非谓语动词
导读
本讲旨在向同学们介绍非谓语动词的三种基本形式即动名词,不定式,分词;以及它们各自在句中的用途。需要提醒诸位的是应在理解的基础上背记一部分的知识点,例如某些动词后与动名词或是不定式的固定搭配等。
一、知识点拨
非谓语动词,顾名思义,即动词经过变形后(如加ing, ed 或to)不再作为句子的谓语部分,而是充当其他成分使用的语法现象,它们没有人称和数的变化,但仍保留动词的某些特征,如及物动词可有宾语,可带状语,甚至还有时态和语态的变化。非谓语动词分为三类:动名词,不定式和分词(现在分词和过去分词),下面就辅以例句逐一讲解。
(一)动名词
I. 概念及构成:动词加ing后作为名词来使用,则称之为动名词。
注意:动名词虽在句法中与名词作用类似,但意义仍有本质的区别。动名词更强调动作性,而名词则偏重物质性。如:home为房屋,具体实物;而housing则指安顿人居住这一动作或状态,故住房问题应译为:housing problems.
II. 句法功能: 象名词一样,动名词通常在句中充当主语,表语,宾语及定语的成分。
1. 动名词作主语表示抽象或习惯性的动作,谓语动词多用单数形式。如:
① Saying is easier than doing.
② Being poor is no disgrace.
如主语部分过长,则可用It来作形式主语,将动名词短语后移。例如:
① It’s terrible not being allowed to smoke at all.
② It’s rather tiring typing so many letters.
注意:(1)通常用动名词作真正主语的结构:It is no use/good doing sth
It is not any use/good doing sth
There is no doing sth
① It is no use waiting here.
② There is no accounting for tastes.
③ There is no hiding of evil but not to do it.
2. 动名词作表语置于系动词之后。例如:
① Denying this will be shutting one’s eyes to facts.
② Her job was keeping the hall as clean as possible.
3. 动名词作宾语有动词宾语同介词宾语之分。
动名词作动词宾语。词法与句法密切相关,应当记住在下列动词后多用动名词作宾语。建议同学利用近义词和反义词的关系成队记忆
admit/confess/deny, suggest/advise/propose, delay/postpone, excuse/pardon/forgive, permit/allow/forbid, avoid/escape, involve/include, appreciate, consider(考虑), imagine, practice, risk, resist, dislike, fancy, quit, mention 等。
① I appreciate her devoting herself to the cause of education.
② She was in low spirit and even considered going away.
同时需要记住的还有一些动词词组如:
feel like, give up, put off, can’t help(情不自禁), can’t stand/resist, be (well) worth doing 等。
动名词作介词宾语。介词后多加名词或相当于名词的动名词作宾语。 如:
① I think I can coax father into increasing my pocket money.
② He bribed the boss into taking him.
值得注意的是介词to与in。
to即接动词原形构成to do的不定式结构又可作介词表示方向性。同学们应当记住以下的to 均为介词,后接动名词doing.
be used/accustomed to, object to, devote…to, get down to, be reduced to, with a view to, what do you say to, look forward to, pay attention to.
in 则往往被省略,造成同学们对其后的doing无从分析成分。其实也是动名词作介词宾语的现象。
spend/waste time/money (in) doing sth 花时间/浪费时间/金钱做某事
have trouble/difficulty (in) doing sth 做某事有困难
There is no point (in) doing sth 做某事是无意义的
4. 动名词作定语。与名词作定语表修饰对象的用途一样,动名词也有此作用。如:
sleeping-bag dinning -car running-track washing line swimming pool
sleeping pill fishing rod flying suit cooling system hearing aid
III. 其他形式:根据表达的需要,动名词也可做各种变形。
动名词的时态与语态变化
主动式
被动式
一般式
完成式
一般式
完成式
doing
having done
being done
having been done
注意:否定式的not置于最前部。例如:
①They regret not having been able to inform you of the fact.
②He never talked to me about his having been in Paris.
③Nowadays being killed in traffic accidents is a common occurrence.
