35、 permitting，wed better have a holiday at weekends.如果时间允许，我们最好周末去度假。bWhen we see from the hilltop，we can find the city more beautiful.转换为：Seeing from the hilltop，we can find the city more beautiful.从山顶上看，我们发现这个城市更美了。(4)独立主格结构与独立成分的区别有些分词短语可以独立存在，在句子中没有逻辑上的主语，已经变成了习惯用法。这些短语有：generally speaking 总的说来； f
