Обстоятельственные причастные обороты в английском языке бывают двух видов:

1) зависимый причастный оборот, в котором действие, выражаемое причастием, относится к подлежащему данного предложения. Такие обороты, как мы видели, выражают обстоятельства времени, причины или образа действия и обычно переводятся русскими деепричастными оборотами, например:

 

Applying force, we produce motion

Прилагая силу, мы производим движение

 

2) независимый причастный оборот. В английском языке, в отличие от русского, бывают и такие причастные обороты, в которых действие, выражаемое причастием не обнаруживает прямой связи с подлежащим данного предложения, а имеет как бы свое собственное подлежащее

 

The equipment having purchased, the construction began

 

Такие обороты называются независимыми причастными оборотами. (The Nominative Absolute Participle Construction).

Они переводятся тремя способами;

3) придаточным предложением времени:

Когда (после того, как) закупили оборудование, началось строительство

 

4) придаточным предложением причины:

 

Так как закупили оборудование, началось строительство

 

самостоятельным предложением, соединенным союзами: причем; в то время, как; а, но. Такой перевод дается обычно тогда, когда независимый причастный оборот стоит в конце предложения:

Almost all metals are good conductors of electricity,

silver being the best conductor of all. Почти все металлы являются

хорошими проводниками электричества, причем самым лучшим из всех оказывается серебро.

Основными признаками независимого причастного оборота являются:

а) наличие слова (группы слов), играющего роль подлежащего в причастном обороте; б) наличие запятой, которая всегда отделяет независимый причастный оборот.
