13. Do you bear being cruel to animals?
14. Can you commence working immediately after lunch?
15. Many people cannot endure being disturbed.
16. Hawkers begin working early in the morning.
在这些动词里,有些可以出现在另一个重要动词句型里:
主语+动词+不定式动词/不定式动词短语。例如
17. Jean likes singing./ Jean likes to sing.
18. I hate cheating./ I hate to cheat.
19. Jason began teaching early./ Jason began to teach early.
20. One must continue surging ahead./ One must continue to surge ahead.
21. Some people prefer walking to office. / Some people prefer to walk to office.
有少数几个动词,如bear, need, want也和动名词连用,但这里的动名词含被动意,和被动的不定式动词(the passive infinitive)同义。例如:
22. Davids 10-year-old car wants repairing./ Davids 10-year-old car wants to be repaired.
23. Most of the essays need correcting or polishing./ Most of the essays need to be corrected or polished.
24. Jasons idea is so convincing that it bears repeating./ Jasons idea is so convincing that it bears to be repeated.
总而言之,以动名词为宾语的动词句型颇有韵味,可以多用。唯一要留意的是,认定主体动词,以免错误的形式出现,如房地产代表下面这段通告中的to sell,便犯了动词形式之错,应改为selling:
