知识脉络
动词-ing形式
做表语和定语
语法精讲
动词-ing形式做表语和定语
动词-ing形式是非谓语的一种,在句子里面不能单独充当谓
语,但能充当其他的一些成分(定语、表语、补语、状语)。本
单元讨论动词-ing形式做表语和定语,下一单元讨论动词-ing
形式做状语和宾语补足语。
一、动词-ing形式做表语的用法
1.动词-ing形式做表语有时具有形容词的性质,说明主语的
性质、特征等。许多形容词化的动词-ing形式是由能够表示
人们某种感情或情绪的动词变化而来的。常见的有
moving,interesting,encouraging,exciting,inspiring,boring,sur
prising,puzzling,amusing,astonishing等。这类词有“令
人……的”的含义,常修饰物。
The argument is very convincing.这个论点很令人信服。
Your speech is very interesting and encouraging.
你的演讲很有趣而且很鼓舞人。
2.表示抽象性的或习惯性的动作,一般说明主语的内容。
Her job is keeping the lecture hall as clean as possible.
=Keeping the lecture hall as clean as possible is her job.
她的工作是尽量使报告厅保持干净。

记一记·长知识
to do和done也可做表语,但to do通常强调一次性的、具体
的、将要发生的动作,带有一定的目的性和目标性。做表语
的过去分词往往相当于形容词,如:moved,interested,
encouraged,excited,inspired,bored,surprised,puzzled,
amused,astonished。
Her dream is to become a singer.她的梦想是成为一名歌手。
They were excited at the news.
听到这个消息,他们很兴奋。
二、动词-ing形式做定语的用法
1.说明被修饰词的性质、特征或用途。如:
They set up an operating table in a small house.
他们将手术台设在一个小房子里。
He may be in the reading room.
他说不定在阅览室里。
2.与被修饰词为主动关系且表示正在进行的动作。
There were about 200 children studying in the art school.
有大约二百个孩子在这所艺术学校学习。
Who is the woman talking to our English teacher?
正在和我们英语老师谈话的那位女士是谁?
3.有些动词-ing形式已经转化成形容词,常做定语用来修饰
物,表示“令人……”。常用的此类词有:exciting,amusing,
amazing,astonishing,shocking,puzzling,confusing,
disappointing,discouraging,pleasing,striking,boring,tiring,
touching,moving,interesting,satisfying,terrifying,frightening
等。
That must have been a terrifying experience.
那准是一段可怕的经历。
The experiment was an amazing success.
那次试验是一个惊人的成功。

记一记·长知识
(1)单个的动词-ing形式做定语往往用作前置定语;动词-ing短
语往往用作后置定语。
(2)动词-ing短语后置的情况,其作用相当于定语从句,例如:
A man living in the village rarely sees subways.=
A man who lives in the village rarely sees subways.
