第6章 动词的-ing形式

动词的-ing形式包括传统语法的“动名词”(gerund)和“现在分词”(present participle)两个部分。动词的-ing形式具有动词的特征,同时又具有名词、形容词和副词的特征,因此它可以在句中作主语、表语、定语、宾语、宾语补足语和状语。


一、动词-ing形式的特征和种类

与动词不定式一样,动词的-ing形式也具有动词的特征,有时态和语态的变化,并可带状语、宾语等。

A.动词-ing形式的一般式

1.动词-ing形式的一般式可用来泛指一个动作,没有特别的时间意义。

Swimming is her favorite sport.游泳是她最喜欢的体育运动。

Learning is important to modern life.学习对现代生活很重要。

2.动词-ing形式的一般式可用来表示和谓语动词同时发生的动作。

They went out of the classroom, talking and laughing.他们有说有笑地走出教室。

She listened carefully to her neighbours speaking.她倾听她邻居的讲话。

3.动词-ing形式的一般式有时也可表示在谓语动词的动作之前或之后发生的动作。

I remembered sending him an e-mail last week. 我记得上星期给他发过一份电子邮件。

He suggested taking my daughter to the zoo the next Sunday.他建议下个星期天带我女儿去动物园。

B.动词-ing形式的完成式

动词的-ing形式的完成式表示一个已完成的动作,这个动作发生或完成在谓语动词表示的动作之前。

Having lived in this city for three years, she knows it very well.在这个城市生活了3年,她对这里已很熟悉。

I really regretted having missed such an exciting lecture.错过了这么振奋人心的演讲,我真的很遗憾。

注意:

在现代英语中,作宾语的-ing形式的完成式可用一般式来代替。

I really regretted missing such an exciting lecture.错过了这么振奋人心的演讲,我真的很遗憾。(=I really regretted having missed such an exciting lecture.)

We remembered seeing the film.我们记得看过这部电影。(=We remembered having seen the film. )

C.动词-ing形式的被动形式

动词的-ing形式的被动形式表示它的逻辑主语是-ing形式表示的动作的承受者。

1.一般式的被动形式

The question being discussed is very important. 正在讨论的问题很重要。

I can't stand being kept waiting. 我不堪久候。

2.完成式的被动形式

I heard of his having been chosen to be the coach of the team.我听说他被选为球队的教练。

Having been shown the lab, we were taken to see the school library.在被带去看了实验室之后,我们又被带去参观校图书馆。

D.动词-ing形式的否定形式

动词的-ing形式的否定形式是由not加动词的-ing形式构成。

His not coming made everyone present very disappointed. 他没来使在场的每个人都很失望。

I'm sorry for not being present at the meeting in time.我很抱歉没能按时赴会。

Collecting stamps is interesting.集邮很有趣。

Learning about a language is easier than using it.学习有关语言的知识比使用语言容易。

Being invited to the party was a great honor to the family.被邀请参加晚会是这家人的荣耀。

2.为了保持句子平衡,通常用先行词it作形式主语,而把真正的主语放在句末。

It is easy making plans, but it is difficult carrying them.制定计划很容易,实行它却很难。

It is no use crying over spilt milk. 作无益的后悔是没有用的。

It's a waste of time arguing about it. 争论这事是浪费时间。

B.动词的-ing形式作表语

动词的-ing形式作表语的有两种不同的含义:

1.表示主语的内容是什么。

The food at the dinner party did not seem very inviting. 宴会上的食物似乎并不诱人。

比较:

一般说来,动词的-ing形式表示一般性、习惯性的动作,或抽象性的动作,时间概念不强。而动词不定式表示的动作往往是具体的或一次性的动作,特别是将来的动作。

1.作动词的宾语

能用-ing形式作宾语的及物动词可分两类,一类是只能用-ing形式作宾语,另一类是既可用-ing形式作宾语,也可用不定式作宾语。

②既可用动词-ing形式作宾语,也可用不定式作宾语

a.有些动词,如attempt, continue, hate, intend, like, love, prefer等,后面接动词的-ing形式或不定式区别不是很大。

