2 worth 的用法

worth,worthy,worth-while都爲adj. 意爲"值得"。

1. worth: be worth + n.  當名詞爲金錢時,表示"…… 值得……"

be worth doing sth. "……某事值得被做"

The question is not worth discussing again and again.

2. worthy:be worthy of +n. 當名詞爲抽象名詞時表示"……值得……"

      It is worth while sb to do sth.

典型例題

It is not ____ to discuss the question again and again.

答案C. 由worth的用法可知,此句只適合詞組be worth-while to do sth.。因此選C。

動詞不定式

1 不定式作賓語

1) 動詞+ 不定式

afford  aim   appear  agree  arrange  ask   be    decide bother  care  choose   come    dare   demand desire  determine     expect   elect  endeavor     hope       fail  happen  help  hesitate learn  long   mean   manage  offer  ought   plan  prepare pretend   promise refuse seem   tend   wait    wish     undertake

2 不定式作補語

1) 動詞+賓語+不定式(to do)

Find 的特殊用法:

A. to invent B. inventing  C. to have invented  D. having invented 

答案:A. 由consider to do sth. 排除B、D。. 此句只說明發明這一個事實,不定式後用原形即可。而C爲現在完成時,發明爲點動詞一般不用完成時,且此處也不強調對現在的影響,因此不選C。

3) to be +形容詞

2) It's very kind of you to help us. 他幫助我們,他真好。

Kind, nice,  stupid, rude,  clever, foolish, thoughtful, thoughtless, brave, considerate(考慮周到的), silly,  selfish(自私的)

例句:

注意:1) 其他系動詞如,look,appear等也可用於此句型

2) 不定式作爲句子成分時,動詞用單數形式。

3) 當不定式作主語的句子中又有一個不定式作表語時,不能用It is… to…的句型

 (對)To see is to believe. 百聞不如一見。

 (錯)It is to believe to see.

4 It's for sb.和 It's of sb.

1)for sb. 常用於表示事物的特徵特點,表示客觀形式的形容詞,如easy, hard, difficult,  interesting, impossible等:

It's very hard for him to study two languages. 對他來說學兩門外語是很難的。

2)of sb的句型一般用表示人物的性格,品德,表示主觀感情或態度的形容詞,如good, kind, nice, clever, foolish, right。

It's very nice of you to help me. 你來幫助我,你真是太好了。

for 與of 的辨別方法:

用介詞後面的代詞作主語,用介詞前邊的形容詞作表語,造個句子。如果道理上通順用of,不通則用for。如:

You are nice. (通順,所以應用of)。

He is hard. (人是困難的,不通,因此應用for。)

5 不定式作表語

不定式可放在be動詞後面,形成表語。例如:

My work is to clean the room every day.

His dream is to be a doctor.

6 不定式作定語

不定式做定語通常要放在被修飾的詞後。例如:

I have a lot of work to do. 

So he made some candles to give light.

To… only to (僅僅爲了), in order to, so as to, so(such)… as to… (如此……以便……)

I come here only to say good-bye to you. 我來僅僅是向你告別。

2)作結果狀語,表事先沒有預料到的,要放在句子後面。

What have I said to make you angry.

He searched the room only to find nothing.

3) 表原因

I'm glad to see you.

典型例題

The chair looks rather hard, but in fact it is very comfortable to ___. 

A. sit  B. sit on  C. be seat  D. be sat on

答案:B. 如果不定式爲不及物動詞,其後應有必要的介詞。當動詞與介詞連用時,常位於"形容詞+動詞不定式"結構的末尾。

8 用作介詞的to

to 有兩種用法: 一爲不定式+動詞原形; 一爲介詞+名詞/動名詞, to 在下面的用法中是第二種,即to+ 名詞/動名詞:

be accustomed to 習慣於,  be used to 習慣於, stick to 堅持,       turn to開始,着手於, devote oneself to 獻身於, be devoted to 致力於, look forward to 盼望,   pay attention to 注意

9 省to 的動詞不定式

2) 使役動詞 let, have, make:

3) 感官動詞 see, watch, look at, notice , observe, hear, listen to, smell, feel, find 等後作賓補,省略to。

注意:在被動語態中則to 不能省掉。

I saw him dance.

