They are fond of walking in the rain.他們喜歡在雨中漫步。
We are thinking of morning to London. 我們正想搬到倫敦去住。
我們?cè)賮?lái)看一下使用其他介詞的情況:
He insisted on doing it without any help .他堅(jiān)持自己做這件事情。
Success depends on working hard. 成功源于刻苦。
You are very good /bad at dealing with people. 你很擅長(zhǎng)、不擅長(zhǎng)與人交際。
I’m sorry for being late.對(duì)不起我遲到了。
在固定短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞里有很多接的是-ing形式:
give up keep on look forward to put off
例如:
I have given up drinking tea and coffee. 我已經(jīng)戒掉茶和咖啡了。
Keep on reading till the end of the chapter. 一直讀到這章結(jié)束。
You mustn’t put off making a decision. 你必須現(xiàn)在做決定。
VERBS FOLLOWED BY AN INFINITIVE OR AN ‘-ING’ FORM 動(dòng)詞 + 不定式/-ing形式
我們有些詞后面接to 不定式還是-ing形式意思都不會(huì)改變。這些動(dòng)詞如下:
begin start continue attempt intend
我們可以使用這兩種形式來(lái)表現(xiàn)同樣內(nèi)容的句子:
I started to smoke when I was 16 and have continued to smoke ever since.
或者:
I started smoking when I was 16 and I have continued smoking ever since. 我16歲時(shí)開(kāi)始抽煙,從那以后就一直在抽。
‘MEAN’+AN INFINITIVE OR AN ‘-ING’ FORM mean +不定式/-ing形式
有的動(dòng)詞雖然可以接to 不定式也可以接-ing 形式,但是它們?cè)诓煌膱?chǎng)合下意思也不同。如動(dòng)詞mean,接to 不定式的時(shí)候表示“打算……做:
I mean to be rich when I am older. 我希望長(zhǎng)大后會(huì)很富有。
接-ing的時(shí)候表示“意味著……”:
Getting rich means working hard. 想要富有就意味著要努力工作。
‘LIKE’, ‘LOVE,’PREFER’, ‘HAVE’ + AN INFINITIVE OR AN ‘-ING’ FORM like, love, prefer, hate = 不定式/-ing 形式
動(dòng)詞like, love, prefer, hate 表示“想做什么”、“不想做什么”的時(shí)候后面接to 不定式:
Man Would you like to go to a classical concert tonight?
Woman No, I’d hate to go to a concert, but I’d love to hear some jazz.
Man Yes, I’d prefer to go to a jazz club, too.
使用這些動(dòng)詞來(lái)表示自己的好惡時(shí)既可以在后面接to不定式也可以在后面接-ing形式:
I like going to jazz clubs, but I hate going to concerts.
或者:
I like to go to jazz clubs, but I hate to go to concerts.
‘BE AFRAID + AN INFINITIVE OR AN ‘-ING’ FORM be afraid +不定式/-ing形式
be afraid 這個(gè)短語(yǔ)也是在其后面接to 不定式和接-ing 的時(shí)候意思有一些不同。
使用to不定式的時(shí)候,意思是“這樣做恐怕不行”:
I’m afraid to move.我不敢動(dòng)。
使用 of + -ing形式的時(shí)候,意思是“(與自己的意志相反)可能會(huì)變成這個(gè)樣子吧”,表達(dá)這種不安和恐懼感:
I’m afraid of falling。我害怕掉下來(lái)。
He ‘s afraid of losing her. 他害怕失去他。
但是,在使用自己的意志可以左右的動(dòng)詞的時(shí)候-ing 形式也幾乎和to 不定工的情況是一樣的:
I’m afraid of moving.我一直害怕搬家。
