George Bernard Shaw was interested in the way people spoke. He argued that he was never mistaken

about a person's status .Generally speaking, he thought that lower class people betrayed themselves with their remarks whenever they spoke, and that he could classify people's social position after only a few minutes' observation. However, he never put himself to the test like Henry Higgins and tried to pass

someone of the lower class off as an authentic member of the

upper

class. Higgins thought that a superior social position was more dependent on grammar and pronunciation than on a person's fortune .Actually his view was only accepted by a handful of his followers. These people never

realized that this idea would form the plot for one of Bernard

Shaw's most famous and classic plays!

Revising useful structures.

Ask the students to find out the following two sentences in Act One , then translate them into Chinese. (1)

Now once _______ by me, she’d become an upper class lady…(taught) (2)

Once to speak properly, that girl could pass herself off in three months as a duchess at an ambassador’s garden party.(educated) 2.过去分词作状语：过去分词短语作状语，在意义上相当于一个状语从句，可以表示时间，原因，条件，伴随，方式等。

1.表时间。作时间状语相当于when，while，after等引导的时间状从句。

Asked why he was late, the boy made no answer. =When he was asked why he was late, the boy made no answer. Worn out in the language class, Eliza fell asleep early at night. = Eliza fell asleep early at night after she was worn out in the language class. 2.表原因。作原因状语相当于as/since/because引导的原因状从句

Encouraged by the teacher’s words, he decided to study hard. =Because he was encouraged by the teacher’s words, he decided to study hard. Deeply moved by the story, the students all cried. Because they were deeply moved by the story, the students all cried. 3.表条件。作条件状语相当于if/unless引导的条件状从。

Given more time, we would be able to do the work much better. =If we were given more time, we would be able to do the work much better. If heated, water can be turned into vapour. =If it is heated, water can be turned into vapour. 4.表让步。作让步状语相当于though/although/even if引导的让步状从。

Defeated again, the scientist didn’t give up. =Though he was defeated again, the scientist didn’t give up. 5.方式或伴随状语

The old man went into the room, supported by his wife. Seated at the table, my father and I were talking about my job.

The teacher stood there surrounded by many students. 注意:1.有些过去分词来源于系表结构，作状语时不表被动而表主动。这样的过去分词及短语常见的有:lost (迷路) ,seated(坐)，hidden(躲)，stationed(驻扎)，lost/absorbed in( 沉溺于),born(出身于),dressed in(穿着)，tired of(厌烦)等。

Lost / Absorbed in deep thought, we didn't notice him entering the room.

Tired of the speech, he left without saying a word. 2.明确过去分词作状语的位置。

过去分词可放在主句前作句首状语，后面有逗号与主句隔开；也可放在主句后面，前面有逗号与主句隔开。例如：

He stood there silently, moved to tears. = Moved to tears, he stood there silently. 过去分词的独立主格结构

1.分词作状语时，要特别注意其逻辑主语必须和句子的

主语一致。否则，分词必须有自己的主语。这种带主语的分词被称为分词的独立结构或叫独立主格，在句中作状语,表示时间、原因、条件等。

Given another hour, I can also work out this problem. All things considered, her paper is of great value.

The signal given, the bus started. Her head held high, she went by. 2.独立主格结构有时也可以用“with/without十名词(或代词的宾格)+分词”结构，表示伴随状况。其中with/ without可省略。

They sat there silently,(with) their eyes fixed on the lake. 过去分词与V-ing作状语的区别

1.过去分词表示被动或完成的动作，V-ing 表示主动或进行的动作。

Seen from the mountain, the city looked beautiful. Seeing from the mountain ,we found the city looked beautiful. 2. V-ing 的被动式表示正在进行的被动动作，过去分词表示完成的被动动作。
