动名词作宾语 % W- s& W/ a% ]/ H" q. M* W
1. 许多动词不能接不定式作宾语,同时又需要动宾结构作宾语,此时动名词便可大显身手了,如:enjoy singing(喜欢唱歌), * |7 H+ U2 e+ ~4 P1 ` N$ l( ]" T
avoid looking me in the eye
$ w3 l- n1 n. D2 Z+ u5 M miss crashing into the tree 5 V# V9 B. |& a, ?
Fancy meeting you here! (想不到在这里见到你了) 6 V, s" l0 S' b' E
常接动名词doing做宾语的动词有:
: e8 \- p: z, \4 c# X) h8 b. J enjoy, mind, delay, avoid, consider, deny, miss, escape, fancy, suggest, insist等 6 h8 I4 x. p) D; }4 ^
另外, 在一些固定用法当中, 也需要用动名词做宾语, 如:
% L6 K; N+ l2 m# b/ h7 I. g& s can’t help doing, it’s no use doing, it’s worth doing, be busy doing, feel like doing等. / m- _, R4 l5 }- g- z8 n
2. 有的动词既可以用动名词作宾语,也可以用不定式,两者意思区别不大, 如: like, begin, start, love, learn等,
, \7 A9 Q$ {9 x: r& ~5 L5 u' ^7 p 如: She began playing piano when she was five. / i ~5 {" a' U4 t" d9 G( O4 g6 Y
She began to play piano when she was five. ( M- |# e2 A x( f j
但是对于remember, forget, try等动词来说,接不定式和接动名词意义不同, 如:
3 j3 ]0 T. p9 z. g* } How many people remember listening to the radio broadcast, "The War of the Worlds"
; O; c- ~! i( @: B (还有多少人记得听过无线广播-- The War of the Worlds) (表示已经听过了) ; H8 u0 @, z& t- H; Q; O8 c
I remember to listen to the radio broadcast, "The War of the Worlds" & M+ P2 _' c0 p( E' a
(我想起来要听广播-- The War of the Worlds) (表示还没有听过)
& j# n' u5 `) g& [ G& k5 R We must try to work this problem out. (我们必须尽力把这道题做出来)(表示努力,设法)
! S, c/ f2 |6 p; Q% A We can try doing it. (我们可以试着做它) (表示尝试)
& [3 m0 }6 X1 M" n7 A, K 动名词作介词宾语的情况更加普遍,详见第四章介词-介宾短语 t. b' N' v) @- y+ F
例题: / i3 {5 {8 w O: n e; D! m

8 i; d" u/ e" y) Q) C, f A mortgage enables a person to buy property without paying for it outright; thus more people are able to enjoy to own a house.
0 y# N' W; b$ Z1 o( H 应改为:owning ! M7 j7 o, d+ A# e, j2 H
解释:enjoy doing是固定用法,必须用动名词作enjoy的宾语 |
