第三章 动词的扩充


第十六课 V扩充子的复杂组合:(MOD)+(PERF)+(PROG)+(PASS)+V

 16-1 [V扩充子的复杂组合] 
 我们已经学习了必须的动词扩充子{Agreement呼应}和可选择动词扩充子的组合,它们是{Modal} EPD(MOD), {Perfect} EPD(PERF), {Progressive} EPD(PROG)和{Passive} EPD(PASS)。树形图:
      (1)              V
                   /    \
            EPD[AGR]        V
           (PRS/PST)     /   \
                   (EPD[MOD])   V
                   (EPD[PERF])
                   (EPD[PROG])
                   (EPD[PASS])
 像你想象的一样,这四种可选择的动词扩充子有时可以两种,三种,甚至四种组合在一起。
    (2) The computer will have written a novel in a week.
     计算机将会在一周内完成小说。
                 ("will" + "have-en" + "write a novel")
    (3) A novel will have been written ø by the computer by next
        month.
     下个月之前小说将在计算机上完成。
                 ("will" + "have-en" + "be-en" + "write a novel")
    (4) A novel will have been being written ø for 10,000 hours
        by the computer tomorrow morning.
     到明天早上,小说将花10,000个小时在计算机上完成。
                 ("will" + "have-en" + "be-ing" + "be-en" + "write
                  a novel")
 在(2), (3)和(4)中的动词短语包括复杂动词扩充子的组合,即complex combination of V EPDs

 16-2 [树形图和例句] 
 例如,句子(2)由句(5)生成。
 (5) The computer + PRS + will + have-en + write a novel + in a week
                        ↓        ↓        ↓
 (6) The computer      will      have    written a novel   in a week.
 树形图:
      (7)  (will have written a novel)
                        V
                     /   \
              EPD[AGR]       V
               (PRS)      /   \
                    EPD[MOD]      V
                     (will)    /   \
                          EPD[PERF]   V
                          (have-en) (write a novel)
 下面的树形图(8)和(9)分别和(3)和(4)对应。
      (8)  (will have been written ø )
                        V
                    /    \
              EPD[AGR]       V
               (PRS)      /   \
                    EPD[MOD]      V
                     (will)    /   \
                          EPD[PERF]    V
                          (have-en) /   \
                               EPD[PASS]    V
                                (be-en)  (write a novel)

      (9)  (will have been being written ø )
                        V
                     /   \
              EPD[AGR]       V
               (PRS)       /   \
                     EPD[MOD]      V
                      (will)    /   \
                          EPD[PERF]     V
                          (have-en)  /   \
                               EPD[PROG]     V
                               (be-ing)   /   \
                                    EPD[PASS]     V
                                     (be-en)  (write a novel)
 其它例句:
      (10)  The parrot will have mastered English in a year.
             英语将在一年后掌握英语。
      (11)  I must be dreaming.
             我一定是在做梦。
      (12)  Tom will be invited ø to the party.
             汤姆将被邀请参加那个聚会
      (13)  We have been expecting your call.
             我一直在期待你来电话。
      (14)  A new shopping center is being built ø in the suburbs.
             一家新的购物中心正在郊区建造。
      (15)  I have been being underpaid ø too long.
             我被少发工资太长时间了。
 16-3 [V扩充子复杂组合的数/顺序] 
 注意,当你使用两个,三个或四个可选择的动词扩充子时,必须遵守一定的顺序。例如,以下顺序就不能被接受。
      (16)   * (PRS/PST) + have-en + will (+ V)
                       (ex.*has willen write a novel)
      (17)   * (PRS/PST) + be-ing + have-en (+ V)
                       (ex.*is having written)
      (18)   * (PRS/PST) + be-en + be-ing (+ V)
                       (ex.*is been writing)
 例如,动词扩充子"have-en"前面绝对不能出现"will","have-en"前面不能出现"be-ing","be-ing"前面不能出现"be-en"。简而言之,这些可选择的动词扩充子顺序应该为:
 (19) PRS/PST → "will",etc → "have-en" → "be-ing" → "be-en" → V
 动词扩充的排列顺序如(20)所示。
 (20) PRS/PST (MOD)(PERF)(PROG) (PASS)   V
                        ( ( )means "optional"   ( )的意思是“可选择的”)
 单从规则(20)来看,我们可以产生十六种组合如下。[ 例句是带有PRS(第三人称单数)的AGR(即,V EPD{Agreement}), "will"作为MOD, "write a novel"作为动词。]
  (21)a. PRS/PST + V
                  (ex.  writes a novel)
      b. PRS/PST+will + V
                  (ex.  will write a novel)
      c. PRS/PST+have-en +V
                  (ex.  has written a novel)
      d. PRS/PST+be-ing + V
                  (ex.  is writing a novel)
      e. PRS/PST+be-en + V
                  (ex.  is written ø)
      f. PRS/PST+will + have-en + V
                  (ex.  will have written a novel)
      g. PRS/PST+will + be-ing + V
                  (ex.  will be writing a novel)
      h. PRS/PST+will + be-en + V
                  (ex.  will be written ø)
      i. PRS/PST+have-en + be-ing + V
                  (ex.  has been writing a novel)
      j. PRS/PST+have-en + be-en + V
                  (ex.  has been written ø)
      k. PRS/PST+be-ing + be-en + V
                  (ex.  is being written ø)
      l. PRS/PST+will + have-en + be-ing + V
                  (ex.  will have been writing a novel)
      m. PRS/PST+will + have-en + be-en + V
                  (ex.  will have been written ø)
      n. PRS/PST+will + be-ing + be-en + V
                  (ex.  will be being written ø)
      o. PRS/PST+have-en + be-ing + be-en + V
                  (ex.  has been being written ø)
      p. PRS/PST+will + have-en + be-ing + be-en + V
                  (ex.  will have been being written ø)
 然而,一些语言学家认为,(21h)以下的用法是"罕见的",不可行的。
