given有哪些用法
1. 用作 give 的過去分詞,引出過去分詞短語作狀語,意為「如果有……」,「假定……」等義,此時要注意其邏輯主語與句子主語保持一致,句子謂語是否用虛擬語氣,要視句子的具體含義而定。如:
Given time, they』ll probably agree. 給以時間的話,他們可能會同意。(=If we give them time…或If they are given time…)
Given more attention, the trees could have grown better. 要是對這些樹多加注意,它們會長得更好。(=If the trees had been given more attention, they could be grown better.)
2. 可用作介詞,後接名詞或代詞,意為「考慮到」或「鑑於」。如:
Given their inexperience, they』ve done a good job. 考慮到他們缺乏經驗,這工作他們已幹得很不錯了。
Given her interest in children, I’m sure teaching is the right career for her. 鑑於她對小孩的興趣,我敢肯定教書是她最適合的職業。
注意,given 後也可接 that 從句。如上面兩句也可以改為:
Given that they’re inexperienced, they have done a good job.
Given that she is interested in children, I’m sure teaching is the right career for her.
3. 用作形容詞,意為「特定的」「一定的」「規定的」等,通常用作定語。如:
The work must be done within the given time. 工作必須在規定時間內完成。
They were to meet at a given time and place. 他們定了個特定時間和地點見面。
比較下面一句,given為過去分詞,用作後置定語:
The book given to him was an English novel. (= The book which was given to him was an English novel). 送給他的那本書是本英語小說。
