第八章 動詞的非謂語形式 動名詞作賓語

　　1.動名詞可以跟在動詞后面作賓語：

　　Have you finished painting the windows?

　　窗子漆好了沒有?

　　Would you mind shutting the door?

　　勞駕把門關(guān)上好嗎?

　　He avoided talking about this.

　　他避免談這事。

　　She can't help laughing at the words.

　　聽了這話，情不自禁笑了起來。

　　I enjoyed working here.

　　我在這里工作很高興。

　　Our house needs painting.

　　我們的房子需要油漆。

　　能跟這種賓語的常見動詞有suggest, stop, admit, delay, practice, excuse, deny, remember, hate, like, finish, begin, start, mind, fancy, miss, prefer, continue, propose, regret, deserve, can’t help, leave off, put off等。

　　2.有些動詞可以用動名詞作賓語，也可用不定式作賓語，意思沒有太大差別：

　　Do you like playing chess?

　　你喜歡下棋嗎?

　　They began to talk about something else.

　　他們開始談別的事。

　　有時兩者意思上有些差別：

　　I remember seeing you somewhere.

　　記得在哪里見到過你。

　　Remember to post the letter.

　　記得把信發(fā)掉。

　　I regret not having accepted your advice.

　　我后悔沒聽你的勸告。

　　I regret to say I won't be able to join you.

　　我遺憾地說我不能和你們一道去。

　　3.在like，hate，prefer等詞后，表示一般傾向時多用動名詞，如指某次行動,用不定式時更多一些。

　　I like reading books of this kind.

　　我喜歡看這種書。

　　I'd like to read that book.

　　我想看那本書。

　　I prefer walking to cycling.

　　我情愿走路，不愿騎車。

　　I prefer to stay at home today.

　　今天我寧愿待在家里。

　　4.可用先行詞it作形式賓語，而把真正賓語移到句子后部去:

　　She found it useless arguing with him.

　　她發(fā)現(xiàn)和他爭論沒有用。

　　Do you consider it any good our going there?

　　你認(rèn)為我，們?nèi)ビ袔椭鷨?
