He was retained at the university as a faculty member(教职工)after graduation in 1985. He won two first prizes in Beijing’s first-ever university English and French singing contests in 1985.

带有逻辑主语的动名词叫做“动名词复合结构”, 其形式有如下两种: 1. 名词所有格/物主代词+动名词; 2. 名词通格/人称代词宾格+动名词。例如:
I insist on Mary’s/Mary going there.
我坚持要玛丽去那儿。
I had not heard of your being ill. 我没听说你病了。
In fact, I think it’s much nicer without him, if you don’t mind me saying so.
事实上, 我认为没有他更好, 如果你不介意我这样说的话。
在确定逻辑主语格的形式时须注意以下几点:
1. 动名词复合结构作主语时一般用名词所有格或物主代词。例如:
Nixon’s visiting China marked a new era in diplomatic relations between the U. S. and China.
尼克松访华标志着中美外交关系进入一个新的时代。
2. 在口语和非正式语中, 只要不是作主语, 动名词复合结构中的逻辑主语常采用名词通格或人称代词宾格。例如:
The doctor does not mind me/my eating a little meat occasionally. 大夫并不介意我偶尔吃一点肉。
3. 如果逻辑主语是一个短语或有修饰语, 一般用名词通格或人称代词宾格的形式。例如:
Do you remember Mary and her mother coming to see us last year? 你记得玛丽和她妈妈去年来看我们吗?
