A go on意指 continue(继续)时后边通常跟动名词。但当说话人虽继续谈论同一话题但转到另一个方面时,它通常与ex-plain,talk,tell等的不定式连用:
He began by showing us where the island was and went on to tell us aboutits climate.
他先给我们指出那个岛的位置,接着就讲起岛上的气候来。
比较以下两个句子:He went on talking about his accident(他接着谈他的意外事故)这个句子意指他一直在谈这一事故。但如说 He went on to talk about his accident(他接着就谈起了事故的事),则暗示他很可能先谈的是他自己或他的旅途情况,
但事故却是第一次讲到。
B stop意指 cease(停止)时后接动名词:
Stop talking.
不要说话了。
stop后也可以接宾语+ 动名词:
I cant stop him talking to the press.
我无法阻止他对报界发表谈话。
这里可以用所有格形容词,但这种情况不多。
stop意指halt(止步)时后可以接表示目的的不定式:
I stopped to ask the way.
我停下来问路。(我停下来以便问路。)
C try通常表示attempt(试图)时后面跟不定式:
They tried to put wire netting all round the garden.
他们想用铁丝网把花园全围起来。(他们试图这样做。)
这个句子并未告诉我们他们是否做成了。
try也可以表示make the experiment(试验),这时后面要跟动名词:
They tried putting wire netting all round the garden.
他们试着用铁丝网把花园全围了起来。
这个句子表示他们已用铁丝网把花园全围起来了,看看是否能解决问题(他们可能是在企图挡住野兔或狐狸)。我们知道他们已经完成了想做的事;我们所不知道的是这种动作是否达到预期效果,即是否挡住了狐狸。
D 主语+ used+ 不定式表示过去的习惯或例行活动:
I used to swim all the year round.
过去我曾经一年四季都游泳。(我一度整年都游泳。)(参见第162节。)
但主语+ be/become/get+used+to(介词)结构后面接名词、代词或动名词则意指 be/become/get accustomed(to)(已习惯于):
I am used to heat/to living in a hot climate.
我对炎热的气候已经习惯了。(我已经在炎热的气候中生活了一段时间,因此我不怕热。)
