各位大大好!
小弟看了一篇文章:
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes, from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.
它的翻譯:
一天晚上,有一個人做了一個夢。 夢見他與主(the Lord)一起走在沙灘上。 在漆黑的天際,掠過他生命一幕幕的片段。 每幕片段,他都看見沙灘上有兩對足印,一對是他的,一對是主的。
我的問題是:one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord .這段話中,為什麼belong要變成belonging呢? 是因為獨立分詞構句的關係嗎?可是若將它還原帶入when、because等從屬連接詞的話,好像也不符說~還是另有原因呢?
拜託各位了!

✔ 最佳答案
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

冒號後面的one and the other是two sets的同位語,用來給明細。

one belonging to him, and the other (belonging) to the Lord是用[分詞片語]當[修飾語]的寫法(做後位修飾語,修飾前面的代名詞,第二個分詞為避免重複而省去)。
這部分也可用形容詞子句當修飾語的方式來寫作:one which belongs to him, and the other which belongs to the Lord.

用分詞片語會比用形容詞子句讓句子看起來較簡潔。

"belonging to him" 是形容詞片語,是在形容其中一個footprint是“屬於他的”。

Two sets of footprints in the sand, which one of them belongs to him, and the other belongs to the Lord.

Two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.
