介词是我们平日学习中常见的内容，可谓人人皆知。但是有一种特殊的介词也许并非人人皆知，因为它们是来源于现在分词、过去分词的介词，这方面内容很少在教学、语法著作中谈及，但它们却在测试中时有出现。现列举如下：
1．including包括

英语中的分词介词英语中有一部分介词，如including，during，according to，past等，是从动词的分词（多为现在分词）形式转变而来，因此，被称之为分词介词。笔者收集了10余个V-ing型分词介词，并从陆谷孙主编的《英汉大词典》摘引了相应例句，现列举如下：

探析貌似分词的介词和连词
作者：王爱新
在英语中，有一些词汇貌似动词的现在分词或过去分词，而实际上却是介词或连词。由于它们所具有的独特的词形，因此学生很难把它们与介词或连词联系在一起，在理解和使用时也难免出错。现将高中阶段常见的分词作介词或连词的情况进行归纳，并通过实例加以说明。
（一）貌似分词的介词
1. according to 根据，依照

一、弄清过去分词作状语的最基本特点，初步认识过去分词作状语
过去分词作状语表示被动的和完成的动作。例如：
Written in a hurry, this article was not so good!
因为写得匆忙，这篇文章不是很好。
析： written 为过去分词作状语，表示这篇文章是被写的，而且已经被写。
值得注意的是，有些过去分词因来源于系表结构，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）； ated （坐）； hidden （躲）； stationed （驻扎）； lost / absorbed in （沉溺于）； born （出身于）； dresd in （穿着）； tired of （厌烦）。
Lost / Absorbed in deep thought, he didn't hear the sound. 因为沉溺于思考之中，所以他没听到那个声音。
Born in this beautiful town, he hates to leave it. 出生于这个美丽的小镇，他不愿离开它。
二、明确过去分词作状语时的逻辑主语，进一步认识过去分词作状语
过去分词作状语时其逻辑主语为主句的主语，此时应注意人称一致。例如：
Given another hour, I can also work out this problem. 再给我一个小时，我也能解这道题。
析： given 为过去分词作状语，它的逻辑主语为主句主语 I ，即 I 被再给一个小时。
Seen from the top of the hill, the city looks more beautiful to us. 从山顶看城市，城市显得更
漂亮。
析： en 为过去分词作状语，表“被看”，由语境可知，它的逻辑主语必须是城市，而不是“我们”，因
为“我们”应主动看城市。
创业感想
值得注意的是，如果过去分词作状语时，前面再加逻辑主语，主句的主语就不再是分词的逻辑主语，这种
带逻辑主语的过去分词结构实际上属于独立主格结构。例如：
The signal given, the bus started. 信号一发出，汽车就开动了。
蚝油是什么油
析： the signal 是 given 的逻辑主语，因此主句主语 the bus 就不是 given 的逻辑主语。
Her head held high, she went by. 她把头昂得高高地从这儿走了过去。
析： her head 是 held high 的逻辑主语，因此主句主语 she 就不再是 held high 的逻辑主语。
三、弄清过去分词作状语的由来，从宏观上把握过去分词作状语
过去分词作状语来源于状语从句。例如：
Caught in a heavy rain, he was all wet. 因为淋了一场大雨，所以他全身湿透了。
析： caught in a heavy rain 为过去分词短语作原因状语，它来源于原因状语从句 Becau he was caught in a heavy rain.
Grown in rich soil, the eds can grow fast. 如果种在肥沃的土壤里，这些种子能长得很快。
析： grown in rich soil 为过去分词作条件状语，它来源于条件状语从句 If the eds are grown in rich soil.
值得注意的是，状语从句改成过去分词作状语时有时还可保留连词，构成“连词＋过去分词”结构作状
语。When given a medical examination, you should keep calm.当你做体格检查时要保持镇定。
四、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. 他静静地站在那里，被感动得热泪盈眶。
主要有：considering, including, included, given, concerning, regarding.如：
1.Considering his age, he is still quite healthy.考虑到他的年纪，他还算是非常健康的。
2. There are six persons in the classroom, including me.= There are six persons in the classroom, me included.包括我在内，教室里面有六个人。
3. Given more time, I would finish it surely.如果有更多的时间，我一定会完成它。
4. What do you know concerning this?关于这事你知道些什么?
5. Regarding the punishment, what would you advi?关于处罚, 你有何意见?
