前面有人问到动名词和动词不定式的区别,解释如下 (1)一般说来动名词所表示的动作在意义上是比较抽象的、一般的,时间概念不强,不是指某一次的动作;而动词不定式所表示的动作则往往是具体的一次行为。例如: 1)I like swimming, but I don’t like to swim today. 2) They prefer staying indoors when the weather is cold. 3) Would you prefer to stay at home this evening? (2)动词不定式的逻辑主语,常常是句子的主语或句中的某个词;而动名词的逻辑主语可能是句子主语或句中某个词,也可能是泛指一般人物,在句子里是找不着的。例如: 1)I hate to be sitting idle. (我不想闲坐着。)(指自己) 2)I hate saying nothing at a meeting but gossiping afterwards. (我不喜欢开会不说会后乱说。)(可能指自己,也可能泛指一般人) |
