八月JJ不停提到的BEING问题，我自己的一些想法，欢迎拍砖~

justsmile

明天就要二战了，无比紧张。看了语法JJ不停提到BEING，论坛里也有很多谈论，但是我个人都不太满意，说说自己的看法，希望各位大牛拍砖。

首先，这个应该是曼哈顿论坛上的，不记得是不是RON的了，先贴上

Being应该何时被省略

1，you're actually asking the wrong question; the questionyou should be asking is when you should eliminate "being".
the answer to that question is, ROUGHLY, that you should avoid"being" when expressing the IDENTITY or CHARACTERISTICS of someindividual or thing. this is because "being" is usuallyunnecessary in such cases; there are simpler modifiers (such as appositives)that, while absolutely impossible to use in spoken language, are better inwritten language.
if "being" expresses IDENTITY or CHARACTERISTICS, then kill it.
otherwise, evaluate it on the same merits as you would any other verb.,
2，in this case, "being" isn't a modifier; it's agerund (= NOUN type -ing form).
in fact, "being committed" is the subject of this sentence!

i.e., here "being heavily committed"
is like
Swimming is fun.
that's a complete sentence -- "swimming" is a noun (gerund). sinceit's a noun, it's not modifying anything.

in fact, i don't think you're EVER going to see "being X" as amodifier, because, in any such case, you could simply eliminate"being" to produce a more concise sentence.
i.e.,
Being tired from the party, I fell asleep in less than one minute -->not ok
Tired from the party, I fell asleep in less than one minute -->ok

综上，我总结出，being其实只有两种对的可能。第一是做动名词，第二就是表被动且表进行时的被动
首先第一种动名词，可以是being xxx作主语，或者是跟在介词后面，或者是固定搭配，比如avoid后面就要接名词词性的东西。
第二种表被动且进行时的被动，比如说with sth done和with sth being done在语法上都是对的，区别是什么呢，就是后者表示进行时。我自己分析了一下前人挑出来的being的正确句子，个人感觉比如句子整个是现在时的话，普遍都是需要being done的。

明天考试，还有很多没看完，所以不能进一步再思考这个问题了。希望我的想法对大家有一点点启示。

各位加油啊！！！！！！！！
