考研語法詳解:動名詞

  摘要:考研英語語法是將詞匯與文章大意搭連在一起的一座橋梁,掌握了語法,就相當于打通了英語學習的任督二脈。幫幫為各位考研er整理了考研英語語法中關于動名詞的知識,希望大家能有有所裨益。

  動名詞是一種非謂語動詞,它的形式與現(xiàn)在分詞相同,具有名詞和動詞的某些特征,它可以帶賓語、狀語等構成動名詞短語,在句中不能單獨做謂語。

  ?動名詞的時態(tài)(Tense)

  以動詞do為例:

  主動、被動 一般式 doing being done 完成式 having done having been done 從上述可以看出,動名詞和現(xiàn)在分詞的時態(tài)完全相同,而非謂語動詞之間的區(qū)別主要是用法上的區(qū)別。動名詞和現(xiàn)在分詞形式相同,用法卻大相徑庭,動名詞一般式表示的動作通常與謂語動詞的動作幾乎同時發(fā)生,而動名詞的完成式則表示動作在謂語動詞的動作之前已發(fā)生。

  例句: Mr. Jankin regretted blaming his secretary for the mistake, for he later discovered it was his own fault.(regretted與blaming所表示動作幾乎同時發(fā)生)

  分析: 該句是復合句。動名詞blaming在句中作賓語,it was his own fault是discovered的賓語從句。

  譯文: 堅金先生后悔責怪秘書了,因為他后來發(fā)現(xiàn)是自己的過錯。

  例句: ——Did you find out who had stolen my watch?

  ——That child didn't admit having done that.(having done所表示動作在動詞admit 前已經(jīng)發(fā)生)

  分析: 前一分句是一復合句,who had stolen my watch作find out的賓語,后一分句是一簡單句。

  譯文: ——你查出是誰把我的手表盜走了嗎?

  ——那個孩子不承認是他干的。

  例句: I appreciated having been given the opportunity to study abroad two years ago.(having been given所表示動作在謂語動詞appreciated之前已發(fā)生)

  分析: 該句是簡單句。

  譯文: 我很感謝兩年前給我出國進修的機會。

  ?動名詞的用法(Usage)

  (一)充當主語

  例句: Knowing what you're good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.

  (選自2009年Text 1)

  分析: 該句是復合句,其中主語中what you're good at作knowing的賓語。

  譯文: 假如你了解自己在哪方面擅長并且更多地去實踐就能創(chuàng)造輝煌。

  例句: Doing your homework is a sure way to improve your test scores, and this is especially true when it comes to classroom tests. (1998年第6題)

  分析: 該句是復合句。when引導一時間狀語從句。

  譯文: 做作業(yè)是提高你考試成績的有效之策;對于隨堂測試,該方法尤為可靠。

  (二)充當表語

  例句: We should always keep in mind that our work is serving the people.

  分析: 該句是復合句,其中that our work is serving the people在句中作keep的賓語,短語keep sth. in mind意為“牢記……”。

  譯文: 我們應切實牢記我們的工作是為人民服務。

  例句: Reading is learning, but applying is also learning and the more important kind of learning at that.

  分析: 該句是并列句。

  譯文: 讀書是學習,但使用也是學習,而且是更重要的學習。

  (三)充當賓語

  例句: Discussions at home can help kids practice doing these things and help them apply these skills to everyday life situations. (選自2007年Part B)

  分析: 該句是簡單句。help kids practice...與help them apply...是兩并列謂語。

  譯文: 在家中的討論可以幫助孩子練習這些事情,也可以幫助他們把這些技能應用到現(xiàn)實的生活中去。

  例句: In dealing with a challenge on such a scale, it is no exaggeration to say “United we stand, divided we fall”.(2005年第50題)

  分析: 該句是簡單句。其中it是形式主語,真正的主語是to say “United we stand, divided we fall”。

  譯文: 在應對如此大規(guī)模的挑戰(zhàn)時,我們可以毫不夸張地說:“聯(lián)合,我們就生存;分裂,我們就滅亡”。

  (四)充當定語

  例句: In the past, he was the only person in the village that could drive walking tractor, which made most of the villagers jealous.

  分析: 該句是復合句。that could drive walking tractor是修飾the only person的定語從句,非限制性定語從句which made most of the villagers jealous修飾的是前面整個句子。

  譯文: 他過去是村里唯一會開拖拉機的人,這令大多數(shù)村民羨慕不已。

  例句: The workers are busy building a listening room, which will have been finished by the end of this semester.

