注意 现在分词、过去分词 不定式作定语的一般区别:现在分词
表示正在进行或主动的动作;过去分词表示被动或完成意义;
不定式表示动作尚未发生。

1.现在分词作表语,往往具有形容词的性质,说明主语的性质、
特征等。作表语的现在分词,许多是由能够表示人们某种感情
或情绪的动词变化而来的。常见的有:moving, interesting, encouraging, exciting, inspiring, boring, surprising, puzzling, amusing, astonishing等,这类分词有“令人……的”的含义,常修饰物。
一般跟在be, get, become, look, sound, feel, keep, remain, grow, seem, appear等系动词后面,相当于形容词。
The argument is very convincing.
这个论点很令人信服。
Your speech is very interesting and encouraging.
你的演讲很有趣而且很鼓舞人。
2. 动名词(短语)作表语,表示抽象的一般性行为,用来说明主语的内容,与主语通常是同一概念,表语和主语常可互换位置。
Her hobby is painting.
My job is looking after the children.
作表语的现在分词、过去分词、不定式的区别:
①不定式作表语表示主语的内容,强调一次性的,具体的,将要发生的动作。
②动名词作表语表示主语的内容,表示一般的、泛指的或习惯性的动作。
过去分词作表语表被动、完成,或人感到。
现在分词作表语表述主语的特征和性质,表示令人。
Her job this morning is to sweep the floor.
My job is teaching.
We were deeply moved by his moving deeds.
The news was very disappointing.
