With the tree grown tall, we get more shade.
为何用被动grown tall ? 树不是自己长高吗?
为何不是With the tree growing tall 呢?
With the tree grown tall, we get more shade.
这是 with 复合结构,grown tall 为过去分词短语作tree 的宾补。
grow 为系动词,后面接形容词作表语,是不及物动词这些。其过去分词只表示“完成”,不表示“被动”,也就是说:the tree has grorwntall ,不是 the tree has been grown tall,系表结构是没被动式的。类似表达:
I have won the championship. It is just a dream come true.
come 是系动词 come 的过去分词,true 为表语。然后过去分词短语come true 作定语。dream 与其没被动关系。
With the tree growing tall:这个表达也是正确的,但意思却大不相同。目前分词表主动和进行,意思是:伴随树不断长高,......
而 With the tree grown tall 的意思是:因为树已长高,......
