VOA慢速英语:Iron, Vitamin D May Lead to Smarter, Healthier Children
动名词可以在句子中充当名词所能充当的多种句子成分。在这里仅就动名词在句子中作主语的情况进行讨论。
动名词作主语有如下几种常见情况:
1)直接位于句首做主语。例如:
Swimming is a good sport in summer.
2)用 it 作形式主语,把动名词(真实主语)置于句尾作后置主语。
动名词做主语时,不太常用 it 作先行主语,多见于某些形容词及名词之后。例如:
It is no use telling him not to worry.
常见的能用于这种结构的形容词还有:better,wonderful,enjoyable,interesting,foolish,difficult,useless,senseless,worthwhile,等。
注意:important,essential,necessary 等形容词不能用于上述结构。
3)用于“There be”结构中。例如:
There is no saying when he'll come.很难说他何时回来。
4)用于布告形式的省略结构中。例如:
No smoking ( =No smoking is allowed (here) ).
No parking.
5)动名词的复合结构作主语
当动名词有自己的逻辑主语时,常可以在前面加上一个名词或代词的所有格,构成动名词的复合结构(——这时,名词或代词的所有格做动名词的逻辑主语)。动名词的复合结构也可以在句中作主语。例如:
Their coming to help was a great encouragement to us.
2.She says their latest findings should settle any question about the value of making sure every pregnant woman receives iron supplements.
make sure设法确保出现某事物
例句:We and our friends will make sure of that.
我们和我们的朋友要确保这一点。
3.He says the problem of vitamin D deficiency is not limited to countries with the least sun.
be limited to被限制在...上
例句:But an entrepreneurial spirit does not have to be limited to the business world.
然而,企业家精神并不必局限于商业世界。
