A 如果动词或动词+介词后面直接跟动名词,则动名词所表示的动作应是由动词的主语所做出的:
Tom insisted on reading the letter.
汤姆坚持要看信。(汤姆看了信。)
如果把所有格形容词或代词置于动名词之前,则动名词所表示的动作应是由所有格形容词或代词所表明的人做出的:
He insisted on my/me reading it.
他坚持要我读一读。(我不得不读。)
B 可以与上述两种结构中的任何一种连用的动词及短语有:
dislike propose understand
dread recollect approve/disapprove of
fancy remember insist on
involve resent its no good/use
like(否定) save object to
mean stop theresno point in
mind suggest whatsthe point of
例句如:
He disliked working late.
他不喜欢工作到很晚。
He disliked me/my working late.
他不喜欢我工作到很晚。
I object to paying twice for the same thing.
我不赞成为一件东西付两次钱。
I object to his/him making private calls on this phone.
我不赞成他为私事使用这部电话。
He resented being passed over for promotion.
他因提升时把他隔过去了而不满。
He resented my/me being promoted before him.
他对我早于他被提升感到不满。
C excuse, forgive, pardon和prevent后面不能直接跟动名词,而要跟所有格形容词/代词(宾格)+动名词或代词(宾格)+介词+动名词:
Forgive my/me ringing you up so early.
请原谅我这么早给你打电话。
Forgive me for ringing you up so early.
(译文同上。)
You cant prevent his/him spending his own money.
你不能阻止他花自己的钱。
You cant prevent him from spending his own money.(译文同上。)
在appreciate后面常常需要跟一个所有格形容词或动名词的被动形式:
I appreciate your giving me so much of your time.
真感激你为我花了这么多时间。
I appreciate being given this opportunity.
非常感谢给了我这个机会。
D 所有格形容词与宾格代词的比较
在正式英语中,动名词与所有格形容词连用;但在口语或不那么正式的英语中,常常使用代词而不用所有格形容词。因此学生在用法上可以有所选择,但以使用代词为佳。
当stop意指 prevent(防止)时,代词要比所有格形容词更为常用:
I cant stop him writing to the papers.
我无法阻止他给报纸写信。
E 名词与动名词连用
在非常正式的英语中,名词后面带动名词时,要用名词所有格形式:
I dont remember my mothers complaining about it.
我不记得我母亲为此抱怨过。
但更常见得多的用法是省略s:
I do not remember my mother complaining.
我不记得我母亲抱怨过。
