Temp-1
台灣在教的「分詞構句」涵蓋範圍廣到什麼程度,我不是很清楚,不過如果要談「他們」的說法的話,那麼那是個 gerund phrase(下方截圖提到的second type):
A study shows that intelligence accounts for only 20 percent of the factors that determine success, with EQ playing an important role in the remaining 80 percent
(*1) 先不去管in the remaining 80 percent
而原句子的with ...所要帶出的是gerund phrase這"整體意思" --> (暫時先這樣子看) EQ plays an important role in the remaining 80 percent(這整句的意思你應該會吧) --> 把"plays"轉成gerund,整個就變成gerund phrase -> with 帶出的是前頭劃底線的整句意思,而不是要傳達某特定EQ的意思。必要的話配合原句子從頭到尾再讀一遍,看看能不能體會出那意思。如果你體會的出來/能看懂,那麼下方的文法術語其實就不重要了。
如果你不清楚什麼是gerund phrase(以及它的角色/功用/傳達的意思),那麼先看這基本的:
至於下方書裡頭的內容對你來說恐怕會過難。有一點我要提醒的是這不是靠「背」就能懂的,如果你真的要在這些文法術語裡頭鑽,你最基本需要做到的是要能真的懂原來句子的(整體)意思。我也知道很多人是「反」過來靠這些文法術語和所謂的「分析」來讀懂英文句子(以及靠片片斷斷的英翻中,然後從零碎的中文去猜測意思)。如果你是這樣子學習英文(和準備考題),那麼下方的文法書內容對你來說沒有太大幫助(只會讓你更加霧煞煞)而已。現階段的話先知道有這種「現象/用法」就好,有時候多接觸,多看,久了也就習慣了。像那個"second type"云云我也是今天才知道,即便如此,在這之前仍是無礙於我看懂這類句子。事實上一般文法書找不大到這麼細的文法介紹(因為一般的文法書重點是放在教「基本的」東西)

: 整個是一個gerund phrase(裡頭包含prepositional phrase "in the ...")"playing"不是現在分詞(引導分詞片語,當形容詞用)的一個原因是整體意思不合理。這說穿了沒什麼,因為如果是現在分詞的話,那麼這時候是"限定"前頭的EQ的意思/角色---特別限定是扮演重要角色的這個特定的EQ(*1),那麼是還有不怎麼重要的EQ?所以才要這樣子這別聲明講清楚,免得讀者誤會還有別種的EQ?
with + gerund phrase(是with這介系詞的受詞(名詞))
(*1) 先不去管in the remaining 80 percent

如果你不清楚什麼是gerund phrase(以及它的角色/功用/傳達的意思),那麼先看這基本的:
http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/phrases.htm#gerund不要只看"playing"這單一個單字。或者是你自行從網路上/你的書裡頭找(中文的)