  分析: 該句是復合句。非限制性定語從句which will have been finished by the end of this semester修飾a listening room。

  譯文: 工人們正在修建的語音室將在本學期末竣工。

  ?動名詞的邏輯主語

  動名詞的邏輯主語,表明動名詞動作的發(fā)出者。能作動名詞邏輯主語的詞類有:物主代詞、名詞所有格(即名詞所加“’s”,復數(shù)名詞后以“s”結尾的,在其后加“’”)、名詞通格(主格)或人稱代詞賓格。

  例句: Nowhere in nature is aluminum found free, owing to its always being combined with other elements,most commonly with oxygen. (1997年第2題)

  分析: 該句是簡單句。nowhere置于句首引起倒裝,owing to...在句中作狀語。

  譯文: 自然界中的任何地方都找不到游離態(tài)的鋁,因為它總是與其他元素,即最常見的是氧元素結合在一起。

  注意:

  (1) 當邏輯主語是無生命名詞或較長名詞詞組時,通常用名詞通格(即主格)。

  例句: Anyone with half an eye on the unemployment figures knew that the assertion about economic recovery being just around the corner was untrue.(1999年第1題)

  分析: 該句是復合句。其中動名詞的復合結構economic recovery being just around the corner在句中作介詞about的賓語,economic recovery作動名詞being的邏輯主語,介詞短語with half an eye on the unemployment figures作定語修飾anyone。

  譯文: 任何人只要一看這些失業(yè)數(shù)據(jù)便知關于經(jīng)濟復蘇即將來臨的言論是不正確的。

  例句: I don’t like Jack and Tom speaking ill of each other in public places.

  分析: 該句是簡單句。Jack and Tom作speaking ill的邏輯主語。

  譯文: 我不愿聽到杰克和湯姆在公眾場合說彼此壞話。

  (2) 當邏輯主語是someone, somebody, none, nobody, anyone, anybody等不定代詞或this,that指示代詞時,通常用名詞通格(即主格)。

  例句: Just when I was going to sleep, I was awakened by somebody knocking on the door.

  分析: 該句是復合句。somebody作動名詞knocking的邏輯主語。

  譯文: 我正要入睡時,有人敲門吵醒了我。

  例句: I disapproved of that being said about the teacher, for he has his own good point.

  分析: 該句是并列句。指示代詞that作動名詞being said的邏輯主語。

  譯文: 我不同意對老師那樣的評價,因為他也有他的優(yōu)點。

  (3) 當動名詞在句中作主語時,邏輯主語用屬格(即物主代詞或名詞所有格)。

  例句: The student’s knowing French well helped him a lot in learning English.

  譯文: 掌握法語對于學習英語有很大的幫助。

  ?動名詞的否定形式

  動名詞的否定形式與分詞否定形式一樣,由動名詞前加not構成。

  例句: She always has dozens of excellent excuses for not being able to help you.

  分析: 該句是簡單句。not being able to help you是動名詞的否定形式。

  譯文: 對于未能幫助你,她總是有太多借口。

  例句: She is considering not asking her mother to send her to the airport.

  分析: 該句是簡單句。not asking...作considering的賓語。

  譯文: 她正在考慮不讓母親送她去機場。

  ?常接動名詞作賓語的動詞及動詞短語

  例句: Some bosses dislike allowing people to share their responsibilities; they keep all important matters tightly in their own hands. (1996年第13題)

  分析: 該句是并列句。其中短語keep sth. in hand意為“把……控制在手中”。

  譯文: 有些老板不喜歡讓別人分擔其職責,他們嚴格控制著所有的重要事務。

  例句: When I consider how talented he is as a painter,I cannot help believing that the public will appreciate his gift.

  譯文: 當我考慮到他作為一個畫家所具有的杰出才能時,我禁不住相信公眾也會贊賞他的天賦。

  ?動詞need等后接的動名詞

  動詞need, want, require, deserve, worth, like(想要), bear后接動名詞主動式表示被動概念,除bear外,這些動詞也可接不定式的被動式。

  譯文: 看到凱特和吉尼亞,我們都忍不住大聲叫了起來。

  例句: Since our chief business with them is to enable them to share in a common life, we cannot help considering whether or not we are forming the powers which will secure this ability. (2009年第49題)

  分析: 該句是復合句。其中句子主干是we cannot help considering...。whether or not...this ability作considering的賓語,since引導一個原因狀語從句,可譯為“既然”,which will secure this ability是一個修飾the powers的定語從句。
