英语语法状语从句
Some users have complained about a blue light continuously flashing on their consoles,affecting its operation.
逗号后面的现在分词是结果状语吧,这样不应该主谓一致吗,可明显感觉它的主语不是users而是a blue light,这科学吗,今天看bbc看到的,以前读雅思文章遇到过一直以为是病句,但bbc动摇我的判断
以前我只知道状语必须考虑一致性像下面的句子The little girl lied on the playground,looking into the sky.(逗号后接现在分词短语表伴随状语)
此处的 affecting its operation 以及前面的 flashing on their consoles 都是动名词短语,不是分词.

  本句中的 affecting its operation 是对 flashing on their consoles 进行补充说明的并列动名词短语,也就是说,第二个动名词短语 affecting its operation 前面省略了与上文重复的逻辑主语 a blue light.

  a blue light continuously flashing on their consoles,和a blue light affecting its operation 都是动名词复合结构.动名词复合结构在书面语中,逻辑主语常用每次所用个(a blue light’s),但在口语中,用作宾语的动名词复合结构的逻辑主语可以用主格代替.因此,如果罗嗦点儿说,这句话可以改写如下:

Some users complained about a blue light’s continuously flashing ontheir consoles,that is to say they complained about a blue light’s affecting its operation.(有些用户抱怨控制台蓝色信号灯不停地闪动,也就是说抱怨这种信号灯影响它自身的运行)
