Learning objectives
一、动词不定式作表语
The important thing in life is to have a great aim, and the determination to attain it.人生重要的事是有一个伟大的目标，以及实现它的决心。
Her best wish is to put her new ideas into practice.她最大的愿望是将自己的新想法付诸实践。
What I would suggest is to start work at once.我建议马上开始工作。
1．用法
动词不定式作表语，可以说明主语的具体内容，还可以表示目的、结果、安排、命令、决定、劝告、意愿等，其主语通常为aim, duty, hope, idea, job, plan, problem, purpose, wish等名词，或是what引导的名词性从句。不定式作表语时，主语和表语有时可以交换位置，其意思不变。
2．省略to的情况
All we need to do is (to) live each day with passion.我们需要做的就是充满激情地过好每一天。
Don't worry. What you need to do is (to) have a good sleep. 别担心，你需要做的就是好好睡一觉。
动词不定式作表语时，一般情况下不定式符号to不能省略，但当主语部分含有从句且从句谓语部分有实义动词do的某种形式时，作表语的不定式符号to可保留也可省略。
二、动词-ing作表语
1．动名词(短语)作表语
作表语的动名词(短语)所体现的是名词的特性，用于对主语的内容进行解释说明，往往表示主语所具有的特征且主语和表语可以换位。
What I am tired of is waiting here alone. (＝Waiting here alone is what I am tired of.) 我讨厌独自在这里等待
My job is teaching you English. (＝Teaching you English is my job.) 我的工作是教你们英语。
2．现在分词(短语)作表语
The result of the accident is shocking. 这一事故的后果令人震惊。
The argument is very convincing. 这一论据很有说服力。
作表语的现在分词(短语)是形容词性的，表示主语的性质或特征，主语和表语不可换位。
三、动词不定式与动词-ing作表语的区别
动名词(短语)作表语表示一般性的动作；
动词不定式(短语)作表语表示一次具体的动作或将要发生的事。
His hobby is painting. 他的爱好是画画。 (一般性的动作)
Today what he wants to do is (to) paint. 今天他想要做的事是画画。(具体的动作)
His wish is to become an artist. 他的愿望是成为一名艺术家。(将要发生的事)
四、动词-ed作表语

The door remained locked. 门仍然锁着。
I'm very interested in your story. 我对你的故事很感兴趣。
2．特殊用法
He seemed quite delighted at the news. 听到这个消息他似乎很高兴。

某些表示情感、情绪的动词 ed，如：terrified, pleased, surprised, astonished, excited, moved, disappointed, shocked, interested, discouraged, amused, tired, frightened, inspired, satisfied, worried等作表语时，已具有形容词的性质，其主语通常是人。
3．动词-ed和被动语态区别
The glass is broken. 玻璃板碎了。（状态）
The glass was broken by him. 玻璃板被他打碎了。（动作）
动词 ed作表语表示的是一种状态或情况，
而被动语态表示的是一个动作，被动意味很强。
五、过去分词与现在分词作表语的区别
英语中有很多与感觉有关的及物动词，
其现在分词意为“令人……的”，多用来修饰物；
其动词 ed意为“感到…的”,多用来指人/人的声音或表情等
