連綴動詞可用於分詞構句或分詞片語中嗎?

Question

請問連綴動詞如 seem, remain, become等
可否用於分詞構句或分詞片語中嗎？

例如，下列各句用法是否正確？
1. The woman's sudden death reminded him of another murder
case, remaining unsolved today.
(原為which remained unsolved today)
2. Jim fell from the tree, seeming terrified.
(原為 and he seemed terrified)
3. Kelly worked very hard, becoming the supervisor of this company.
(原為 and she became the supervisor...)

我查了很多文法書，並沒有提及此點
知道的人可否為我解惑，謝謝！

Answer 1

版主您好:

The woman's sudden death reminded him of another murder case, remaining unsolved today.
(原為which remained unsolved today)
原來的關係子句是形容詞子句, 所以改為[remaining unsolved today]是分詞片語, 仍然當形容詞用, 不是分詞構句.

Jim fell from the tree, seeming terrified.
(原為 and he seemed terrified)
較為恰當的寫法是:
Jim fell from the tree, seemingly terrified.
把原句[(看起來)似乎]的語意由動詞轉為副詞形態, 來形容重點:[(被)嚇到了]

Kelly worked very hard, becoming the supervisor of this company.
(原為 and she became the supervisor...)
較為恰當的寫法是:
Working very hard, Kelly became the supervisor of this company.
前半分詞構句是說明原因, 導致後半的結果.

分詞構句的寫法其實不如一般人想像的單純, 不過從"語意的合理性"去考量, 要比純粹從文法(動詞的種類)切入要恰當得多.

第三句改為:
Having worked very hard, Kelly became the supervisor of this company.
更能表達出事情發展的前因後果.

第3題的beomce (依舊) 是 連綴動詞(linking verb) 而非及物動詞

Answer 3

在「賴世雄」英文文法(上冊)
第一句 (針對形容詞子句)
page 272
其它
page 268
都有詳細的分詞化簡法及例句說明，說的就是你的問題

不好意思，重新看了你的問題，真的查不到
我只能用語意來解，因為連綴動詞是連繫主詞與主補，重點在主補對於主詞的修餙
1. The woman's sudden death reminded him of another murder
casewhich remained unsolved today
改寫：The woman's sudden death reminded him of another unsolved murder today.
case today.

2. Jim fell from the tree and he seemed terrified.
改寫：Jim fell from the tree, terrified.
3. become在此應該是及物用法
沒有連綴動詞的疑慮
------------------------
從語意看起來，連輟轉分詞的機會可能較少
也找不到好的實例，所以文法書也就不提了

看了意見的內容
查了一下字典
第三題確實是LV

語意上來看

3. Kelly worked very hard, becoming the supervisor of this company.
becoming也有即將(正在)成為的意思，可能造成誤解 (而原句則表示事情已經發生完畢了)


所以修改如下
Kelly worked very hard, having become the supervisor of this company.

因主詞是人，所以不會造成dangling subject的問題，這是改分詞構句要注意的地方
