Nominative Absolute 　　獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu) 　　獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)指帶主語(yǔ)的動(dòng)詞分詞、介詞、或副詞詞組。 何謂獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)? 　　它是指與主語(yǔ)之間無(wú)任何語(yǔ)法關(guān)系的名詞或代詞加上一個(gè)分詞的結(jié)構(gòu)。它不修飾單個(gè)的詞，而修飾整個(gè)句子。獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)可位于句子的任何部位。它構(gòu)成一個(gè)單獨(dú)實(shí)體，并具有如下兩種功能：(1) 解釋原因或情景 (2) 提供主句中重點(diǎn)部分的相關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)。 　　例 Freud distinguished three kinds of anxiety, each arising from a different source of perceived danger. 　　"each" 是獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)，"arising from"是動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)。注意這個(gè)獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)是一個(gè)"干巴巴"的句子。通過(guò)改變動(dòng)詞形式，它的面貌可煥然一新：Each arises from a different source of perceived danger. 　　再看以下例句 　　Before: His nose was running and his hands were shaking.
