-ing and to-infinitive as object (动名词和不定式作宾语)
一、动词 - ing 形式(动名词)作宾语
动词 - ing 形式(即 “动词 + ing”)作宾语时,通常表示已完成、习惯性或抽象的动作,常与特定动词、介词或固定结构搭配。
1. 只能接动名词作宾语的动词
这类动词后接宾语时,必须用 “动词 + ing” 形式,不能用不定式。常见动词包括:
表示 “喜好 / 厌恶”:enjoy(喜欢)、love(喜爱,强调习惯)、hate(讨厌,强调习惯)、prefer(宁愿)
例:She enjoys reading novels in her free time.(她喜欢在空闲时间读小说。)
-ing and to-infinitive as object (动名词和不定式作宾语)
表示 “避免 / 否认 / 完成”:avoid(避免)、deny(否认)、finish(完成)、complete(完成)
例:He avoided talking about his past.(他避免谈论自己的过去。)
表示 “建议 / 坚持 / 想象”:suggest(建议)、insist on(坚持)、imagine(想象)、mind(介意)
例:Would you mind opening the window (你介意开窗吗?)
其他高频动词:admit(承认)、appreciate(感激)、practise(练习)、risk(冒险)、miss(错过)
例:She admitted breaking the vase.(她承认打碎了花瓶。)
-ing and to-infinitive as object (动名词和不定式作宾语)
2. 介词后必须接动名词作宾语
所有介词(如 in, on, at, of, about, without 等)后接动词作宾语时,必须用动名词形式。
常见搭配:be good at(擅长)、succeed in(成功)、dream of(梦想)、think about(考虑)、look forward to(期待)
例:He is good at playing basketball.(他擅长打篮球。)
例:We are looking forward to meeting you.(我们期待见到你。)
介词短语后的动名词:instead of(代替)、by(通过)、without(没有)
例:She solved the problem by asking for help.(她通过求助解决了问题。)
-ing and to-infinitive as object (动名词和不定式作宾语)
3. 固定句型中用动名词作宾语
部分固定句型的宾语必须用动名词,常见结构:
It’s no use/good doing sth.(做某事没用 / 没好处)
例:It’s no use arguing with him.(和他争论没用。)
There’s no point (in) doing sth.(做某事没意义)
例:There’s no point complaining about the weather.(抱怨天气没意义。)
spend/waste time/money (in) doing sth.(花费 / 浪费时间 / 金钱做某事)
例:She spent two hours preparing for the exam.(她花了两小时准备考试。)
-ing and to-infinitive as object (动名词和不定式作宾语)
二、动词不定式(to do)作宾语
动词不定式(即 “to + 动词原形”)作宾语时,通常表示未完成、具体的、一次性的动作,或强调动作的目的、结果,常与特定动词搭配。
1. 只能接不定式作宾语的动词
这类动词后接宾语时,必须用 “to do” 形式,不能用动名词。常见动词包括:
①表示 “计划 / 希望 / 决定”:plan(计划)、hope(希望)、decide(决定)、expect(期待)
例:They plan to travel to Japan next year.(他们计划明年去日本旅行。)
-ing and to-infinitive as object (动名词和不定式作宾语)
②表示 “同意 / 承诺 / 拒绝”:agree(同意)、promise(承诺)、refuse(拒绝)、offer(主动提出)
例:He refused to help me.(他拒绝帮我。)
③表示 “努力 / 设法 / 假装”:try(努力)、manage(设法)、pretend(假装)
例:She managed to finish the work on time.(她设法按时完成了工作。)
④其他高频动词:afford(负担得起)、arrange(安排)、choose(选择)、fail(未能)、wish(希望)
例:We can’t afford to buy a new car.(我们买不起新车。)
-ing and to-infinitive as object (动名词和不定式作宾语)
2. “疑问词 + 不定式” 作宾语
常见疑问词(what, how, when, where, which)后接不定式(to do),可作宾语,表达 “如何做、何时做” 等含义。
例:She doesn’t know how to solve the problem.(她不知道如何解决这个问题。)
例:He asked me where to find the library.(他问我在哪里能找到图书馆。)
-ing and to-infinitive as object (动名词和不定式作宾语)
3. 用 “it” 作形式宾语,不定式作真正宾语
当不定式作宾语且其后有宾语补足语时,常用 “it” 作形式宾语,将不定式后置,结构为:主语 + 动词 + it + 宾补 + to do。
常见动词:find(发现)、think(认为)、feel(觉得)、make(使)、consider(认为)
例:I find it easy to learn English.(我发现学英语很容易。)(it 是形式宾语,to learn English 是真正宾语)
例:They thought it important to protect the environment.(他们认为保护环境很重要。)
-ing and to-infinitive as object (动名词和不定式作宾语)
三、既能接动名词也能接不定式作宾语,但含义不同的动词
部分动词后接 “doing” 和 “to do” 均可,但含义有明显区别,需重点区分:
动词 接 doing(动名词)的含义 接 to do(不定式)的含义 例句对比
remember 记得已做过的事(动作已完成) 记得要去做的事(动作未完成) I remember closing the door.(我记得关了门。)
I remember to close the door.(我记得要关门。)
forget 忘记已做过的事(动作已完成) 忘记要去做的事(动作未完成) She forgot meeting him before.(她忘了以前见过他。)
She forgot to meet him.(她忘了去见他。)
stop 停止正在做的事(停止本身动作) 停下来去做另一件事(目的是做新动作) He stopped smoking.(他戒烟了。)
He stopped to smoke.(他停下来抽烟。)
try 尝试做某事(试方法、过程) 努力去做某事(试图达成结果) Try opening the window.(试试开窗。)
Try to open the window.(努力把窗打开。)
regret 后悔做过某事(对已发生的事后悔) 遗憾要去做某事(对即将发生的事遗憾) I regret telling him the truth.(我后悔告诉他真相。)
I regret to tell you the bad news.(我遗憾地告诉你坏消息。)
-ing and to-infinitive as object (动名词和不定式作宾语)
四、两者含义的核心区别
时间维度:
动名词(doing):强调动作已完成、习惯性或抽象性(如爱好、经验)。
例:I like swimming.(我喜欢游泳。—— 爱好,习惯性动作)
不定式(to do):强调动作未完成、具体性或一次性(如某次具体行为)。
例:I like to swim today.(我今天想去游泳。—— 具体某次动作)
情感与语气:
动名词常表达 “客观事实或习惯”,不定式常表达 “主观意愿或目的”。
部分动词(如 love/hate)接 doing 表示 “长期习惯”,接 to do 表示 “某次具体喜好”。
