superior

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!

Step Three: Complete these sentences using the correct form of the

phrases below.

in return

in disguise

in amazement

in delight

in particular

1. The man we thought was a policeman was actually a thief in disguise. 2. As he accepted the prize for his adaptation of a novel for TV, Li looked around him in delight. 3. She stared at the priceless antique ring in amazement. 4. It was such a wonderful play – I enjoyed the music in particular. 5. He gave me a musical box at my birthday party and I gave him a wonderful new coat in return.

Step four: Grammar 1、Revise the Past Participle as Adverbial. 过去分词短语做状语可表示时间、地点、原因、条件、让步、伴随等意义。这种过去分词状语相当于一个时间、地点、原因、条件、让步等状语从句, 若过去分词作状语, 句子的主语与分词所表示的动作构成动宾关系, 即是该分词动作的承受者。过去分词(短语)作状语时, 也可在其前面加

上连词when, if, once, though, unless等, 以便明确作何种状语。

2、Practice. (1)

表时间, 相当于一个时间状语从句, 有时过去分词前可加连词when或while来强调时间概念。如：从山顶上看, 这个城市就像一个大花园。

Seen from the top of the hill, the city looked

like a big garden. (2)

表原因, 相当于一个原因状语从句。如：激动的人们被那个故事深深地感动了, 停止了争吵。

Moved by the story, the excited people stopped quarrel. (3)

表条件, 相当于一个条件状语从句, 有时过去分词前可用if等词。如：再给他一次机会, 他会做得更好。

Given another chance, he will do better. (4)

表让步, 相当于一个though/although引导的让步状语从句。如：尽管已经跑得筋疲力尽, 他们还是继续追赶着那个强盗。

Exhausted by the running, they went on running after

the robber.

(5)表方式或伴随情况。如：那个老人在他的妻子的搀扶下走进了房间。

The old man went into the room, supported by his wife.

Tips: 过去分词作状语与现在分词作状语的区别在于: 过去分词与句子主语构成动宾关系, 而现在分词与句子主语构成主谓关系。
