1.Mrs. Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men. 安·斯特林夫⼈在穿过森林追赶两个男⼈时，她并没有考虑到所冒的风险。

(1)think of在这⾥表⽰“考虑”、“思考”。

Have you ever thought of settling down in this town?
你有没有考虑过在这个镇上定居?
(2)表⽰“冒……危险”可以⽤ take the risk(of doing…)。

语法 Grammar in use
动名词(2)
在第20课的语法中，我们学习了动名词的形式和⼀般作⽤，知道它可以代替名词作句⼦的主语、宾语、介词宾语等，也学习了它的否定式和完成式：
Washing the car made me tired.
擦洗汽车使我很累。

(主语)
I enjoy reading.
我喜爱读书。

(宾语)
Before leaving the office, he gave me a book.
他离开办公室之前给了我⼀本书。

(介词宾语)
(1)动名词还可以⽤于动词+介词之后：
We are looking forward to his coming.
我们盼望着他的到来。

(2)在start，begin， continue等后⾯，既可以⽤不定式⼜可以⽤动名词，区别不⼤：
I began to learn/ learning English two years ago.
我两年前开始学英语。

(3)在love，like，prefer等动词后⾯，⽤不定式和动名词意义有所区别。

带不定式时常表⽰特定的未来的事件(如正准备做某事或建议做某事)，带动名词形式时则表⽰⽬前正在进⾏中的活动或⼀般的⾏为。

在prefer…to…结构中则只能⽤动名词:
I'd like to watch TV.
我(现在)想看电视。

(特定)
I like watching TV.
我喜欢看电视。

(⼀般⾏为)
(4)在need，want之后，动名词形式具有被动的含义，相当于被动的不定式：
The windows need cleaning.
这些窗⼦该擦了。

(=need to be cleaned)
His shirt needs washing.
他的衬⾐该洗了。
