第九章 动词如何转换成名词
动名词（Gerund）和不定词（Infinitive）
9§1 问题的来源
对我们说中文的人而言，一个字究竟是动词，还是名词，其实是很少人知道的，对一般人而言，〝唱歌〞是动词，但是如果我们说，〝唱歌是有益的〞，我们又发现〝唱歌〞其实也是名词。〝我爱唱歌〞，这句话中，〝唱歌〞也是名词。
英文就不同了，英文里很少有一个字，又是动词，又是名词的，sing是动词，绝不能当很名词用。怪不得有很多中国人会说
＊Sing is good for you.   或者是  ＊I like sing.
既然sing是动词，也没有一个〝sing〞的名词，怎么办呢？英文解套的办法很有趣，他们用动名词（gerund）和不定词（infinitive）来将一个动词改成一个名词。
9§2 动名词（Gerund）
所谓动名词，乃是将一个动词，字尾加上ing，一夜之间，这个动词就可以当作名词用了。请看以下的例子：
I like singing.
Playing basketball is good for you.
Do you enjoy listening to classical music?
Is traveling around the world meaningful to you?
Studying English is not difficult.
我们不妨将动名词的用法分一下类：
1.动名词可用作主词，如
Playing tennis is enjoyed by many people.
Taking drugs is avoided by most people.
Being kind to others is important for every one.
Respecting your parents shows good character.
2.动名词可以用作动词的受词，如
I enjoy studying English.
He does not mind walking long distances.
I have never enjoyed being alone in my life.
He loves swimming.
3.动名词可以用作介系词（preposition）的受词，英文里有很多介系词，at, in, about, of, on等等都是介系词，介系词后面必定跟一个名词，也是它的受词，举例来说
on the table
in my home
about Hitler
of my life
on this island
各位一定注意到，每一个介系词后面都有一个名词，作为它的受词。
动名词是可以作为介系词的受词的，如：
This book is about traveling.
He is responsible for cleaning the kitchen.
My brother is capable of writing programs.
You just keep on going straight.
在下面，我们要给各位更多有关gerund的例子，各位不妨看看每一个句子中，那个动名词是作什么用的。
Instead of swimming, he walks every morning.
He likes walking in the woods.
Are you interested in playing tennis?
Loving is to be kind to others.
Reading is important to students.
In addition to traveling, he also likes reading novels.
You will be happy by helping others.
He is worried about being late.
I finished writing the report yesterday.
They thanked me for lending them money.
He has never finished writing the novel.
She is in change of teaching English in our school.
My father objected to my going to the summer camp.
Please stop joking about my brother.
I look forward to seeing you.
He has never enjoyed traveling.
She was excited about going abroad.
I consider gambling a bad thing to do.
I have never dreamed of flying an airplane.
He suggested talking to our teacher.
I believe in doing some kind of exercise every day.
Playing the piano is no fun at all.
Nancy is accustomed to sleeping late.
Are you tired of driving for so long?
You should forgive others for doing wrong things.
He insists on getting up early every morning.
Thank you for participating in my concert.
He is used to studying alone.
They are not used to speaking English.
He is accustomed to being polite to others.
I object to seeing dirty movies.
You should take advantage of studying in such a good place.

【练习四十】
将以下中文句子译成英文句子：
1.我不喜欢跳舞。
2.你对游泳有兴趣吗？
3.打蓝球是有趣的。
4.我们昨天谈到（talk about）教英文的事。
5.我不习惯（be not used to）抽烟。
6.我反对（object to）在公开场合哭泣（cry in public）。
7.除了游泳以外，他还应该打棒球（用in addition to）。
8.他可以（be capable of）每天跑一公里。
9.他负责（be in charge of）找寻一个好的地方。
10.我已习惯了（be accustomed to）早起。
9§3 不定词（Infinitives）
不定词＝to＋动词的原式。例如to go, to love, to eat等等，都是不定词，不定词和动名词的用法相似，以下全是用不定词用作名词的例子：
To love is to forgive.
To forgive your enemies will make you happy.
I like to eat chicken.
I asked my brother to come here.
He continued to read.
也许读者发现了不定词和动名词不同的地方：不定词不能用在介系词的后面，以下的句子都是错的：
＊I am interested in to play piano.
＊He is worried about to go abroad.
＊I am in charge of to prepare for the party.
如何将不定词用成名词呢？
1.不定词可以用作主词：如
To play tennis is great fun.
To play safe in the stock market is necessary.
To be kind to others is important for every one.
To respect your parents shows good character.
2.不家词可以用成很多动词的受词：
I like to swim.
He loves to listen to jokes.
My brother seems to be different.
I agree to lend him money.
Do you like to sing?
3.不定词可以跟在代名词的后面，形式如下：
动词（verb）＋代名词（pronoun）＋不定词（infinitive）
例如：
I told him to work hard.
I asked my brother to come back home.
He expects his friends to help him.
My teacher told me to wait for him.
I invited my sister to go to see a movie.
4.不定词常用在上述句子的被动语气中，例如：
He was told to work hard.
My brother was asked to come back home.
His friend is expected to help me.
I was told by my teacher to wait.
My sister was invited to go to see a movie.
以下是更多的不定词例子：
To give is more meaningful than to receive.
I love to swim in cold weather.
He agreed to listen to my story.
He decided to go anyway.
I told him to buy my book.
I invited him to come to my house.
I asked him to cook for me tonight.
Students are asked to work hard.
He needs to work hard.
I want you to send this letter to my father.
He requires every student to read one novel every week.
Every student is required to read one novel every week.
读者一定会问，是不是动名词可以和不定词互调，答案是否定的，有些动词后面可以跟动名词和不定词，但也有些动词，后面只能跟动名词，有些动词后面只能跟不定词。
有些动词后面可以跟动名词或不定词：love, like, hate, start, begin,以下的动词，后面只能跟动名词：
 
Enjoy     I enjoy eating good food.       
Appreciate     I appreciate your being kind to others.       
Avoid     You should avoid making mistakes.       
keep on     Keep on working hard.       
keep     Keep singing.       
consider     He considered leaving home.       
finish     He finished writing this book.       
suggest     May I suggest drinking a cup of coffee?       
discuss     We discussed traveling to New Zealand.      
以下的动词正好相反，只能跟不定词
 
agree     I agree to sign this letter.       
plan     He plans to go away.       
want     They want to rent a car.       
decide     He decided to work hard.       
seem     He seems to be very happy.       
appear     He appears to be very sad.      
一个字非常特殊，必须讨论一下，那就是stop：
stop smoking  指不再抽烟了
stop to smoke  指停下来，开始抽烟
9§4 动名词和不定词的被动和否定形式
将动词改成名词的时候，也可以有被动语气和否定语气，以下是一些例子：
Everyone likes to be loved.
This cup needs to be washed.
Being trusted is important.
I told him not to leave this house.
He asked me not to cry.
I was told not to fall asleep in class.
To be given a good gift on Christmas Eve makes me happy.
Being invited to that party is a great honor to me.
【练习四十一】

4. I suggest          (have) some fun.
5. He seems          (be) a kind person.
6. You appear          (be) quite tired.
7. I told him          (have) a cup of wine.
8. I invited him          (come) over.
9. Every one of you is required          (work) hard.
10. Do you like          (swim)?
11. I ordered him          (read) my book.
12. I was expected          (write) a letter to you.
13. He asked me          (read) this letter to him.
14. Please keep          (talk) to me.
15. Stop          (drive) so fast. It is dangerous to drive too fast.
16. I hate          (smoke).
17.          (pass) the test is important.
18.          (work) hard is the key to success.
19. My wife asked me to          (bring) some flowers home.
20. He avoided          (tell) lies.
【练习四十二】
将以下中文句子译成英文句子，用gerund或infinitive。
1.我请（invite）他到我家来。
2.我教（teach）他游泳。
3.被人爱令人快乐。
4.我讨厌（hate）抽烟。
5.我们应该避免（avoid）饮烟。
6.不要再（stop）抽烟了。
7.每个人都期待（expect）他写一本好书。
8.我要求（require）他每天念英文。
9§5 不定词的简式
不定词中一定要有to，但在有几个动词的后面，to又要省掉，最著名的是let，我们绝不可以说
＊I let him to leave.
而一定要说
I let him leave.
我们也不能说
＊I made him to work hard.（我使他努力工作）
而一定要说
I made him work hard.
以下的动词后面，不定词的后面都要省掉to。
 
动词     例句       
let     My mother let me watch TV tonight.       
make     He makes his students respect teachers.       
have     He had his sons clean their rooms.       
see     I saw him run away.       
hear     I heard the birds sing.       
watch     I watched the kids play.       
notice     I noticed her cry.      
因为在这些动词的后面，本来应该用不定词，仅仅是to被省掉了，因此我们在这些动词的后面仍然要用原式，以下的句子都是错的：
＊He made his son ran away from home.
＊I saw him walked away..
＊I have never heard him sang any song.
Help这一个动词非常特别，它后面的不定词中的to可省略也可不省，以下的句子都是对的：
I helped him wash his car.
I helped him to wash his car.
【练习四十三】
以下的句子都有错，请改正：
1.＊He lets his son to drive his car.
2.＊He made me felt happy.
3.＊I made my friend to discuss his problem with me.
4.＊I had my son to get up early every morning.
5.＊I helped my father painted his house.
6.＊I had my brother to carry this heavy luggage for me.
7.＊I had Mary to marry me.
8.＊This song makes everyone to cry.
9.＊I helped Nancy worked hard.
10.＊He made us to believe him.
11.＊I saw him to play.
12.＊I heard Mary sang several songs.
13.＊I watched her to swim.
14.＊I saw the birds to fly away.

