1. 動名詞概說

動名詞既具有動詞的性質，又具有名詞的性質，因此叫動名詞。（歸根結底動名詞的詞性是名詞。）

① 動名詞的動詞性質表現在，它可以組成動名詞短語，如：

My job is arranging the agenda for my boss.

我的工作是為老闆安排日程。

I finished the project in a month by working overtime.

我靠加班在一個月內做完了這個項目。

② 動名詞的名詞性質表現在，它可以在句中用作主語、賓語等，如：

Studying abroad can be a good experience.

留學是一種很好的經歷。(作主語)

I regret telling her the truth.

我後悔告訴她事實真相了。(作賓語)

2. 動名詞的形式和特徵

① 動名詞的主動形式：doing

② 動名詞的被動形式：being done

⑤ 動名詞的複合結構：形容詞性物主代詞/名詞所有格/名詞/賓格人稱代詞+動名詞

在動名詞複合結構中，物主代詞或名詞所有格是動名詞的邏輯主語，這種複合結構多用作主語或賓語，也可用作表語或介詞賓語。當動名詞短語作賓語，放在動詞或介詞後時，名詞所有格或物主代詞分別可用名詞普通格或人稱代詞賓格代替，如：

She suggested us forgiving him.

她建議我們原諒他。(作賓語)

His not knowing English brought him a lot of inconvenience．

他不懂英語，這給他帶來許多麻煩。(作主語)

Our only worry is George’s overestimating himself.

我們唯一擔心的就是喬治高估了他自己。(作表語)

I strongly object to your delivering the speech.

我強烈反對你發表講話。(作介詞賓語)

3. 動名詞的用法

① 動名詞作主語

Retelling stories is very useful．

複述故事是很有用的。

Her resigning surprises us．

她的辭職讓我們很驚訝。

在一些句子中，常用 it 作形式主語，將動名詞放在句子後面。此類句型有：

1) It is + no use/no good/no fun/a great pleasure/a waste of time等名詞+doing sth.

It is no good crying.

哭沒有好處。

It is no use fixing.

修也沒有用。

It is great fun traveling.

旅行很有趣。

It is a waste of time playing computer games.

玩電腦遊戲是浪費時間。

2) It is + useless+doing sth.

It is useless crying.

哭沒有用。

② 動名詞作表語

Seeing is believing.

百聞不如一見。

My idea is making a plan first.

我的想法是先做一個計劃出來。

③ 動名詞作賓語

動名詞既可作動詞賓語也可作介詞賓語，如：

I haven't finished reading today's newspaper．

我還沒讀完今天的報紙。(動名詞reading作動詞finish的賓語)

I'm afraid of going to the dentist．

我害怕去看牙醫。(動名詞going作介詞of的賓語)

④動名詞作定語

I would like to choose a house with a swimming pool.

我想選個帶游泳池的房子。

4. 動名詞與不定式的比較

① 動名詞可以作介詞的賓語，還可被名詞所有格(或物主代詞）修飾；不定式通常不作介詞賓語，更不能被名詞所有格(或物主代詞)修飾。

She is afraid of going to the dentist．(√)

She is afraid of to go to the dentist．(×)

她害怕去看牙醫。