They prefer spending to spend their summer vacation in Dalian.他们更喜欢在大连度暑假。

动词的-ing形式作介词宾语大都和一些固定搭配有关。常见的几种搭配形式有:

①动词+介词+ -ing形式

比较:

⑥介词to +动词-ing形式

to既可以是介词,也可以是不定式符号,在使用中比较容易混淆。若是不定式符号,to后接动词原形;若是介词,to后需接-ing形式。

2.动词的-ing形式和不定式作宾语补语的区别

在see, hear, feel, watch, notice等感官动词后,既可用动词的-ing形式构成复合宾语,也可用不定式构成复合宾语,两者之间有一定的区别。用动词的-ing形式时,表示动作正在进行;用不定式时,表示动作发生了,即动作的全过程结束了。

【正】The temple which has been destroyed by the earthquake will be rebuilt soon.被地震毁坏的庙宇很快就要修建了。

间吗?F.动词的-ing形式作状语

动词的-ing形式可以作状语,修饰动词,在句中表示时间、原因、结果、条件、让步、行为方式或伴随情况等。-ing形式作时间、原因、条件、让步状语时多位于句首;作结果、伴随情况状语时常位于句末。

1.表示时间,相当于一个时间状语从句。

三、动词的-ing形式的逻辑主语

A.作主语的-ing形式

-ing形式作主语时,其逻辑主语对于谈话双方是不言而喻的。

Reading aloud is very helpful.朗读是很有好处的。(Reading aloud的逻辑主语是泛指任何人,因而无需表达出来)

提示:

如果作主语的-ing形式需要自己的逻辑主语时,一般用物主代词或名词所有格(即名词后加's)。

His father's falling ill worried him greatly.他父亲生病使他很着急。(his father是falling ill的逻辑主语)

Your coming to work with us will be a great encouragement to us.你来和我们一道工作,对我们是很大的鼓舞。(you是coming to work with us的逻辑主语)

B.作表语的-ing形式

-ing形式作表语时,其逻辑主语往往是句子中的主语,但作表语的-ing形式也可带有自己的逻辑主语。

What worries me most is Julia's staying too late every night.我担心的是她天天晚上熬夜熬得太迟。(staying too late every night的逻辑主语是Julia)

The main problem is your not having practiced a lot.主要的问题是你缺乏大量的练习。(not having practiced a lot的逻辑主语是you)

C.作定语的-ing形式

-ing形式作定语时,其逻辑主语就是它修饰的名词。

an interesting book一本有意思的书= a book that interests its readers

a running stream一条奔流的小溪= a stream that is running

如果-ing形式的逻辑主语是动作的承受者,就要用-ing形式的被动式。

The meeting being held in Beijing now is of great importance.正在北京召开的会议非常重要。(逻辑主语the meeting和“举行”之间的关系是被动的,所以用being held

D.作宾语的-ing形式

-ing形式作宾语时,其逻辑主语常是句子中的主语。如要明确动作的执行者,也可以在-ing形式前加上名词或代词表示逻辑主语。

I can't imagine John's giving a speech in front of so many people.我不能想像约翰会在这么多人前面发言。(John是giving a speech的逻辑主语)

He was awakened by someone knocking at the door. 他被某人的敲门声吵醒了。(someone是knocking at the door的逻辑主语)

The boss understood himhis wanting to leave.老板明白他为什么要离职。(“他”是wanting to leave逻辑主语)

比较:

He insisted on doing it himself.他坚持要自己做。(doing it的逻辑主语是句子的主语“他”)

He insisted on my doing it.他坚持要我做。(doing it的逻辑主语是“我”)

Would you mind opening the window请你把窗子打开好吗?(opening the window的逻辑主语是“你”)

Would you mind my opening the window你介意我把窗子打开吗?(opening the window的逻辑主语是“我”)

