第十单元:动名

2019-05-20  本文已影响0人  吃饱了i睡吧

我们在之前的课程中已经学到过“一句英语简单句有且只有一个谓语动词”的基本原则,也学到了to do这种“非谓语”形式。 今天我们在巩固to do形式的基础上,再新学一种“动名词”的处理方式。

喜欢做某事

自然推理1

从以下问答中寻找“喜欢做某事”的结构:

What does he like to do at weekends?

(weekend /,wi:k’end/ 周末) ① He likes to play football. ② He likes to drink afternoon tea. ③He likes to walk to the company.

隐藏答案

1. like和do都是动词,因此采用like to do的结构。 

2. like

为谓语动词,to do为非谓语。

自然推理2

从以下问答中寻找“喜欢做某事”的结构:

What does he like doing at weekends? ① He likes playing football. ② He likes drinking afternoon tea. ③He likes walking to the company.

隐藏答案

like doing的结构也能指喜欢“做某事”。

知识点

在like doing的结构中,doing术语上称为“动名词”。“动名词”顾名思义就是动词的名词化动名词保留了动词的意思,但词性上却变成了名词。 比如,例句中的playing, drinking和walking在意思上和其动词原型无异(踢球、喝茶、走路),但在语法上却成为了名词,使得like doing相当于like sth.,避免了一句简单句出现两个动词的尴尬。 

动名词与名词在意思上是不同的。我们之前课程学到过:

build → building 

paint → painting

这些词加了-ing后变成了名词(分别是“建筑物”和“油画”的意思)。 事实上,building 和painting也可以是“动名词”,保留其动词的含义(分别是“建造”和“画画”)。试比较:

He likes building walls. (wall /wɔ:l/ 墙)

He likes to build walls.

He likes this building.

此处为名词,“建筑”之意。

She likes painting.

She likes to paint.

She likes paintings.

此处为名词,“油画”之意。

to do / doing VS It

在to do和doing的结构中,由于to和-ing消磨了do原本的动词属性,因此它们有时也可以作为主语出现,意思与It is + to do的结构基本相同。

✔ Sometimes it is not easy to say no. (easy /’i:zi/ 简单的)

✔ To say no is not easysometimes.

✔ Saying no issometimesnot easy.

要注意的是,to do / doing作主语时是为了刻意突出主语,且必须保持简洁,否则会变得“头重脚轻”,违反英语使用习惯。再如:

✔It is my job to teach.

✔To teach is my job.

✔Teaching is my job.

to do VS doing

知识点1

It/Sb. is ...的结构中,绝大部分情况下都不用doing。

✔ It is my job to teach. ✘ It is my job teaching. ✔ It is sometimes difficult to say no.

(difficult /’difikəlt/ 困难的)

✘It is sometimes difficult saying no.

✔He is very sad to hear the terriblenews. (terrible /’terəbl/)

✘He is very sad hearing the terriblenews.

知识点2

to do的否定是not to do,而不是no to do;而doing的否定用not / no皆可。比如:

✔ No smoking! (smoke /sməuk/ 吸烟;烟)

✘No to smoke!

✘Not to smoke!

✔Teaching is for no teaching.

✔To teach is for not to teach.

✘To teach is for no to teach.

知识点3

由于表达习惯,一些动词决定了后面是跟to do还是doing。 

to do

和doing皆可,如:

like 

love

hate

只能doing,如:

enjoy 

dislike (

不喜欢) 

it is no use

,比如,It is no use talking to her.

只能to do,如:

use sth. to do sth.使用某物做某事 

take sth. to do sth.

取某物去做某事 

want to do sth.

想要做某事

知识点4

当词法上to do和doing能相互替换时,它们在意思上有一个很细微的差别(在一些语境中这个差异甚至可以忽略不计),那就是to do强调动作,有要去做某事之感;而doing只是一个名词,较为笼统,没有动作感。比如:

1. I like taking the metro to go to

work. (metro /metrəu/ 地铁) 

2. I like to take the metro to go to work.

第一句话只是在说喜欢地铁这个上班通勤方式;第二句话意思近似于我选择去坐地铁(而不是其它方式)上班。前者偏静态,后者偏动态。 

词法:take乘坐

试比较下列两种表示“乘坐”的表达:

take the metro to go to work

go to work by metro

从中可得出的结论是:

1. take

加的交通工具要注意a/the以及单复数的变化。

2. by

加的交通工具始终为原型再如:

take a plane

take two buses to go to school
