它的本质是描述“X 与 Y 相伴而行”,其中 Y 可以是具体事物、抽象概念或行为。
该短语通常作状语(修饰动词、句子或说明背景),偶尔作定语(修饰名词)。以下是常见结构和场景:
`主语 + 谓语 + in company with + 事物(sth.)`
或
`In company with + 事物(sth.), 主语 + 谓语…`(句首作状语,强调伴随的事物)
伴随“同时发生”:说明两个动作/状态同时存在。
例:The rise in unemployment was in company with a drop in consumer spending.(失业率上升的同时,消费支出也下降了。)
例:The new policy was introduced in company with several tax cuts.(新政策是和几项减税措施一起推出的。)
伴随“同时存在”:说明两个事物一起出现或存在。
例:She received the award in company with a $10,000 prize.(她获奖的同时还得到了1万美元的奖金。)
例:The exhibition features paintings in company with sculptures by local artists.(展览展出了本地艺术家的绘画作品和雕塑。)
句首强调:将伴随的事物提前,突出其与主语的关联。
例:In company with the rain, a cold wind began to blow.(随着雨的到来,寒风也开始刮起来。)
例:In company with technological advances, our lives have become more convenient.(随着技术进步,我们的生活变得更便捷了。)
主谓一致(就远原则):
当主语是“A + in company with + B”时,谓语动词与A保持一致(因为“in company with B”是介词短语,不影响主语的单复数)。
例:The CEO, in company with her team, is attending the conference.(CEO和她的团队一起参加会议。)(主语是CEO,单数,所以用is)
例:The book, in company with three magazines, was left on the table.(那本书和三本杂志一起放在桌子上。)(主语是book,单数,所以用was)
in company with sb.:与“in company with sth.”结构一致,但后面接“人”,表示“和某人一起”(更强调“陪伴”)。
例:She went to the party in company with her sister.(她和姐姐一起去了派对。)
keep company with sb./sth.:意为“与…交往;陪伴”(强调“持续的陪伴或往来”,更具动态性)。
例:He keeps company with bad influences.(他和不良人士交往。)
along with / together with:与“in company with”含义相近,但in company with更正式,多用于书面语;而along with/together with更口语化。
后接事物(sth.),强调伴随关系;
可放在句首、句中或句末;
主谓一致遵循“就远原则”。
