语法讲解：现在分词与动名词的区别
2013-10-15 14:03 分类：学校英语作者：hongmeizxxk 阅读：65967
在英语教学过程中，不少学生会混淆动名词与现在分词。在遇到动词的-ing形式时，他们比较难区分到底什么时候动词的-ing形式是动名词，什么时候是现在分词。为了区分这两者，首先，我们要从概念上认识它们。动词的-ing形式在起名词作用时，称为动名词；用作形容词时，称为现在分词。其次，我们要从用法方面区分动词的-ing形式是动名词还是现在分词。
一、动词的-ing形式用作主语时，其为动名词，现在分词不可以用作主语。
1．动名词用作主语。
Reading French is easier than speaking it. 阅读法文比讲法语容易。
Talking to him is talking to a wall. 和他说话等于对牛弹琴。
Smoking can cause cancer. 吸烟会致癌。
Growing roses is her hobby. 种玫瑰是她的爱好。
2．有时it作形式主语，把动名词主语放在句子后面。
It’s nice seeing you again. 再次见到你太好了。
It was tiring driving from morning till night. 从早到晚开车很累人。
It’s a wonder meeting you here. 在这里碰到你真是奇迹。
It was a waste of time reading that book. 看那本书是浪费时间。
3．“There is + no”后可以用动名词作主语
There was no knowing what he could do. 他能做什么很难说。
There was no arguing with her. 没法和她争论。
二、动词的-ing形式用作宾语时，其为动名词，现在分词不可以用作宾语。
1．有许多动词可接动名词作宾语
I suggested bringing the meeting to an end. 我建议结束会议。
So you prefer living abroad 这样说你更愿意住在国外？
He kept complaining. 他不停地抱怨。
I finished reading the book last night. 这书我昨晚看完了。
2．有许多带介词的动词固定搭配接动名词作宾语
He has given up playing football. 他现在不踢足球了。
Prices keep on increasing. 价格不断上涨。
三、当动词的-ing形式用作状语时，其为现在分词，动名词不可以用作状语。
现在分词及其短语从表意的角度看可以用作状语，表示时间、原因、结果、条件、让步、方式或伴随情况等。其动作可能发生在谓语之前或之后，也可能与谓语动词的动作同时发生。
Climbing to the top of the tower, we saw a magnificent view.
我们爬到塔顶后，看到了一片壮丽的景象。（表时间）
Living in the country, we had few social engagements.
我们住在乡下，交际的机会很少。（表原因）
A person standing at the center of one of the broader craters would be unable to see the crater walls.
一个人如站在更广阔的火山口的中间，就会看不到火山口壁。（表条件）
Knowing all this, they made me pay for the damage.
尽管他们了解这一切，还是要我赔偿损失。（表让步）
The child fell, striking his head against the door and cutting it.
那孩子跌倒了，头碰在门上碰破了。（表结果）
He stood leaning against the wall. 他靠墙站着。（表方式或伴随情况）
四、动名词与现在分词都可以用作表语，当动词的-ing为名词时，动词的-ing为动名词。动词的-ing为形容词时，动词的-ing为现在分词。
1．动名词用作表语
Her hobby is painting. 她的爱好是绘画。
Her job was tending the sheep. 她的工作是放羊。
The main thing is getting there in time. 首要的事是及时到达那里。
2．现在分词用作表语
The news is encouraging. 这消息令人鼓舞。
This story is very interesting. 这个故事很有趣。
The day was so charming. 天气真是好极了。
The difference was most striking. 差别很明显。
五、动名词与现在分词都可以用作定语
现在分词表示其所修饰的名词的动作，也可以说，现在分词与其所修饰的名词在逻辑上具有主谓关系。动名词则表示其
修饰的名词的性质，两者在逻辑上无主谓关系。
1．动名词作定语，动名词表性质或用途或功能。
swimming pool 游泳池drinking water 饮用水
swimming suit 游泳衣waiting room 候车室
sleeping bag 睡袋parking lot 停车场
sleeping pill 安眠药parking meter 停车计时
writing desk 写字桌sewing machine 缝纫机
writing paper 信纸operating table 手术室
diving suit 潜水衣reading room 阅览室
diving board 跳板threshing ground 打谷场
washing machine 洗衣机boxing competition 拳击比赛
washing powder 洗衣粉speaking contest 演讲比赛
drawing board 绘图板checking account 活期账户
drawing pin 图钉banking system 银行系统
fishing pole 钓鱼杆fishing line 钓鱼线
2．现在分词作定语与其所修饰的名词在逻辑上具有主谓关系
dwindling profits 日益减少的利润
a booming town 日渐繁荣的城镇
growing doubts 越来越大的怀疑
increasing demand 日益增长的需求
the existing condition 现有条件
diminishing returns 日益减少的效益
the remaining days 剩下的岁月
the prevailing fashion 盛行的时装
a shining example 光辉的榜样
lasting peace 持久的和平
a falling star 流星
the leading newspapers 主要报纸
developing countries 发展中国家
the ruling class 统治阶级
living things 有生命的东西
the ageing population 日益老化的人口
the rising generation 在成长的一代
a resounding victory 辉煌的胜利
六、现在分词可以用作补语，现在分词用作宾语补语时，与前面的宾语构成复合宾语。在复合宾语中，用现在分词作宾补，说明宾语是动作的发出者，形成逻辑上的主谓关系；用过去分词作宾补，表示宾语是动作的承受者，构成逻辑上的动宾关系。
具有这种复合宾语的动词多为表示感觉的动词，如：smell, observe, watch, notice, look at, listen to 等。另外，有些使役动词如have, set, get, catch, keep, leave等可以后面接含有现在分词的复合宾语。还有，作为宾语补语的现在分词有时前面可有as，前面的动词多用regard, consider, describe, quote, picture, see, think of 等。现在分词用作主语补语，多用在被动结构中，与主语构成复合主语。
We found him waiting to receive us. 我们发现他等着欢迎我们。
We kept the fire burning all the time. 我们使火一直燃烧着。
They described the young man as having initiative and drive.他们说这青年积极肯干。
He was seen going upstairs. 有人看见他上楼。
There was so much noise that the speaker couldn't make himself heard.
