补充一下...整段是长这样...the clubhouse指的是圣路易红雀队
因为Cincinnati打败只差红雀一场的竞争对手~
所以还必需take care of their own business.
When Cincinnati pulled out the walk-off victory, the clubhouse briefly
erupted. Then it was back to work, knowing that they had an opportunity to
end the evening with a champagne celebration if they could take care of their
own business.
原po文:
Then it was back to work, knowing that they had an opportunity to end the
evening with a champagne celebration if they could take care of their own
business.
我想问的只是第一个逗点后的knowing
这种用法常见到~
虽然文章还是看的懂
但我始终不知道为什么可以这样接~
换句话说我绝对不会这样写...
只要有逗号+动名词...就可以一直串句子下去吗?
这是属于文法书中的那个部份?
该不会是我从小到大没一天懂过的分词构句吧?
谢谢

有没逗号在讲的时候根本表达不出来...是靠停顿吗?

那个逗点的确只是表示语气停顿，文法上没有意义

是分词构句(逗号一定要)。"knowing"是现在分词，不是动名词。技术性上来说这是dangling participle(分词（意思上）主词不是主要子句的主词)，但是像原句子那样的虚主词it的写法很普遍，"Practical English Usage"(by M. Swan)一书是说".... are common and often seem quite natural,particularly when the main clause has preparatory 'it' ... as a subject." 特别是像这种Sports一类的新闻写法一般很活/很日常

唔，再仔细看过一遍原句子是：It was back to work, (they) knowing that...they被省略（严格来讲有语病），逗点是必须的，因为后面是个子句（？）我原来读成 They went back to work(,) knowing that...这样的逗点才是可有可无

it是虚主词代表 knowing后的全部子句(真主词)
