動名詞的用法是多益必考的文法重點之一,但是很多人不清楚怎麼用,你是不是也有同樣的疑問呢?就讓這篇文章,帶你全面了解動名詞吧!

在這篇文章,你會學到 >>>1. 動名詞的功能
2. 只和動名詞配合的常用動詞
3. 必考的動名詞慣用語

文末還有超擬真多益小測驗,幫助你釐清盲點喔!

一、動名詞是什麼?功能又是什麼?

動名詞(Ving)就是動詞變成的名詞。動名詞可以當作:

  • 主詞
Singing is a lot of fun.
Teaching those naughty children is painful.

Ving 當主詞,就是表示「一件事」,要視為單數喔!

Teaching naughty children and teaching hardworking children are two different experiences.

但是如果有 2 個 Ving 當主詞的話,就表示 2 件事嘛,所以動詞就是複數型!

  • 放在動詞之後,也表示某件事
The man finally admitted stealing George’s money.
Peter is fond of singing.
My hobby is reading.

其實動名詞的用法和名詞幾乎相同,只要記得這一點,就不用特別背誦了喔!

二、這些動詞當受詞時,只能用 Ving 形式

這些動詞不能接不定詞(to V),只能接動名詞(Ving)喔!

例句如下:

  • I advise redoing the work. 我建議這工作重做一遍。
  • The little bot dreads talking to his father. 這個小男孩害怕跟他父親說話。
  • You should practice speaking English all the time. 你該時不時就練習說英文。

三、這些 Vt 的受詞可以是 Ving 或 to V,但是意思不一樣

有些及物動詞(Vt)後面可以接動名詞和不定詞,可是意思有些不同喔!

  • mean Ving 意思是……
  • mean to V 有意要……(=intend to V)
Your participation means wasting time. 
你參加了,意思就是浪費時間。
I meant to help Mary, but she turned me down.
我有意要幫助瑪麗,但是她拒絕了。
  • regret Ving 後悔曾……
  • regret to V 抱歉要……
I regret writing the letter. 
我後悔之前寫了這封信。
We regret to tell you that you didn’t meet our expectations.
我們很抱歉要告訴您,您沒有達到我們的期望。
  • remember Ving 記得曾經……
  • remember to V 記得要……
I remember calling you yesterday. 
我記得昨天有打電話給你。
I’ll remember to call you again tomorrow.
我會記得明天再打電話給你。
  • forget Ving 忘了曾……
  • forget to V 忘了要……
I forgot meeting that girl before. 
我忘了我之前見過那個女孩。
Don’t forget to call me tomorrow.
別忘了明天要打電話給我。

發現了嗎?只要後面接 Ving 的時候,意思就是「曾經做過某事」、「已經做過某事」,可是如果接 to V 的話,表示「還沒做某事」、「將要做某事」喔!

四、還有哪些 Ving 慣用語呢?

以下介紹幾個常見的動名詞慣用語!

  • There is no Ving 誰都無法…… =No one can V
There is no denying that China has made a lot of progress during the past 10 years.No one can deny that China has made a lot of progress during the past 10 years.不可否認過去十年來,中國進步的幅度很大。
  • It is no use Ving 做……是無用的
It is no use asking me about this issue because I know nothing about it.
問我這個問題沒用,因為我完全不懂。
  • have trouble / difficulty / problems / a hard time (in) Ving 從事……很困難
John is stubborn, so most people have trouble reasoning with him.
約翰很固執,所以大部分的人很難跟他講理。
  • have fun / a good time / a great time / a wonderful time (in) Ving 從事……很愉快
I had a good time hiking with my family last week.
上星期我和家人健行很愉快。
  • be busy Ving 忙著從事……=be busy with N
Don’t bother David. He is busy doing his work./He is busy with his work.
別打擾大衛,他正忙著他的工作。
  • feel like Ving 想要……=would like to V
I feel like going to the movies tonight. Would you like to join me?我今晚想去看電影,你想跟我一起去嗎?

多益文法小測驗 — — 動名詞篇

1. Paul is considering ________ jobs, but his co-workers ask him to stay because of the economic slump.

(A) to change (B) changing (C) changed (D) changes

2. Becoming a solution provider ______ solving a problem even if the solution doesn’t involve the purchase of your product.

(A) means (B) means to (C) is meant by (D) means by

3. Mr. Rbertson thinks that dealing with those inquisitive students _______ a rewarding experience because he can also learn a lot in the long run.

(A) being (B) are (C) is (D) to be

4. Do you mind ________ the manager know if you are going to take any vacation this coming summer?

(A) letting (B) allowing (C) to let (D) to allow

5. The boss is so stubborn that there is _______ with him once you find your opinion is different from his.

(A) no reason (B) no reasoning (C) not reason (D) not reasoning

reason (n.) 原因 (v.) 說服;講道理

Ans: (B) (A) (C) (A) (B)

解題重點

  1. consider 後方要接 Ving 或是 (to be) N。不能接不定詞 to V 喔!
  2. mean Ving 意即/等於……。
  3. 在 that 子句中,dealing with those inquisitive students(與那些好問的學生來往)是動名詞片語,當成主詞,所以空格內要填單數 be 動詞,也就是 is。
  4. mind 後面應該要接 Ving,所以只剩下 (A)、(B) 可選,但是 let、allow 文法不同:let sb V 讓某人、allow sb to V 允許某人。這題空格後面有受詞 the manager 和原型動詞 know,所以要選 (A) letting。如果題目的 know 改成 knowing 的話,就要選 (B) allowing 了。
  5. 前面有提到的固定結構:It is no use Ving ……是無用的。
