新编英语语法教程第21讲

第21讲-ING分词

本书所讲的-ing分词（-ING Participle）包括传统语法所指的“现在分词”（Present Participle）和“动名词”（Gerund）。本讲主要介绍-ing分词与动词的搭配关系。为了更好的说明问题，有必要以不定式的相应用法作比较说明。

21.1 -ing分词与动词的搭配关系

本书介绍“动词+-ing分词”以及“动词+宾语+介词+-ing分词”这两种搭配关系。

1）能带-ing分词而不能带不定式的动词

英语中有一些动词能带-ing分词结构而不能带不定式结构作宾语。这类动词常见的有admit，acknowledge，anticipate，advocate，appreciate，Avoid，can’t help，can’t stand，consider，contemplate，defer，delay，deny，detest，dislike，don’t mind，ensure，enjoy，escape，excuse，evade，facilitate，fancy，favour，finish，give up，imagine，include，keep（on），mind，miss，pardon，postpone，practise，put off，resent，report，risk，stop，suggest等。例如：

I can not resist bargaining.

Carlos just missed being caught.

Please pardon my disturbing you.

We appreciate your inviting us to your party.

I hope you did not contemplate coming with us on this trip.

She said she had always detested seeing a bullfight.

They denied giving any further information to help the police.

I hope that by posting the final xix pages now at mid-day I shall ensure your receiving them before the weekend proper.

关于-ing分词的逻辑主语（Logical Subject），有三种情况：一种情况是，在特定的语境中，-ing分词的逻辑主语对于谈话双方是不言而喻的，因而无需表示出来。例如：

Father suggested going by bus.

谁乘公共汽车去，有多少人去，去的人中是否包括父亲在内，这在特定的场合听话人是不会误解的。第二种情况是，-ing分词的逻辑主语已在句中其他地方出现，因而也无需表示出来。例如：.

Would you mind ringing me up tomorrow？

显然，这里-ing分词的逻辑主语就是主句的主语you。第三种情况是，-ing分词本身带有自己的主语，因而必须表示出来。这主要见于-ing分词的主语没有在句中其他地方出现过，如果不表现出来，往往回产生歧义。例如：

She insisted on me going.

在这一例中，going的主语是me，如果略去了me，那就成了“她坚持要去”，而不是“她坚持要我去”了。

-ing分词的逻辑主语既能采用名词通格和名词属格形式，也能采用代词宾格和物主限定词形式。例如：

John

I don’t mind John’s buying another one。

him

his

在口语中倾向于用名词通格和代词宾格。

以上所列acknowledge，admit，advocate，anticipate，appreciate，deny，fancy，imagine，suggest，report以及mean（entail），mention，propose，recall，recollect，understand等动词，既能直接带-ing

分词结构也能直接带that-分句。例如：

The watchman reported finding the door open。

The watchman reported that he had found the door open。

He anticipated getting much pleasure from the reading of that book。

He anticipated that he would get much pleasure from the reading of that book。

2）动词+宾语+介词+- ing分词

有一些动词不能直接带-ing分词，而必须在动词之后加宾语再加介词，着才能带-ing分词。在这里，常见的介词是into和from。例如“动词+宾语+into+-ing分词”：

He tricked her into marrying him by pretending that he was rich。

Don’t let his friendly words mislead you into trusting him。

I shamed him into returning the stolen money。

Her sudden question surprised him into betraying himself。

Bob talked us into walking home with him。

She trapped him into admitting that he like her。

能用于这类结构的动词还有beguile，blackmail，cajole，coerce，deceive，fool等。又例如“动词+宾语+from+-ing分词”：

Nothing would stop me from achieving my ambition.

There was nothing to prevent her from doing so.

What kept you from joining me ？

Don’t let me hinder you from going.

He could hardly restrain himself from shouting aloud.

A sailor saved him from drowning.

这类结构中的动词的基本含义是“使……不”。有时介词from也可略而不用。例如：

We must prevent the trouble（from）spreading.

The rain prevented me（from）coming.

I must stop you （from）destroying yourself.

We cant stop it（from）happening here.

以上是主动态而言。如果是被动态，则介词不可省略。例如可以说：

It can’t be stopped from happening here.

却不可以说：

It can’t be stopped happening here.

以此类推，下面例句中的斜体部分也可归入上述结构处理：

I do thank you most warmly for doing the job for us.

The Head has congratulated John on coming out top.

The police have accused Jim of exceeding the speed limit.

21.2 既能直接带不定式有能直接带-ing分词

有些动词既能直接带不定式有能直接带-ing分词作宾语，有的意义无甚区别，有的意义不同。以下分别介绍这两种情况。