第十章 如何将动词改成形容词
我们中文里，一个字有时是动词，有时却又可以用作形容词，最著名的例子是〝微笑老萧〞（萧万长院长的外号）〝微笑〞应该是动词，可是在这里，显然〝微笑〞是形容词。〝哭泣〞通常是动词，可是我们也可以说〝哭泣的孩子〞。也难怪我们常见到以下错误的英文句子：
＊      a smile face
＊      a run boy
需知smile和cry都是动词，是不能当作形容词来用的。
可是，更糟糕的是以下句子：〝住在台湾的人很有钱〞，我们很多人会说
＊           People live in Taiwan are rich.
以上的话为什么错呢？因为People是主词，are是动词，live in Taiwan形容people，可是live是一个动词，不能用作形容词的。怎么办呢？我们可以将一个动词用成一个形容词，我们的做法是利用分词（participle）和不定词（infinitive），而分词有两种：现在分词（present participle）和过去分词（past participle），我们在下一节，先谈现在分词的用法。
10§1 现在分词（present participle）作为形容词
任何一个动词，都有一个现在分词（present participle），现在分词的形式是在动词后面加上ing，如：
laughing
crying
walking
swimming
running
以下的例子中，现在分词都是形容词
a crying baby
a smiling girl
an exciting story
running water
a running boy
a rising star
现在分词不一定放在名词的前面，在以下的句子中，现在分词都在名词的后面
a person walking in the woods
the young man running very fast
people living in Taiwan
the person driving that red car
the singer singing the national anthem（国歌）
the boys playing in the fields
the young boy swimming in the pool
以下句子中的现在分词，都被用作形容词。
We have a crying baby here.
Seeing is believing.（believing是形容词，seeing是名词）
Loving is forgiving.
He always wears a smiling face.
Running water is important for mankind.
Look at the rising sun.
The person swimming in that cold river is quite strong.
The young man driving the red car is rich.
Those boys playing basketball are happy.
This movie is exciting.
This news is very upsetting.
This story is troubling.
The young boy swimming in the pool is my brother.
People living in the United States consume more energy than other people.
The person painting the house there is from Mexico.
She has a loving husband.
He is a rising star.
【练习四十四】
将以下的中文句子译成英文，每句都要用现在分词
1. 这是一本有趣的故事。
2. 这门课很无聊（boring）。
3. 看那只在唱歌的鸟。
4. 那位微笑的人是我的哥哥。
5. 住在乡下的人通常很健康。
6. 我不认识那位骑脚车的男孩子。
7. 那位正在吃冰淇淋的小孩子是我的儿子。
8. 那位在问问题的学生非常聪明。
9. 你见过那位打篮球的男孩子吗？
10.那位垂死（dying）的病人是我的老师。
10§2 过去分词（past participle）作为形容词
在完成式中，我们要用过去分词，过去分词也可以作为形容词，以下是一些例子：
a broken window （破碎的窗）
a fallen angel （堕落的天使）
a fallen star （已经不走红的明星）
a depressed person （一个沮丧的人）
a much appreciated action （为人很欣赏的动作）
究竟过去分词和现在分词何不同呢？过去分词多半有动被和已经完成的意思。最好的例子是：开发中家叫做a developing country，已开发国家就叫做a developed country。
以下的例子可以解释过去分词和现在分词的不同：
1. (a)这本书很有趣。
This book is interesting.
(b)我对这本书很有兴趣。
I am interested in this book.
2. (a)这是一部令人沮丧的电影。
This is a depressing movie.
(b)我看了这部电影以后，感到非常沮丧。
I felt very much depressed after seeing that movie.
3. (a)结果令人失望。
The result is frustrating.
(b)他因这个结果而非常失望。
He was frustrated because of the result.
4. (a)这个消息真令人难过。
This news is really upsetting.
(b)他们都很难过。
They are all upset.
5. (a)约翰的进步令人鼓舞。
John’s progress is encouraging.
(b)我因约翰的进步而感到鼓舞。
I am encouraged by John’s progress.
6. (a)水在烧。
The water is boiling.
(b)这是烧开的水。
This is boiled water.
7.(a)这个消息出人意外。
This news is surprising.
(b)我对这个消息感到意外。
I was surprised by the news.
8. (a)他的谈话令人困惑。
His words are confusing.
(b)他是一个充满困惑的人。
He is a confused person.
记住，以下的句子都是错的：
＊His statements are confused to me.
＊I am interesting in music.
＊He is an interested person.
＊This is indeed a surprised news.
＊This news is encouraged.
正确的句子应该是：
His statements are confusing.
I am interested in music.
He is an interesting person.
This is indeed a surprising news.
This news is encouraging.
以下是含有过去分词的句子，每一个过去分词都用作形容词：
America is a developed country.
I found that dog killed in a car accident.
The frustrated student needs help.
I want the report completed before midnight.
He is totally depressed.
They are all frustrated.
The car driven by that young man is a Cadillac.
This book, read by almost every one, was written by Charles Dickens.
This is still an unrealized dream.
Are you interested in music?
I am really surprised to meet you.
I was excited by his arrival.
The girl dressed in white is from Japan.
A depressed person needs love from others.
Millions got killed in the Second World War.
He is a troubled child who needs advice.
I have a broken leg.
Broken glass is all over the place.
千万注意，我们不可以轻易乱用过去分词，以下的句子都是错的：
＊He is suffered.
＊This article will be appeared in the next issue of Science.
正确的说法是：
He suffers.
This article will appear in the next issue of Science.
【练习四十五】

1. 我对音乐有兴趣。

5. 我因这个消息而感到兴奋。
6. 我们应该帮助那位沮丧的学生。
7. 三个人死于（get killed）这场车祸。
8. 这是一个充满了困惑的学生。
9. 他是一个很有趣的人。
【练习四十六】
填空，全部用现在分词或过去分词：

23. I don't like the song          (write) by the Beatles.
24. She is a          (care) woman.
10§3 不定词（Infinitives）作为形容词和副词
不定词可以用作名词，也可以用作形容词，以下都是不定词用作形容词的例子，要注意的是不定词不会放在名词的前面：
You don't have the right to talk so loudly.
He is to blame.
To see is to believe.（To see是名词，to believe是形容词）

