1 有关分词句型
1)在表示感觉和心里状态的动词see,hear,feel,smell,listen(to),notice,observe,smell,watch这类表示感觉的动词之后常跟“宾语+现在分词”的复合结构,这种动词与分词之间的宾语可以是普通名词或专有名词(人各等),也可以是代词宾格(him,us等)。例如:
She smelt something burning and saw smoke rising.她闻到有东西在燃烧并看到有烟升起来了。
I watched them rehearsing the play.我看他们排演戏。
I could feel the wind blowing on my face.我能感觉到风在我脸上吹过。
2)表示“致使”等意义的动词,如:catch,find,leave,give,have,get,set后也可跟上述(1)的结构,有时也可跟过去分词结构。例如:
I caught them stealing my apples.我抓住他们偷我的苹果。
If she catches me reading her diary,she’ll be furious.如果她抓住我偷看她的日记,她会愤怒的。
We found him waiting to receive us.我们发现他正等着接待我们。
3)go +现在分词表示“从事…”之意,这时现在分词做主语补语。go之后所接现在分词均表示短暂而又愉快的户外活动。如:jogging慢跑,fishing钓鱼,dancing跳舞,skating溜冰,bowling打保龄球,shopping 购物,sightseeing游览,camping露营。
I’ll go camping tomorrow.我明天去露营。
I’ll go shopping.我去商店。
Would you like to go skating with me?你想和我去溜冰吗?
4)be busy + v-ing(现在分词)忙着做…
I am busy writing my thesis.我正忙着写论文。
His assistant is busy(in) correcting papers.他的助教忙于批阅考卷。
或者be busy with + n.忙着做某事。
He is busy with his work.他忙着工作。
5)What do you say to + ing分词?(……怎么样?)
What do you say to joining us for dinner?和我们一起进餐,你看怎么样?
2 有关动词不定式句型
下面这些词组是不定式的习惯用法,只能用不定式形式。
can not help but do, can not but do, cannot choose but do, can do nothing but do, have no choice/alternative to do
When I consider how talented he is as a painter, I cannot help but believe that the public will appreciate his gift.
3 there be的非谓语形式
there be非谓语形式可在句中作主语、宾语、状语和定语。(其中作宾语和状语在1991年和1994年测试过,定语见1996年题10。)
The students expected there to be more reviewing classes before the final exams.(作宾语如1991年题30)
1)作动词宾语时,通常用there to be结构,而不用there being。能这样用的及物动词为:expect,like,mean,intend,want,prefer,hate等,如:
We don’t want there to be any comrades lagging behind,我们不希望有任何同志掉队。
They hate there to be long queues everywhere.他们不愿意处处都要排长队。
We have no objection to there being a meeting here.我们并不反对在这里开会。
It isn’t enough for there to be a frost tonight,so I can leave Jim’s car out quite safely.(作状语)
2)作状语多用there being结构,但若置于介词之后,for用there to be整个介词短语作程度状语,其它多半用there being。
There being nobody else at hand, I had to do by myself.由于附近没有人,我只得独自干了。(原因状语)
It’s too early for there to be anybody up.太早了,还不会有人起床。(作程度状语)
There having been no rain for a long time,the ground was very dry.因为好长时间没下雨了,地面非常干燥。(原因状语)
3)作主语时两种结构都可以,但如是用for引导则要用there to be。
It is not uncommon for there to be problems of communication between old and young.老人与年青人之间存在着沟通问题是很常见的。
There being a kindergarten on campus is a great convenience to female teachers.幼儿园在校园内对女教师十分方便。
4)作定语。 There be结构作定语时,定语从句中谓语为there be,there之前的关系代词常常省略。如:
This is the fastest train (that) there is to Nanking.这是到南京的最快一班车。
I must make full use of the time there is left to me and do as much as I can for the people.我要充分利用我剩下的岁月尽量为人民多做些事。
