重点句型
动名词
动词+ing作名词时称为动名词,它仍有动词的属性,可以接宾语,动名词可以代替名词做主语和宾语或介词宾语。
1、动名词作主语
2、动名词作宾语
3、利用介词/副词+动名词可以把两个句子连成一个句子apologize for (not) doing sth. 为什么事情而道歉
I must apologize. I interrupted you.
I must apologize for interrupting you.
(for interrupting强调interrupt这个动词)
I must apologize for having interrupted you.
(for having interrupted强调interrupt这个动词先发生,强调时间 (having done))
以上两者为时间概念不同,意思相同
congratulate (sb.) on doing sth. 因……祝贺(某人)
动名词用表示完成时的having+过去分词结构往往强调动名词的动词发生在前面。
4、跟动名词的短语
be keen on doing sth.(热忠于……),
be fond of,be interested in,
enjoy doing sth.,
congratulations on doing sth. (祝贺……)
be afraid of
be up to=be capable of (capable adj.有能力的, 能干的, 有可能的, 可以...的)可以带动名词的介词有:before,after,without,instead of等
5、动名词的否定式是在它前面直接加not。
Exercises C(用括号中的词来连接下列句子, 如需要可对原句进行必要的改动)
She bought a pair of boots. (instead of) She did not get a pair of shoes.
4.(After) She heard the news. She fainted.
after+从句;after prep.+doing
6.(On) I saw the plane coming towards me. I dashed for cover
on (prep.)+doing 一……就……(两个动作必须是同一个人)as soon as 一……就……
the moment +从句 一……就……
以上两个主语不一定是同一个人
三、课文精讲
Fishing is my favourite sport.钓鱼是我特别喜爱的一项运动。
fishing动名词,可以作主语或宾语
★fish
① n. 鱼(不可数名词),鱼的种类(可数)
There are a lot of fishes(表示种类)in the sea.
② v. 钓鱼, 捕鱼
I often fish for hours without catching anything.我经常一钓数小时却一无所获.
for+时间 表示一段时间
for hours=for some hours 数小时
without catching anything作为状语而出现, 表示结果状语。
without是介词,后面一定要加宾语, 动名词catching作without的宾语,without 后面的动作是主语来做的。动名词也有动词的特性,可以有自己的宾语。
without通常表示“缺乏、没有”;当它位于动名词前时,表示“不曾、不”
I can’t repair the car without your help.
They tried to leave the restaurant without paying.
But this does not worry me.但我从不为此烦恼。
★worry
① v. 烦恼,担扰
worry sb. 某人为……烦恼,担扰(作动词一定要加人作宾语, 翻译时从后往前翻,宾语担心)
The house worried me. / My daughter worried me.
① adj. 担心be worried about ……为……担心
Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish.
他们往往鱼钓不到,却钓上来些旧靴子和垃圾。
instead of… 我原准备做……但是后来做了……(instead of 后面的词一定是没有做的, 可以放在主句后面)without强调没有做某件事, instead of强调这件事没做成而做成了另外一件事
副词instead“作为替代,反而”,单独使用时一般出现在句尾If you don’t want a holiday in England, why don’t you go to Australia instead
★这句话中的 catching 也是
动名词 , 它作介词 without 的宾语 , 动名词也有动词的特性 , 它可以有自己的宾语
I am even less lucky.我的运气甚至还不及他们。
less是little的比较级,意为“不及,不如,更少”
I spend less time on English than on French.
less+原形 A is less…than B A不如B
I never catch anything ― not even old boots.
我什么东西也未钓到过—就连旧靴子也没有。
never adv. 从不 决不 ;
even adv. 甚至 ;
not even 甚至连 ... 都没有 ; 破折号引出被强调部分 = don't even catch old boots.
After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag.我总是在河上呆上整整一上午,然后空着袋子回家。
spend+时间+在某地 在某地度过……时间
after+从句 在……之后
after+名词/动词的ing形式 ……之后(从句主语必须是主句的主语时两种形式可互换)
After I go to school, I learned a lot of knowledge. (用一般式表示一个事实, 不用 “went to” )
After going to school, I learned a lot of knowledge.
介词after的宾语的动名词having spent所表示的动作发生在谓语动词go之前,所以用完成形式。
with an empty bag注意连读
with sth. 有……的,持有……的,随身带着……(状语)Who’s the man with the beard
without sth. 没带……
I always go home without angthing. 什么都没带回家
'You must give up fishing!' my friends say. ‘It 's a waste of time.’
“你可别再钓鱼了!”我的朋友们说,“这是浪费时间。”
give up doing sth. = stop doing sth. 放弃做某事
★ a waste of time 这里的 of 表示动宾关系 , 即 time 是 waste 的逻辑宾语 ; it 指 fishing;
But they don't realize one important thing. I 'm not really interested in fishing.
然而他们没有认识到重要的一点,我并不是真的对钓鱼有兴趣,
realize v. 意识到 实现 ;

importantly adv. 重要地 ;
unimportant adj. 不重要的 交要的 ;

and 连接两个平行并列结构 sitting ... and doing...;
