动名词和分词与动词不定式用法chow chow比较
英语中的不定式、动名词和分词(现在分词和过去分词)在句中不能充当谓语,故被称为非谓语动词。它们都有否认式、被动式和完成式。否认词not, never总放在它们之前,被动式及完成式见下表: |
|
| 不定式 harbin weather | 动名词 | hogfather分词 |
| 主动 | 被动 | 主动 | 被动 | 主动 | decision的用法被动 |
一般式 | to keep | to be kept | keeping heeljob | being kept | keeping | being kept |
现在式 | to have kept | to have being kept | having kept | having been kept | having kept | having been kept |
完成式 | to have keeping | \ | \ | \ | \ | \ |
完成实行式 | to have been keeping | \ | \ | \ | \ | \jade raymond |
其中,动名词还能够被代词及名词所有格修饰,构成动名词的复合结构。这种代词和名词所有格充当动名词的逻辑主语。 |

His anxiety doesn't justify his being so rude to his mother. 他的焦虑不是他对母亲这么粗鲁的理由。
The father was angry at his son's spending money like water. 父亲对儿子的花钱如流水感到愤怒。 在口语或非正式语体中,也可用宾格代替代词和名词的所有格。故上面两句可改为:
His anxiety doesn't justify him being so rude to his mother. The father was angry at his son spending money like water.
1.作主语
(1)动名词和不定式都可充当主语,意义上一般区别不大。
Seeing is believing. 和 To e is to believe. 都意为:百闻不如一见。
但动名词常表抽象性概念,泛指习惯性动作或抽象概念,而不定式指某一具体时间内或将来时间中的具体的、特定的动作。
Swimming does good to our health, but to swim on such a cold day is unthinkable.
游泳对我们的健康有好处,但在这么冷的天气里去游泳是难以想象的。
(2)不定式通常用It作形式主语,而动名词通常直接放在句首作主语。
It's necessary to take more sports and games. 多实行体育运动是必要的。
It's nice to talk to such an interesting person as you.和你这么有趣的人谈话很有意思。
白净Climbing mountains is tiring. 爬山是很累人的。
(3)动名词用It 作形式主语时常用于一些固定结构中,如
It's no u (good, n, uless, pointless, a waste of time) doing sth.
It's no u trying to persuade her to follow your advice. 想说服她接受你的建议是没有用的。
It's pointless applying for such an undesirable job. 申请这份不令人喜欢的工作没有意义。
2. 作表语
(1)动名词和分词都可作表语,但动名词作表语说明主语的具体内容,又常有动词特性,可带宾语和状语,而分词则表示主语的性质或状态,可用副词修饰,也可有比较级。The main job of the ant queen is laying eggs. 蚁后的主要工作是产卵。(laying eggs为job 的具体内容,动名词带宾语。)
This book is really entertaining. 这本书确实是引人入胜的。(现在分词表示主语的性质。) He grew more excited and a little frightened when he got to the mysterious cave.当到达那个神秘的洞穴的时候,他变得更加兴奋,同时又有一点害怕。(过去分词作表语,表示已经出现的状态)
(2)动词不定式亦可作表语。 Your task is to get the information we need as soon as possible. 你的任务就是尽可能早地弄到我们所需要的信息。
3.作宾语
(1)不定式和动名词都可作宾语 不定式除了在nothing but/except, have no choice/alternative but后之外,一般不作介词宾语,而只作动词宾语,但不定式短语, 如whether to do, why to do, what to do等均可作介词宾语。 He decided to leave at once. 他决定马上离开。(不定式作动词宾语) 英语教学心得>求职英语She wants nothing but to drink a cup of tea. 她所想要的仅仅一杯茶而已。(不定式作介词宾语) I have no alternative but to wait for him. 我别无选择,只有等他。(不定式作介词宾语)
