Two bowls of wine bolstered up his courage已是精彩的Impersonal Subject Sentence，但是，紧跟其后的现在分词短语making him lose his scruples and start his usual rampaging也值得我们咀嚼，它同样具有Impersonal Subject Sentence的性质！短短一句，尽现Impersonal Subject Sentence之风采。英译的句子结构更趋紧密，行文更趋流畅，逻辑也就更一致。

这些动词如see, witness, look, peer等。
1705048002
1705048003
仔细一想，我们汉语中并不乏这样的句式，不乏对视觉动词的活用。如：天安门广场曾经目睹了伟大的“五四”运动。又如：山顶上的那家豪华宾馆鸟瞰西湖。但是，英语运用视觉动词的语域（register）要宽广得多。比如，Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English，就对动词see作了这样一条释义：to be an occasion of (an event or course in history); to have experience of; undergo，并附有例句：The 5th century saw the end of the Roman Empire in the West. / This old house has seen better days; now it’s in bad repair.

1705048023
包括greet, kiss, tell, ask等动词。

当这些动词作谓语时，其主语竟是无生命的（inanimate）或具体或抽象的物，对于我们以汉语为母语的人来说确实新鲜，也是初学汉英翻译的人所难以联想甚至不敢运用的。
