动名词是高考的一个考点,我们不能掉以轻心。新年华学校一般的动名词我们都了解,现在就讲一下含有动名词的特殊句型。
动名词是英语动词的一种非谓语形式,有很多特殊句型和习惯用法。
1.worth +动名词= worthy of being done 做某事是值得的。
Is this film worth seeing again? 这部电影值得再看一次吗?
Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. 凡是值得做的,就值得好好去做。
注意:这个句型中的动名词总是用主动形式表示被动意义,类似的句型还有:worth while +动名词(也可用动词不定式)=worth the time spent in doing it。
It isn’t worth while doing (or: to do )that .做那件事不合算。
2.cannot help +动名词=be unable to refrain from doing——不禁;忍不住;不得不。
He couldn’t help laughing when he heard the funny story.他听到这个滑稽故事时,忍不住大笑起来。
注意:类似的惯用句型还有cannot stand /bear +动名词。新年华学校
