/ our not helping at all. I don’t mind Jane buying another one. 注 ② :如果動(dòng)名詞的邏輯主語(yǔ)是表示無(wú)生命的東西的名詞 , 或不定代詞 , 就只能用普通格 , 不能用所有格 , 如: Is there any hope of your team winning the match? The boy was alarmed by someone knocking at the door. 動(dòng)名詞的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)有下列用法: ① 作主語(yǔ): Their ing to help was a great encouragement to us. Nothing is worse than our bowing before difficulties. Lao Li’s (not: Li)going won’t be of much help. ② 作表語(yǔ): Our sole worry is your relying too much on yourself. What’s troubling them is their not having enough machine tools. ③ 作賓語(yǔ): Do you mind my reading your paper? Please excuse my interrupting you. ④ 作介詞賓語(yǔ): They insisted on my staying there for supper. Do you think there will be any chance of my seeing him again? 四、動(dòng)名詞的完成形式與被動(dòng)形式 動(dòng)名詞的一般形式通常表示一般性動(dòng)作 ( 即不是明確地在過(guò)去 、現(xiàn)在或?qū)?lái)發(fā)生的動(dòng)作 ) 或是與謂語(yǔ)所表示的動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生的動(dòng)作 ,如: They are all interested in climbing mountains. He took a great delight in helping others. ① 如果要表示動(dòng)名詞代表的動(dòng)作在謂語(yǔ)所表示的動(dòng)作之前發(fā)生 ,通常用動(dòng)名詞的完成形式 , 如: He didn’t mention having met me. I regret not having taken her advice. I don’t remember having ever promised you that. 注: 在某些動(dòng)詞之后 ( 或在成語(yǔ)中 ) 常用 ( 或可以用 ) 動(dòng)名詞的一般形式表示在謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)作之前發(fā)生的動(dòng)作 , 如: Excuse me for ing late. I don’t remember ever seeing him anywhere. ② 當(dāng)一個(gè)動(dòng)名詞邏輯上的主語(yǔ)所表示的是這動(dòng)作的承受者時(shí) , 這個(gè)動(dòng)名詞一般要用被動(dòng)形式 , 如: This question is far from being settled. He did it without being asked. They insisted on their being treated as ordinary workers. He didn’t mind being left at home. They couldn’t stand being treated like that. 注: 如果表示的動(dòng)作在謂語(yǔ)表示的動(dòng)作之前發(fā)生 , 有時(shí)需要用動(dòng)名詞的完成被動(dòng)形式 , 如: I don’t remember having ever been given a chance to try this method.
