in religeous movements, people develop their moral spirit.

請問哪一個寫法是engage用分詞構句的正確用法？

Answer 1

第一句是正確用法.1.Engaging in religeous movements, people develop their moral spirit.原句是:People engage in religeous movements. People develop their moral spirit.第1個engage是用作動詞.2.Being engaged in religeous movements, people develop their moral spirit.第2個engage是用作形容詞第一句都是正確用法.而這個engage在這裡應用作動詞,因為忙碌在某事上(in religeous movements)是用動詞,而不是形容詞.

Answer 2

由於engage習慣用法是以engaged當形容詞來用。因此，第二句才是較正式的用法。