=He was seen to dance.

=They were made to work the whole night.

4) would rather,had better:

5) Why… / why not…:

6) help 可帶to,也可不帶to, help sb (to) do sth:

7) but和except:but前是動詞do時,後面出現的動詞用不帶to的動詞不定式。

8) 由and, or和than連接的兩個不定式,第二個to 可以省去:

9) 通常在discover, imagine, suppose, think, understand等詞後,可以省去to be: 

He is supposed (to be) nice. 他應該是個好人。

舉例:

He wants to move to France and marry the girl.

He wants to do nothing but go out.

比較:  He wants to do nothing but go out.

  He wants to believe anything but to take the medicine.

典型例題

1) ---- I usually go there by train. 

---- Why not ___ by boat for a change? 

A. to try going  B. trying to go  C. to try and go  D. try going  

答案:D. why not 後面接不帶to 的不定式,因此選D。

2) Paul doesn't have to be made ___. He always works hard. 

A. learn  B. to learn  C. learned  D. learning

4) The boy wanted to ride his bicycle in the street,but his mother told him ____. 

A. not to  B. not to do  C. not do it 

D. do not to

答案:A。not to 爲not to do it 的省略形式。可以只用to這個詞,而不必重複整個不定式詞組。及物動詞do後應有名詞、代詞等,否則不對,因此B,D不對。

5) The patient was warned ___ oily food after the operation. 

A. to eat no  B. eating not  C. not to eat 

D. not eating

答案:C。warn一詞要求後用不定式,此處爲不定式的被動,否定形式爲be warned not to do。

2 forget doing/to do

forget to do 忘記要去做某事。 (未做)

forget doing 忘記做過某事。  (已做)

The light in the office is stil on. He forgot to turn it off.

---- Oh,I forgot___.          

A. turning it off  B. turn it off  C. to turn it off  D. having turned it off

答案:C。由the light is still on 可知燈亮着,即關燈的動作沒有發生,因此用forget to do sth.

答案:C。由題意可知,她到了山頂,停下來在一個路邊的大石頭上休息。因此,應選擇"stop to do sth. 停下來去做另一件事"。而不僅僅是爬山動作的終止,所以stop doing sth.不正確。

I'm considering how to go(where to go, what to do). I considered emplying but

decided that was more suited

to the job.

4. 在remember,forget等詞後,如果跟-ING分詞,表示-ING分詞的動作發生在主要謂語之前;如果跟不定式則表示不定式的動作發生在主要謂語動作之後

I remember telling her that last night. ("告

訴"發生在"記得"之前) He remembered to tell her that when she

came back. ("記得"發生在"告訴"之前)

I'm sorry I forgot to give you the message. (主

語動詞表示的動作"忘記"發生在不定式表

示的動作"給帶口信"之前) Why! I have such a bad memory. I forgot

giving the message last night. (-ING分詞

表示的動作"給帶口信"發生在謂語動詞表

示的動作"忘記"之前)

二、-ING分詞與-ED分詞的區別

雖然在語法功能上,-ED分詞在句子中所能承擔的成分基本與-ING分詞相同,但在意義上兩者有差別:-ING分詞表示主動的意義,而-ED分詞則表示被動的意義;-ING分詞表示一般性的或正在進行的動作,而-ED分詞則表示已經完成和被動的動作。在表現形式上,-ING分詞有"一般式"和"完成式"與"主動式"和"被動式"之分;而-ED分詞只有一種形式。下邊我們分析-ING分詞與-ED分詞在語法功用上的區別。

1. 作表語時,-ING分詞表示主語所具有的特徵而-ED分詞表示主語所處的狀態

The book is quite interesting. I am insteredted in the book very much.

The play is more exciting than any I have

ever seen. That piece of land lay deserted.

2. 作狀語時-ING分詞表示主語正在進行的另一動作而-ED分詞則表示主語發生動作的背景或情況 11) In his movies,W. C. Fields was always at war with the world, .

