1.Williams’s suit charges that the casion, knowing he was "helpless addicted to gambling". intentionally worked to "lure" him to "engage in conduct against his will"well
这个句子的主语是suit,可是为什么casion后面的know要接ing形式呢?这不就是悬垂修饰了吗,如果做主语的补语应该是以casion为主语才对啊。不明白啊,看了半天没懂,请求赐教感激不尽。
对比句:The picture is showing us another man ,paying 200 yuan for the same book as that woman.这个句子就是个明显的悬垂修饰语,因为paying和picture没有关系,是man所发出的。所以第一句为什么就可以使用knowing呢?

青蛙的语法学的不好,不明白何为“悬垂修饰”,我个人倾向于把这里看作一个逗号隔开的插入语来理解:
为方便理解可将knowing he was 。。。改写成who knows that he was...形成一个从句,这里的who就是指前面的the casion
而原句中既然省略了其主语who,自然就需要将谓语动词knows改为非谓语的形式,又因为这里所表示的是一种伴随的状态,所以使用其动名词形式knowing
