I don't feel like reading tonight.今晚我不想读书。
(三) 分词在句中充当的成分
(1)作定语。作定语的分词如果是单个分词,放在所修饰的名词前;如果是分词短语则放在所修饰的名词后面。在用作定语时,分词在意思上接近一个定语从句。
例如:The boring snow made the bored boys go home. (= The snow was boring, so the boys wee bored and went home.)
China is a developing socialist country.发展中的社会主义国家
The man writing the obituary (讣告) is my friend.
(= The man who is writing the obituary is my friend.)
The broken glass scattered on the ground.破杯
注:现在分词与过去分词都可作定语,但现在分词表达的是正在进行的事情,有主动意义;而过去分词表示的是已完成的事情,有被动意义。
(2)作表语、宾语补足语。能带分词作宾补的动词常见的有see, hear, keep, find, notice, watch, think, want, smell, observe等。
例如:The story is boring.
I found him reading a novel. 在读小说(现在分词作宾语补足语)
I found him surrounded by a group of children.一群孩子包围着 (过去分词作宾语补足语)
(3)作状语。分词作状语可以表示时间, 原因, 条件, 结果, 伴随情况。
例如:Having read all the required papers, he answered the questions fluently. ---时间
Being short of money, I decided to apply for the work. ---原因
Seriously injured, Allen was rushed to the hospital. ----原因
If going there by plane, we’ll have to pay twice as much.—条件
Unless asked to answer questions, the pupils were not supposed to talk in Mrs Smith’s class.条件
The farmer used a new insecticide, thus raising the average yield by 15%. –结果
He sat in a rocking chair, watching TV. ---伴随
▲分词的特殊结构
独立主格
有时分词的逻辑主语与主句主语不一致,这时分词须带上自身的主语,这种结构称为独立主格结构。这种结构在句中多作伴随状语。亦可用来表示时间、原因、条件等。
例如:That being the case, we’d better make some changes in the plan.
Weather permitting, we will go out. == if weather permits
The teacher having finished the lesson, the students left the classroom.
“with或without + 名词或代词 + 分词”的复合结构
常用作补充说明或表示伴随情况。例如:He fell asleep with the lamp burning.
某些固定结构
generally / frankly speaking …,judging from / by …中,分词的逻辑主语与句子的主语不一致,这种结构只限于为数很少的几个动词。
例如:Judging by his dress, he comes from a wealthy family.从他的衣着判断
Frankly speaking, I don't like him at all.坦率地说
catch+宾语+doing
例如:I caught them stealing my apples.我抓住他们偷我的苹果。
If she catches me reading her diary,she'll be furious.如果她抓住我偷看她的日记,她会愤怒的
注:有些现在分词可以作介词用:如concerning, considering, regarding, respecting等。
例如:Considering his age, he is tall.考虑了他的年龄
I have nothing to say concerning his speech.关于他的演讲
三、非谓语动词比较
1.做主语宾语:-般来说,不定式和动名词成份相同时,表示客观性、一般性行为多用动名词表示,而表示一次性、具体性行为则多用不定式。
Looking after children is her job.照看小孩
To clean the classroom is his job today.打扫教室
I like swimming, but I don't like to swim today because I don't feel well.
注意(1):begin和start本身为进行时,或后面动词为心理变化意义的动词时,须接不定式。
When we came in, they were beginning to have supper.
After his eXPlanation, I began to understand it / realize that I was wrong.
(2).有些词后面既可以接不定式.亦可接动名词,但其意义有很大区别,须特别注意:
A.remember,forget,regret接动名词,表示完成意义(=having done),接不定式,表示将来意义:
Please remember to bring me the book I want next time.
I remember seeing her (=having seen her) somewhere before.
Don't forget to write to me soon.
I never forget visiting (=having visited) them for the first time.

I regret not taking (not having taken) your advice.
I regret to say I can't take your advice. (遗憾=be sorry)
B.mean:mean to do=want to do打算,想要……;mean doing:意味着,就是

I meant to call on you, but I was so busy.
Learning a foreign language doesn't mean just working in class.
C.stop:stop to do停下来,要干另一件事,不定式作目的状语;stop doing停止干……,
动名词作宾语。