E.作宾语补足语的-ing形式

动词-ing形式作逻辑主语时,它的逻辑主语就是它前面的宾语。

We often hear her singing this song.我们经常听见她唱这首歌。(singing this song的逻辑主语是“她”)

We often hear this song (being) sung.我们经常听见这首歌被人唱。(逻辑主语“this song”和宾语补足语“唱”的关系是被动,所以用-ing形式的被动式或-ed分词。)

F.作状语的动词-ing形式

1.动词的-ing形式作状语时,其逻辑主语一般应与句子的主语保持一致。

Entering the classroom, I found nobody in it.走进教室,我发现里面没人。(entering的逻辑主语是I,相当于when I entered the classroom, I found nobody in it.)

如-ing形式表示的动作不是句中主语发出或承受的,那就是误用。这种无依着的-ing形式,语法上称之为“垂悬分词”。

【误】Looking out through the window, the garden was beautiful.(looking out through the window的逻辑主语是the garden,显然不对)

【正】Looking out through the window, we saw a beautiful garden.从窗户看出去,我们看见一个漂亮的花园。

【误】Reading the evening newspaper, a dog started barking.(逻辑主语是dog,它不会看晚报)

【正】I was reading the evening newspaper when a dog started barking.我看着晚报的时候,一只狗开始叫起来。

2.如不能和句子中的主语保持一致,该-ing形式必须有自己的逻辑主语,通常有名词或代词来担任。

The last bus having gone, we had to walk home.末班车已经开走了,我们不得不走回家。(having gone的逻辑主语是the last bus,而不是we)

Time permitting, the football match will be played on Friday.天气允许的话,足球赛将在周五举行。(permitting的逻辑主语是time,而不是the football match)

注意:

高中阶段有一些固定的-ing形式短语,如generally speaking, judging from..., considering..., talking of..., supposing...等,它们的逻辑主语可以和句子的主语不一致。这种-ing短语可当作一个插入语。

Generally speaking, boys are more interested in science than girls. 一般说来,男孩比女孩对科学更感兴趣。

Judging from his accent, he must come from Canada.从他的口音看,他一定来自加拿大。

Considering how poor he was, we decided to let him attend the concert for free.考虑到他是多么的穷,我们决定让他免费听音乐会。

Supposing it rains what will you do假使下雨,你会怎么办呢?


过去分词

第7章 动词的过去分词形式

动词的-ed形式也是非谓语动词的一种,它具有动词的一些特点,同时也具有形容词、副词的句法功能,在句中可用作表语、定语、状语和宾语补足语等。

一、动词的-ed形式的特征

A.动词的-ed形式是由动词的过去分词构成

动词的-ed形式只有一种形式,即传统语法中的过去分词。绝大部分的动词的-ed形式由动词原形加-ed构成,也有一些动词的-ed形式是不规则的。

1. 规则动词的-ed形式

limit→limited(限制)

pretend→pretended(假装)

escape→escaped(逃脱)

provide→provided(提供)

refer→referred(提交)

drag→dragged(拖)

pray→prayed(祈祷)

supply→supplied(供应)

2.不规则动词的-ed形式

cast→cast(投掷)

spread→spread(传播)

bite→bitten(咬)

forgive→forgiven(原谅)

spit→spat( 吐)

wear→worn(穿)

fight→fought(搏斗)

lose→lost(丢失)

3.少数动词的-ed形式作定语时,读音与一般过去分词不同

learned a learned professor 一位知识渊博的教授

aged an aged man 老人

beloved his beloved computer 他心爱的计算机

B.动词的-ed形式的否定形式

动词的-ed形式的否定形式是由not或never加动词的-ed形式构成。

Not allowed to go in, he had to wait outside. 不允许他进去,他只好在外面等着。

Never invited to his party, she got angry with him. 从未被邀请过去他的聚会,她很生气。

C.动词的-ed形式的特征

动词的-ed形式有被动的意思,有时也可表示完成的动作。

1.动词的-ed形式表示已完成的动作。

除了作形容词用的-ed形式外,动词的-ed形式可带有完成的意义,有的同时也带有被动的意义。

Born and brought up in the countryside, he was interested in biology. 由于在农村出生并长大,他对生物很感兴趣。

