2. Important Points
动词-ing形式作主语
①动词-ing形式作主语,相当于一个名词, 多指抽象、概念性的动作,经常性或习惯性行为,单个v-ing作主语谓语动词用_______数。
(1) _________ (see) is believing.
(2) _________ (read) aloud is very important for us to learn English.
(3) _________ (play) badminton is my favourite sport.
Translating the following sentences.
沉迷手机是浪费时间的。(be addicted to doing沉迷于……)
___________________________________is a waste of time.
论此类事情无益。
___________________________________is no good.
参加这个活动是值得的。
___________________________________is worthwhile.
②有时为了句子平衡,避免头重脚轻, 用it作形式主语,而把真正的主语(动词-ing短语)后置。但这种句子形式有一定的限制,作表语的只能是某些形容词或少数名词。
常见的固定句型有:It is/was a waste of time doing … 做……是浪费时间的
It is/was no good doing … 做……是没益的
It is/was no use doing … 做……是无用处的
It is/was worth doing … 做……是值得的
There is no sense in doing … 做……没有道理
③ “There is + no” 后可用-ing形式作主语,表示“没法……”。
这种结构的意思相当于 “It is impossible to do… ”
There is no hiding of evil but not to do it. 若要人不知, 除非己莫为。
④ 动词-ing形式与不定式做主语的比较
动词-ing形式通常表示抽象动作;且表示已知的事情或经验。
动词不定式作主语则表示某次具体动作或行为;且表示未完成的事情或未达成的目的。
例1:Doing nothing is doing evil.什么也不做就是作恶。
例2:It’s an honor for me to be invited to the party.我很荣幸被邀请参加这个晚会。
