我的领悟
动词后的宾语往往用动词不定式或者动名词;有时,同一词后面既可以跟动词不定式,又可以跟动名词形式作宾语,它们的含义不同。
一、只接不定式作宾语的动词
afford, agree, decide, determine (决心), expect, aim, hope, manage, refuse, want, wish, offer, promise, pretend等。
①I wanted to speak to the manager but I got his secretary instead.
我想找经理说话,可是接电话的是他的秘书。
②He decided to go abroad for further education.
他决定去国外深造。
二、只接动名词作宾语的常见动词或短语
suggest, finish, practice, avoid, miss, enjoy, imagine, admit, consider (考虑), escape, risk, mind, stand (忍受), allow, advise, forbid, permit, put off, give up, keep on, feel like, be used to, look forward to, protect/prevent...from等。
①I admit breaking the window.
我承认窗子是我打破的。
②I appreciate being given this opportunity.
非常感谢给了我这个机会。
③It's quite hot today. Do you feel like going for a swim?
今天很热。你愿意去游泳吗?
【温馨提示】 (1)allow, advise, forbid, permit这些动词,如果后面有宾语,则要接动词不定式作宾语补足语。
The doctor advised me to take a few days' rest.
医生建议我休息几天。
(2)在下列句型中也要用动名词作宾语
be worth doing ……值得做
What/How about doing...? 做……怎么样?
have difficulty/trouble/problems (in) doing... 做……有困难
三、接不定式或动名词作宾语且意义差别不大的动词
(1)hate, like, love, prefer后,表示习惯性或经常性的行为,通常多用动名词作宾语;表示特定的、具体的或一次性的活动时则多用不定式作宾语。
I like watching TV, but I don't like to do that this evening because I am too busy.
我喜欢看电视,但今晚我不喜欢看,因为我太忙。
(2)begin, start, continue等后接不定式或动名词作宾语时意义差别不大。

汤姆开始学习如何使用电脑。
四、接不定式或动名词作宾语且意义差别大的动词短语
remember to do 记住要做……
remember doing 记得做过……
forget to do 忘记做……
forget doing 忘记做过……