One of the glasses was found broken. 有人发现其中一个杯子破了。

The books, written by Lu Xun, are popular with many Chinese people. 鲁迅写的这些书,受到了许多中国人的喜爱。

2.及物动词的-ed形式一般表示被动的意思。

Given more time, I could have solved that riddle. 要是有充足的时间,我就能猜出那个谜语。(句子的主语I 和动词give之间是被动关系。)

When you speak English, be sure to make yourself understood. 你说英语的时候,一定要让人懂得你的意思。(动词make的宾语yourself和宾语补足语understand之间是被动关系。)

The experience gained in the army was of great value to our study. 在军队获得的经验对我们的学习很有帮助。

3.不及物动词的-ed形式只表示完成的意思,并不带有被动的含义。

an escaped prisoner 逃犯 (= a prisoner who has escaped)

a retired worker 退休工人 (= a worker who has retired)

a newly arrived guest 新来的客人 (= a guest who has just arrived)

We should bring in advanced technology from developed countries from time to time.我们应该不时地从发达国家引进先进技术。

People should pay attention to the changed situation. 人们应该注意到变化了的形势。

二、动词的-ed形式的用法

动词的-ed形式在句中主要起形容词和副词的作用,可以作定语、表语、状语和补语。

A.动词的-ed形式作表语

1.-ed形式在连系动词后作表语,说明主语的状态。

The students are fully prepared. 学生们已做好了充分的准备。

When we got there, the shop was closed. 我们到那儿时,商店已经关门了。

She felt satisfied with her performance on the high-and-low bars. 她对自己在高低杠上的表现感到很满意。

The land remained unexploited. 这片土地尚未开发。

Hearing the news, he looked disappointed. 听到这个消息,他看起来非常失望。

The top of the mountain is covered with snow all through the year. 山顶上终年积雪覆盖。

比较:

要把-ed形式作表语和被动语态区别开来。作表语的-ed形式表示状态,被动语态中的-ed形式表示被动动作。

All the doors are locked. 所有的门都是锁着的。(-ed形式作表语,表示状态)

All the doors were locked by the guard. 所有的门都被卫兵锁上了。(被动语态,表示动作)

Peter the Great is buried here. 彼得大帝就埋葬在这里。(-ed形式作表语,表示状态

Peter the Great was buried here in 1725. 彼得大帝于1725年被埋葬在这里。(被动语态,表示动作)

2.同一动词的-ed形式与-ing形式作表语时的区别。

动词的-ed形式作表语,主要表示主语的心理感觉或所处的状态,含有被动的意思,而-ing形式作 表语多表示主语具有的特征,含有主动的意思。

They were frightened to hear the frightening sound. 他们听到那可怕的声音很害怕。

At the sight of the moving scene, all the people present were moved. 看到这么动人的情景,所有在场的人都感动了。

提示:

上述动词的-ed形式,有的(如pleased, tired, excited, disappointed等)已经变成形容词,可以被very, too等副词修饰。有的(如amused, puzzled, relaxed等)还不能被very, too修饰,只能被much修饰。

These problems are very puzzling. 这些问题很令人迷惑。

We are much puzzled by his failure to reply. 他不给我们回信使我们百思不得其解。

His speech was very moving. 他的演讲非常感人。

All the people present were moved to tears. 在场的所有人都被感动得流泪了。

B.动词的-ed形式作宾语补足语

当作宾语补足语的动词和前面的宾语之间是被动关系时,一般应用动词的-ed形式作宾语的补足语。

1.在感觉动词see, hear, feel, notice, watch, find后作宾语补足语。

2.在使役动词get, have, make, leave, keep等后作宾语补足语。

I'll just get these dishes washed and then I'll come. 我得先把盘子洗了,然后就来。

【正】Can you make the students understand the text 你能让学生理解这篇课文吗?
