今天繼續(xù)討論 verb infinitive 和 gerund 的使用方法。
有時(shí)選擇 verb infinitive 和 gerund 時(shí),要看句子的前半部。有一些詞組,后面必定要跟 gerund,例如:
1. I am interested in learning English.
2. Her teacher is tired of hearing complaints from her.
3. We look forward to seeing you when you come in the summer.
4. Who is in charge of cleaning up after the party?
這些句子,一律不可以用 verb infinitive。
還有一些字,如 stop,用 gerund 或 verb infinitive 的意思完全不一樣。John 和 Peter 爭(zhēng)吵了半個(gè)鐘頭,然后:
John stopped to consider what Peter had to say.
John stopped considering what Peter had to say.
前一句指 John 終于停下來去思考 Peter 說的話。而第二句中,John 聽膩了 Peter 的話,不想要再考慮 Peter 所說的。兩句的意思是剛剛相反,使用時(shí)要注意。