动名词所有格旨在说明动作的执行者是谁。 如:
① I approved of his taking part in the project.
② I am confident of his succeeding.
作宾语的动名词短语中,所有格’s可省略。 如:
?She didn’t mind Tom(’s)coming late.
(二)不定式
不定式的基本结构为to加动词原形,其用途比动名词更为复杂:既可充当句子的主干——主语,宾语等;又可起修饰作用,作定语、状语、补语。分类说明如下。
I. 句法功能
不定式作主语。与动名词一样,不定式也可作为句子的主语。 如:
① To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness one can get.
② To know everything is to know nothing.
( 2 ) 另外,在有些结构中仅用不定式做真正的主语,如:
It is easy/difficult/right/wrong/important/necessary/essential (for sb) to do sth
It is a(n) pleasure/pity/honor (for sb) to do sth
It takes/costs/requires + n. (for sb) to do sth
Nothing is more + adj. than to do sth
① It’s virtue to admit and overcome one’s own shortcomings.
② It takes two to make a quarrel.
* 加上for sb可说明不定式中动作的执行者。
注意:It is adj. for sb to do sth 与 It is adj. of sb to do sth 的内在结构区别。前者是不定式做真正的主语,即To do sth is adj. for sb. 如:
It would be wrong for people to marry for money.
而后者是不定式补充说明形容词,等同于sb is adj. to do sth. 故此句型中的形容词多为可修饰人的形容词,如:brave, careful, clever, considerate, cruel, 等。例如:
It’s silly of you to believe him.
= You are so silly to believe him.
2. 不定式作表语。置于系动词后补充说明主语。如:
The purpose of education is to develop a fine personality in children.
注意: ( 1 ) 在对梦想或对将来打算的描述中,多用不定式而非动名词做表语,如My hope/idea/proposal/plan/aim/intention is to …
( 2 ) 当seem/appear做系动词时也用不定式做表语。
( 3 ) be to do 的特殊含义You are to be rewarded. 你应受奖励。
The man is guilty and is to undergo ten month’s imprisonment. 这人有罪, 必须要服刑十个月。
( 4 ) 不定式做表语时,如主语部分出现了实义动词 “do”,则此时 “to”可省略。如:
All I did was (to) give her a little warning.
不定式作宾语,分动词宾语和介词宾语两种。
( 1 ) 不定式做动词宾语。以下列出的是常见的后跟不定式做宾语的动词:
afford, agree/refuse, intend/attempt/plan/choose/decide, wish/hope/expect, demand, offer, learn, manage, pretend, threaten 等。
① I can’t bear to look back.
② I prefer to call off the meeting on account of our director’s absence.
有时会带sb做间接宾语,如:tell/teach/show sb + wh- to do
I will show you how to start the machine.
当有宾补构成复合宾语,则多用it来做形式宾语,而真正的宾语即不定式后移。如: find/think/consider/feel/believe it + adj./n to do sth
I believe it best to leave the matter entirely to his decision.
② She regards it as of great importance for the Chinese to learn from other countries.
注意:前面已提到某些动词后只可跟动名词或不定式,取其一构成固定搭配。但另一些动词则是既可跟不定式又可跟动名词做宾语的。
意思接近:begin/start/continue; hate/like/love/prefer 等,后跟doing与to do意义差别不大。
意思不同: remember/forget, regret, mean, try, stop, go on 等,后跟doing和to do意思相去甚远。如mean doing---意味着,而mean to do则是“打算”。其余不再一一赘述。
形式不同:need/want/require/deserve表被动意时,或用动名词主动态doing或用不定式被动态to be done. 如:
The shoes need polishing.
= The shoes need to be polished. 鞋子要上光了。
( 2 )介词宾语。在介词but/except (除了)及besides (除了…还)之后的不定式常某某to, 条件是前半部分出现了实义动词do, 试比较:
① I have no choice but to fight to the end.
② I saw no alternative except to appeal to a higher court.
③ There is nothing to do but (to) stick it out to the end.
