英语句子结构分析.
423.The third was the unfocussed visitors ,most of them children.
能分析下句子结构吗.most of them children.是同位语吗?如果是,为什么不是most of them being children.

Answer 1

most of them children 是独立主格结构,只不过省略了being.在句子中作状语,表示补充说明.
most of them being children 也是独立主格结构,在句子中作状语,表示补充说明.
那么什么时候可以省略独立主格结构中的being呢?规则如下：
不能省略being (having been)的情形：在下列两种情况下,独立主格结构中的being（或having been）不能省略.
(1) 独立主格的逻辑主语是代词时.如：It being Sunday,we went to church.因为是星期天,我们去做了礼拜.
(2)在There being+名词的结构中.如：There being no bus,we had to go home on foot.因为没有公共汽车,所以我们不得不步行回家.