第十一章 词组（Phrases）和子句（Clauses）
请看以下的句子，特别注意划线的字群：
1.            Understanding English is easy.
2.            I want you to work hard.
3.            Peter, who has been to England, speaks good English.
4.            I told him that I was going away.
Understanding English和to work hard有一共同特色，他们都没有主词，也没有动词，这种字群，叫做词组（phrase）。
Who has been to England和I was going away中，内部都有主词和动词，这种字群，叫子句（clause）。
由于我们已经对词组很熟悉，我们在这里不再讨论，而我们在这一章将多多介绍子句的用法。
11§1 问题型式的名词子句
假如我们说〝我不知道他住在哪里〞，或者〝他究竟住在哪里仍是个谜〞，我们就可以用这种问题型式的名词子句，每一个名词子句都要用who, where, whether, which等来开始。以下是典型的例子：
I don't know where he came from.（我不知道他来自何处。）
Whether or not he is an American is still a secret.（他是否是个美国人仍然是个秘密。）
I will find out where he is living.（我要找出他住在哪里。）
I can not remember whether he smokes or not.（我不记得他是否吸烟。）
Please let me know how old he is.（请让我知道他多大年纪。）
Kindly tell me what you really need.（请让我知道你需要什么。）
You have to decide which book you want to buy.（你应该决定买哪一本书。）
Do you know where he is from?（你知道他是从哪里来的？）
Do you know who he is?（你知道他是谁吗？）
Please ask your brother whether he is coming or not.（请问你的兄弟他会不会来。）
When she is coming remains a puzzle.（她何时来仍然是个谜。）
I don't know what he is interested in.（我不知道他的兴趣何在。）
I don't understand what he is talking about.（我不知道他在谈什么。）
Do you know whose bicycle this is?（你知道这辆脚踏车是谁的吗？）
Do you know which country Hawaii belongs to?（你知道夏威夷属于哪一个国家吗？）
You should ask your mother where you were born.
（你应该问你的母亲你在哪里生的。）
虽然每一个名词都有问题的意义，我们却不能在名词子句中用问句的型式，因为毕竟这个名词子句仅仅是一个子句而已，它的结尾并不是〝？〞。
因此以下的句子都是错的：
＊I don't know where did he come from.
＊I will find out how old is he.
＊Kindly tell me what do you need.
＊You have to decide which book do you want to buy.
＊When is he coming remains a puzzle.

11§2 以that开始的名词子句
现在我们先试着翻译以下的句子：
地球是圆的是众所周知的事。
一种直接了当的翻译是：
＊The earth is round is known to everyone.
遗憾的是，以上的句子是不对，我们必须加一个that到名词子句里去，以下的翻译是正确的：
That the earth is round is known to everyone.
我们再来翻译一个中文句子：
我要求他一定要用功念书。
直接了当的翻译可能像下面的：
＊I demand he must work hard.
这是错的，我们应该加一个that在这个名词子句的前面。以下的翻译才是正确的：
I demand that he must work hard.
虽然我们常看到这种that被省略的情形，我们仍希望大家知道，为保险起见，最好不要省掉that。以下是一些例子：
That the sun rises from the west is wrong.（太阳从西方升起是错的）
That a lot of Jews were killed during the Second World War is now a historical fact.
（大批犹太人在第二次大战中被杀是历史上的事实）
I didn't know that he is such a diligent student.（我不知道他是如此勤快的学生）
I demand that you go away.（我要求你离开）
I suggest that you go swimming every morning.（我建议你每天早上游泳）
That we should all respect our parents should be taught to our kids.
（我们该教孩子们尊敬父母）
I don't think that he is a good athlete.（我不认为他是一个好运动员）
Do you think that she is a good actress?（你认为她是一个好的演员吗？）
That he can speak good English helps him.（他能说很好的文，这点对他很有帮助）
I propose that we get married.（我建议我们结婚）
Let us always remember that there are a lot of poor people in the world.
（我们永远记住世界上有很多穷人）
Never forget that we should always love one another.（不要忘记我们应该互相友爱）
I am surprised to find out that he is a Catholic.（我很惊讶地发现他是个天主教徒）
That we lost the game made all of us frustrated.（我们输了，这件事令我们大感沮丧）
I can hardly believe that his English is so good.（我不能相信他的英文如此之好）