七. 如果－ing形式在句中充当状语和补语，那么它一定是现在分词。如果－ing形式在句中充当主语、宾语、同位语，那么它一定是动名词；如果－ing形式在句中充当定语、表语，那么它有可能是现在分词，也有可能是动名词。
1、too much “太多，过多”用做形容词或代词，可以修饰不可数名词或用来代替不可数名词。
例：There was too much noise in the next door.
You shouldn’t have eaten too much.
toomuch也可以放在某些动词之后，做状语，表示程度，这些词有：work，talk，walk，thank等。
例：She does talk too much, doesn’t she
2、much too “实在，太”用来修饰形容词或副词，其实too就是用来修饰形容词或副词，在它前面加上much则更能表示程度“太”。
例：The dress is much too longforme.
The problem is much too difficult for us to solve.
另外，too+adj./adv之前若想要加强语气，除much之外，还可以使用a little，a lot，far和all等来修饰，但不能使用very或quite。
例：The soup is a little too sweet for me.
toomuch除做状语外，还可以用做主语、表语、宾语和定语。
例：Too much was happening all at once.(做主语)
I have got too much to do.（做宾语)
Jack drank too much wine yesterday.(做定语)
She is afraid the trip will be toomuch for me.(做表语)
一、现在分词和动名词在形式上非常的相似，但是，动名词和现在分词在用法上是有区别的。所谓动名词就是名词，不过它仍一方面保留着动词的某些特征，具有动词的某些变化形式，用以表达名词所不能表达的较为复杂的意念，另一方面动名词在句子的用法及功能与名词类同:在句子可以作主语、宾语、表语、定语。它也可以被副词修饰或者用来支配宾语。例如:
run into constant discrimination in trying to find a job or friend.
在寻找工作和结交朋友方面，他们不断地受到歧视。
in digs means having one room in someone's house.
寄居的意思是在别人的家里借住一间房间。
动名词用法口诀:
动名词常泛指，句法作用宾/表/定与主，时态/语态之形式，一般/完成/被动式。Being done 系被动，不含任何进行意。用作主语请留意，常用it作形式主语，不指未来发生事，表达的信息系已知。用作表语请记清，作用相当一名词，检验方法很简单，主与表换位能成立。用作定语也易辩，表示名词之用途。用作宾语稍复杂，关键留意谓语动词(跟动名词作宾语的常用动词附后)，时态同谓动作比较，先于谓动用完成式，其逻辑主语不固定，在句中/句外均有之。否定式其前加not，复合式其前加物主词，非句首宾格词也可用，尤其口语中更如此。
二、现在分词(present participle)相当于形容词，在句中作定语或者状语，所以当-ing形式出现在句中作主语，宾语，同位语时，它肯定动名词，当-ing形式出现在句中作状语时，它肯定是现在分词。
三、动名词和现在分词都可以用于系动词之后作表语，区别方法是:
1、作表语的动名词与主语指的是同一件事,此时系动词相当于“是”,通常把主语和表语的位置互换,语法和意思不变,例如:
My hobby is swimming.可改为Swimming is my hobby.(可将原句中的主语与表语位置互换)
2、现在分词作表语主要用以说明主语的性质,不能与主语互换位置,例如:
The story is interesting .不可改为:Interesting is the story.
四、动名词和现在分词都可以用作定语来修饰名词,两者的区别在于:
动名词修饰名词时主要表示该名词的用途,而现在分词修饰名词时性质?状态或动作等?试比较:
1、a swimming boy和a swimming suit
前者的意思是“一个正在游泳的男孩”，即a boy who is swimming ,现在分词swimming 表示被修饰名词boy
的动作;而后者的意思是“游泳衣”，即a suit for swimming ,动名词swimming表示suit 的用途?
2、a sleeping child 和a sleeping car
前者的意思是“一个正在睡觉的孩子”，即a child who is sleeping ,现在分词sleeping 表示被修饰名词child 正处于的状态;而后者的意思是“卧车(被用来睡觉的车厢)”，即 a car which is used for sleeping ，动名词sleeping 表示car 的用途?
