课文详注 Further notes on the text

1.Mrs. Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men.

语法 Grammar in use

动名词(2)

在第20课的语法中,我们学习了动名词的形式和一般作用,知道它可以代替名词作句子的主语、宾语、介词宾语等,也学习了它的否定式和完成式:
Washing the car made me tired.
擦洗汽车使我很累。(主语)

I enjoy reading.
我喜爱读书。(宾语)

Before leaving the office, he gave me a book.
他离开办公室之前给了我一本书。(介词宾语)

(1)动名词还可以用于动词 介词之后:
We are looking forward to his coming.
我们盼望着他的到来。

(2)在start, begin, continue等后面,既可以用不定式又可以用动名词,区别不大:
I began to learn/ learning English two years ago.
我两年前开始学英语。

(3)在love, like, prefer等动词后面,用不定式和动名词意义有所区别。带不定式时常表示特定的未来的事件(如正准备做某事或建议做某事),带动名词形式时则表示目前正在进行中的活动或一般的行为。在prefer…to…结构中则只能用动名词:
I prefer watching TV.
我喜欢看电视。(一般行为)

(4)在need, want之后,动名词形式具有被动的含义,相当于被动的不定式:
The windows need cleaning.
这些窗子该擦了。(=need to be cleaned)

His shirt needs washing.
他的衬衣该洗了。
