4、動名詞作賓語補語
I found the parade quite interesting to watch.
這種用法通常用在下列幾類動詞中,后接賓語然后加上-ing分詞,構(gòu)成復(fù)合賓語結(jié)構(gòu),動名詞充當(dāng)賓補成分。
表示感覺和心理狀態(tài)的動詞,如:see, hear, feel, find, smell, watch, find, listen to, look at, notice, observe等。如:
There we found him watching TV.
我們發(fā)現(xiàn)他在那兒看電視。
I heard someone knocking at the door.
我聽見有人在敲門。
在有些動詞(如:regard, describe, accept, think of, quote等)之后,可由as引出-ing分詞詞組作賓補。如:
They regarded the contract as being invalid.
他們認為合同無效。
They described the child as being very clever.
他們描述這孩子非常聰明。
使役動詞,如:set, keep, have, get, leave, catch等。如:
Can you get my watch going again?
你能使我的表再走起來嗎?
This sets me thinking.
這使我思考。
