二．动名词

I enjoy dancing .

Take some sleeping tablets , and you will soon fall asleep .

吃点安眠药，你很快就会入睡。

注意以下几种结构：

1.There’s no telling what will happen .

=It’s impossible to tell what will happen .

= No one can tell what will happen .

2.It’s no use talking with him .

It’s no good speaking to them like that .

3.There’s some difficulty ( in ) doing …

在此句型中,difficulty 可以由以下单词替换:

trouble , problem , fun , pleasure , a good time , a hard time

注意以下几个问题：

1.下列动词后跟不定式与跟动名词作宾语意义有区别，

forget to do … 忘记要做某事

forget doing… 忘记做了某事

remember to do…记住要做某事

remember doing …记着做了某事

mean to do … 有意要做某事

mean doing … 意味着做了某事

regret to do … 对要做的事表示后悔

regret doing … 对做过去的事后悔

can’t help to do…不能帮助做某事

can’t help doing … 情不自禁做某事

try to do … 尽力去做某事

try doing 试着做某事

learn to do … 学着去做某事

stop to do … 停下来去做(另一件事)

stop doing … 停止做某事

go on to do … 接着做(另外一件事)

go on doing … 继续做某事

be used to doing … 习惯做某事

2.动名词作定语与现在分词作定语意义有区别

动名词作定语表达 n+ for doing 的含义

现在分词作定语表达 n+which(who) be doing的含义

如：a sleeping car = a car for sleeping

a running horse = a horse which is running

前者是动名词 ， 后者是现在分词

又如： drinking water , walking stick running water , sleeping boy

3. 动名词的逻辑主语：

动名词的逻辑主语为代词或名词的所有格形式。

例如：His coming made us very happy .

4.动名词的语态和时态

5. 动名词主动形式表被动的情况：

need doing , want doing , require doing

例如： This room needs painting . 这个房间需要粉刷。
