标题: despite being offered能不能省being直接加过去分词啊？

摘自PREP08
放下对despite的偏见：despite后面既可以跟n.+长修饰语，也可以跟现在分词。

本题. Very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane when he attempted his solo transatlantic flight, Charles Lindbergh refused to carry even a pound of mail, despite being offered $1,000 to do so.

prep1-183. Despite recent increases in sales and cash flow that have propelled automobile companies' common stocks to new highs, several industry analysts expect automakers, in order to conserve cash, to be more conservative than they have been in setting dividends.

OG11-92. Despite protests from some waste-disposal companies, state health officials have ordered that the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches be measured and the results published.

prep2- 209. (GWD-10-Q21) Despite the growing number of people who purchase plane tickets online, airline executives are convinced that, just as one-third of bank customers still prefer human tellers to automatic teller machines, many travelers will still use travel agents.

问题是能否去掉being?不然就会听起来像省略了is(was),表示现在进行的意味，召唤各位牛牛！~~

"despite后面既可以跟n.+长修饰语，也可以跟现在分词"

这句话没错，但我们进一步说，这里指的现在分词其实就是gerund，而gerund就是作为noun来用。

所以说白了，despite后面就是跟noun

那么，"despite being offered" 这里面 "being offered" is a gerund (specifically, a simple gerund)
所以就是despite+noun结构
不能去掉being。如果去掉being，就是"despite offered"，despite后面不能跟adj. (past participle)，只能跟noun

嗯嗯我明白，可是这样会不会引起“正在进行中”的歧义呢？despite是一个介词，后面应该是要加一个名词结构，谢谢！！

如果把 "being offered" 整个看成一个名词，那么就不会像你说的 “引起“正在进行中”的歧义”

因为名词是没有时态的.....动词才有时态

嗯你说的对，这是一个simple gerund不是动名词 ---说错了呀，是动名词不是现在分词

上面我说错了，我想说的是是一个动名词不是一个现在分词

作者: 米米时代007 时间: 2012-2-5 16:34
只有现在分词才有表达正在进行的含义
