托福語(yǔ)法技巧:介詞后的動(dòng)名詞

字號(hào):

介詞后的動(dòng)詞必須用動(dòng)名詞形式:
    He left without paying his bill.
    他沒(méi)有付賬就走了。   I apologize for not writing before.
    我此前未能寫信,謹(jǐn)表歉意。
    She insisted on paying for herself.
    她堅(jiān)持要付她自己的那一份錢。
    Before signing the contract,read the small print.
    在簽署合約以前,請(qǐng)?jiān)斪x小號(hào)字印出的內(nèi)容。
    還請(qǐng)注意某些名詞+介詞+動(dòng)名詞結(jié)構(gòu):
    There′s no point in taking your car if you can′t park.
    如果那里不能停放車子的話,你開車去就沒(méi)多大意思了。
    What′s the point of taking your car if you can′t park?
    如果無(wú)處停放車子,你開車去還有什么意思呢?
    Is there any chance/likelihood of his changing his mind?
    他有可能改變主意嗎?  Have you any objection to changing your working hours?
    你反不反對(duì)改變你的工作時(shí)洌?
    I am in favour of giving everyone a day off.
    我贊同給大家放一天假。
    B 介詞后面必須帶動(dòng)詞的動(dòng)名詞形式,這一規(guī)則的例外是except和but(介詞)。在它們后面帶動(dòng)詞原形:
    I could do nothing except agree.
    我除了同意,沒(méi)有別的辦法。
    He did nothing but complain.
    他只是抱怨,什么也不做。來(lái)源:www.examda.com
    但是如果but用做連詞,即如果它引導(dǎo)從句,它的后面就可直接跟完整的不定式或動(dòng)名詞:
    Being idle sometimes is agreeable,but being idle all the time might become monotonous.
    有時(shí)清閑無(wú)事是令人愜意的,但總是閑呆著就可能變得單調(diào)乏味了。
    To be idle sometimes is agreeable,but to be idle all the time…(譯文同上。)
