非谓语动词之动名词
1
动名词
动名词(Gerund)是英语中三种非限定动词的一种,由动词原形加ing构成。
动名词不能作谓语。但可以作主语、宾语、表语和定语。动名词本身也可以有宾语并可以用状语来修饰。所以,动名词兼有名词和动词的性质。
动名词的几种形式:
语态 主动语态 被动语态
一般式 studying being studied
完成式 having studied having been studied
动名词也可以有自己的逻辑主语
1.动名词作主语
动名词或动名词结构放在句首作主语
例如:Reading aloud is very important in learning a language.
学一门语言时,朗读很重要。
在一些结构里须用it作形式主语,把动名词后置,例如;
It‘s no use talking to him about it。
跟他谈这事没用。
It's no good waiting for her.
等她没什么好处。
It's nice working with you.与你共事很愉快。
It‘s a waste of time talking to her.
跟她谈话是浪费时间。
It‘s fun dancing on the square.
在广场跳舞很好玩。
另外,有一种 “there + be + no + 动名词”结构,例如:
There is no joking on this matter.
这事开不得玩笑。
There is no denying the fact that she was taught by him.
无可否认,她是他教出来的。
2、动名词作表语
动名词或动名词结构可以放在系动词后作表语,例如:
My job is teaching.我的工作是教书。
(比较:I'm teaching.)
3 、动名词作宾语
动名词或动名词结构可以做谓语动词的宾语,例如:
The thief admitted entering the house.
那个贼承认曾进过那所房子。
Mrs. Green does not allow smoking in her house.
格林夫人不允许在她家抽烟。
常跟动名词作宾语的动词还有:
advise, appreciate, avoid, begin, chance, commence, complete, consider, continue, defer (= delay), delay, deserve, despise (=hate, detest), detest, dislike, dread, endure, enjoy, excuse, fancy, favor (=like, agree), fear, finish, forbid, forget, get, go, hate, can't help, imagine, intend, like, love, miss, mind, need, omit, permit, postpone, prefer, propose, recall,, regret, require, resent, resume, risk,' save, stand, start, stop, suggest, try, understand 等
说明:chance, forget, love, like, hate, dislike, begin, start, continue, intend, attempt, can't bear, can't afford, propose, prefer, neglect, need, try, remember, regret, deserve 等动词后也可以用不定式,但意义有所区别。
常用的需要跟动名词的动词与介词的搭配有:
accuse of,aim at,approve of,charge...with,depend on,devote to,dream of, excuse for,feel like,hear of,insist on,keep from,look forward to,object to,oppose to,persist in,prevent from,refrain from,set about,spend in,stop from,suspect of,succeed in,thank of,think of 等。
