動名詞作表語,主要是對主語內(nèi)容的進一步說明和解釋。它和主語間可以劃等號,甚至可以交換位置。例如: Her job is looking after children.(她的工作就是照看小孩)可以換為:Looking after children is her job.(照看小孩就是她的工作) The problem is finding land for it.(問題是要為它找到土地)可以換為:Fanding land for it is the problem.(為它找到土地,這是個問題) 而現(xiàn)在分詞充當表語,主要對主語特征進行描述,不能同主語劃等號,因此不能同主語換位置。例如: The situation was puzzling. 形勢令人迷惑不解。 Her speech was touching. 她的發(fā)言很感人。 |