[A] battling both people and objects

[B] both people and objects were battled

[C] he was battling both people and objects

[D] both people and objects that were battled

13) Having been served lunch, .

[A] the problem was discussed by the members of the committee

[B] the committee members discussed the problem

[C] it was discussed by the committee members the problem

[D] a discussion of the problem was made by the members of the committee

14) Considered one of the leading poets in America today, .

[B] Sonia Sanchez has also written a number of books and plays

[C] a number of Sonia Sanchez's books and plays have been written

[D] there have been a number of books and plays written by Sonia Sanchez

3. ①作定語時,-ING分詞表示正在進行的動作,而-ED分詞表示動作發生在謂語動詞之前;②-ING分詞表示它所修飾的詞經常或當時的狀態,而-ED分詞則沒有時間性;③-ING分詞表示主動,而-ED分詞表示被動

15) The boiled [A] point of any liquid [B] is determined [C] by the pressure [D] of the surrounding gases.

16) High-grade [A] written [B] paper is frequently [C] obtained [D] from cotton rags.

17) Scientists [A] still cannot find [B] any convinced [C] link between intelligence [D] and the quantity or quality of brain cells.

4. 但少數幾個動詞的-ED分詞,有兩種形式而且在意義上有差別,如:bear的-ED分詞有born和borne之分,前者只用於"出生"的意義,而後者用於"負擔","負荷","承擔"和"傳送"之意

I was born in 1966.

His borne responsibility to the whole workers of the factory is really great.

再如:hang的-ED分詞也有兩種,一是hung,另一形式是hanged, 前者表示"懸掛",後者表示"吊死,絞死"。strike的-ED分詞也有兩種:struck和striken, 前者有"打擊""衝擊""感動"等義,而striken只用作形容詞,表示"受折磨"之意。

來自及物動詞的-ED分詞所表示的是被動意義;來自不及物動詞的-ED分詞則可表示主動和完成的意義:fallen leaves (落葉),a full-blown rose (盛開的玫瑰), escaped prinsoners(逃犯), the exploded bomb, her deceased husband, the retired workers, the vanished jewels, the newly arrived visitors, the returned students, the risen sun.

三、例題解析

1) A爲正確答案。(一般性的動作。)

2) A爲正確答案。(連續的動作。)

3) D錯。 改爲harvesting(抽象的動作)。

4) A爲正確答案。(已完成的動作。)

5) C錯。 改爲to be interviewed(將要發生的動作)。

6) C錯。改爲to kill(不定或未來動作)。

7) D爲正確答案。(過去經常或總是幹……)

8) A爲正確答案。(習慣於……used是形容詞)

9) A錯。改爲jog。(表示過去經常或總是幹……)

10) A爲正確答案。

11) A爲正確答案。

12) B爲正確答案。本句是由-ED分詞"noted"引導的-ED結構,在句中說明主句謂語的背景。

13) B爲正確答案。

14) B爲正確答案。-ED分詞"considered"的邏輯主語應爲人,除B外的其他選項都無法和空白前-ED結構在邏輯主語上一致。

15) A錯。改爲boiling。-ED分詞含有完成和被動的意思,-ING分詞則表示主動、進行,也可用作前置定語表示性狀、用途。如:"boiling water(water which is boiling.)"意思是"開水",意即"正在開着的水",而"boiled water(water which has been boiled.)"雖也可譯爲"開水",但表示"已開過了的水(現在可能涼了)。"本句A處應改爲boiling,"boiling point"意思是"沸點"。

16) B錯。改用"writing","writing paper"意爲"寫字的紙,信紙",-ING分詞"writing"表用途。與此類似的還有"swimming pool"(游泳池) ,"sleeping car"(臥鋪) 。"written"含有完成和被動意味,不合上下文。

17) C錯。改爲"convincing"。"令人信服的聯繫"應爲"convincing link","convincing"含有主動的意味,即"聯繫"(link)本身具有這種性質,而"convinced"則含有完成或被動的含義, 修飾有生命的名詞 。試比較:a surprising man (使人驚訝的人) ,a surprised man (被驚嚇了的人)