还有结构can’t but do, can’t help but do 也属做介词宾语的不定式省to的现象。
不定式做宾语补足语,补充说明宾语所做的动作。如:
What caused her to give up her studies?
( 1 ) 常跟不定式做宾补的动词有persuade/advise, permit/allow, force, ask sb to do sth 等
注意:hope与demand无此种用法。
( 2 ) 常跟不定式做宾补的动词词组有arrange for/wait for/rely on/depend on/count on/call on/appeal to sb to do sth
( 3 ) think/consider/suppose/imagine sb (to be) …
want/order/wish/like sth (to be ) done…
这两个结构中作宾补的不定式to be 常被省去。如例句所示:
He is considered (to be) a hero.
My boss wanted the job (to be) finished ahead of schedule.
( 4 ) 感官动词后作宾补的不定式通常某某to
see/watch/hear/notice sb do sth
注意:变为被动语态时,应将to复位。如:
She was seen to enter the building.
( 5 ) 部分使役动词后作宾补的不定式也不带to. 如:
make/let/have sb do sth
注意:变为被动语态时,将to复位,sb is made to do. 但let是例外,即使在被动态中也不加to, 如:
She was let go by the police at last.
5. 不定式作定语。放在所修饰的名词之后,相当于一定语从句。
(1)被修饰名词与不定式内动词构成主谓关系。如:
He is not a man to flinch before difficulties.
注意:被修饰的部分中含有the first/the last (序数词)/the best (最高级)/the only/the next, 则多用不定式作定语。如:
He would be the last to agree to the plan.
(2) 被修饰的名词与不定式内的动词构成动宾关系。如:
She looked for some interesting novel to read.
被修饰的名词与不定式内介词构成介宾关系。 如:
She can find no one to make friends with.
注意:此时的中心词是介词而非动词宾语,故介词不可漏。
He lent me a book to kill time. (×)
He lent me a book to kill time with. (√)
但如果被修饰的中心词是time, place, way则可将不定式中的介词略去。如:
Taking a plane is the fastest way to travel.
( 4 ) 被修饰的名词与不定式构成同位关系。如:
She fulfilled her promise to send him abroad.
如动词与不定式搭配,则其名词形式也多跟不定式作定语修饰,如choice, decision, wish, need, desire, ambition, failure, intention, plan, ability to do sth
6. 不定式作状语
(1)不定式作目的状语表示“为了”,等同于in order to或so as to. 如:
① He travels around the world to gather little-known facts about the disease.
② To save the child, he laid down his life.
( 2 ) 不定式作结果状语多用于如下结构中:too…to… (太…以至于不能…), so…as to, such…as to (如此…以至于),only to…, enough to….
① A few days later he came back only to find that the troops had left.
② He tried to harm other people, only to ruin himself.
③ Let’s hurry so as not to be late for the meeting.
不定式作评注性状语,置于句首,对整句话而非一个动作进行评注。
To be honest/frank, To be exact, To tell the truth, To begin with, To make the matter worse, To cut the long story short 等等
7. 不定式作形容词补足语,置于形容词之后,补充说明形容词。如:
① He is generous to lend us a large sum of money.
② He was stupid to make that silly remark.
如上文所提到过的,有时该句型可转化成It is adj. of sb to do
注意:(1)不定式补充说明形容词时,多用主动态表被动 内容过长,仅展示头部和尾部部分文字预览,全文请查看图片预览。 d shutting her eyes, she prayed to the goddess.
③ The hunter lay on his back, his teeth set, his right hand clenched on his breast.
此时分词的主语并非句子的主语,而是独立存在,如his teeth, his right hand 这种分词有独立主语的现象被称为“独立主格”。除去做方式状语外,也可做原因,条件等其他状语。 如:
① Advice failing, we have to use force.
② All being well, the project will be finished in five months.
注意:有些固定结构中,只用现在分词,就不必考虑动作与主语的主被动关系了。如:
Judging from/by…(据…判断),Generally/Strictly speaking (总的/严格来说),Considering (鉴于),Regarding (关于),Talking of/Speaking of (说起…)
