Question

英语当中现在分词作状语，表原因吗？

The football player was not nominated by the committee,( )not very popular with all its members.
A.to be considered B. considering C.being considered D.having considerded
请选择并分析一下答案

Answer 1

选C
动词consider与句子主语(the football player)间是动宾关系，所以采用现在分词的被动形式。主句是过去时态，A中动词不定式表达的是将来，不合题意。
这是现在分词短语作原因状语没错。 分词短语在句中作原因状语时，相当于一个原因状语从句。
The football player was not nominated by the committee, because he was considered not very popular with all its members.

Answer 2

不一定，你看看语法书吧

Answer 3

现在分词做状语，一般表示伴随发生的动作，很少表原因

Answer 4

这个不是一定的
