Question

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。
