1) avoid + doing sth (只能跟动名词/名词,这样的单词有: enjoy, fancy, mind, finish…)

2) came running towards me
running towards me是现在分词短语,作状语,修饰came,表示伴随状况. 一样情况如: go swimming

cross v. 穿过

hear/see/feel/watch+doing/to do sth

2、It was no use pretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him.
若再装作没看见他已是没有用了,我只好向他招手。
It是形式主语, 真正的主语是动名词短语 pretending that I had not seen him…
假装没看到他是没用了…
It is (of) no use doing…是个固定结构. 可以省略, 表 “做…也是徒劳”
It is (of) no use worrying about your family
It is (of) no use doing… 做……是没有用处的,做……是徒步的/无益的
=it is useless of/in doing sth.
It is no use pretending … 假装……是没有用了

9、'Would you mind my coming with you?' he asked, before I had finished speaking.
“我跟你一道去行吗?”没等我说完话他就问道。
我们先来比较一下:
Would you mind coming with me?
你跟我走行吗?
Would you mind opening the window?
Would you mind my opening the window?
“Would/Do you mind +动名词/if引导的从句”用来表示客气的请求或征求意见,表示同意/不介意时,用“No, not at all”或“Certainly not”回答;不同意时往往用一些委婉的说法,如“I’m sorry, but…”等回答,不用“yes, I so”。
Would you mind if I open the windows?
Certainly not. /Sorry, but it’s cold here.
mind (sb’s) +doing sth. 介意某人做某事
-ing的逻辑主语有四种形式,分为两大类
Would you mind my parents' having dinner with me?
Would you mind me opening the door?
Would you mind my/me smoking?
-ing的逻辑主语有四种形式,分为两大类
① 作为代词, 可以用人称代词的宾格, 又可以用形容词性物主代词
② 作为名词, 可以保持本身不变, 也可以变成名词所有格
作主语时必须是所有格(名词所有格, 形容词性物主代词), 但作宾语时可以用所有格, 也可用普通格(人称代词宾格)
Would you mind my parents' having dinner with me?
Would you mind me opening the door?
Would you mind my/me smoking?
Would you mind me making myself at home? 你介意我把这儿当成家吗?
10 'Not at all,' I lied, 'but I'm going to the dentist.'
“没关系,但我准备去牙医那里。”我说了个谎。
11 'Then I'll come with you,' he answered. 'There's always plenty to read in the waiting room!
“那我也跟你去,候诊室里总有很多东西可供阅读!”他回答
Plenty... to read 省略句elliptical sentence =plenty books/magazines to read.
Waiting room 等候室,候诊室的休息室
retiring room 休息室 study room 书房,自习室 bathroom 浴室
drawing room会客室,客厅 living room 客厅,起居室 bedroom 卧室
【Composition】
1 as(因为) whom(引导定语从句)…in order to (目的状语)
There was a dentist nearby whom she knew well Elizabeth decided to go there in order to explain what had happened.
3 Afrer Elizabeth left, the dentist went into the waiting room and asked Nigel if he wanted to have his teeth examined.
【Key structure】
动名词的用法
有些动词后可以用动名词作宾语,但不能用不定式。这些动词包括avoid,admit,deny,fancy,finish,enjoy,mind(在乎,在意),suggest,stand(容忍)等。
有些结构通常要接动名词,如busy,worth,it is no/little use,bored with,interested in,insist on,prevent…from等:
I was looking forward to reading those books.
Well, you can’t read them, so it’s no use thinking about them.
动名词可以有自己的逻辑主语(即动作执行者,而不是句子的主语):
Please excuse his not writing to you.
Do you mind my smoking?
come和go之后可以跟与户外活动相关的动名词(climbing,driving,fishing,riding,shopping,walking等),表示建议、邀请或叙事。
There’s no point in my coming climbing with you.
我和你们去爬山毫无意义。 (there’s no point in =it is no use)
感知动词(hear,see,fell,watch等)后面既可以跟宾语加分词结构,也可以跟宾语加不带to的不定式。现在分词往往强调动作正在发生,用于叙述中时使人身临其境;不定式则可以表示动作发生了或过程结束了。有时它们之间的区别不大,可以互相替换使用。
【语法精粹】
动名词复合结构:由名词所有格或物主代词与动名词构成
动名词复合结构多作主语或宾语, 作主语时必须是所有格(名词所有格, 形容词性物主代词), 但作宾语时可以用所有格, 也可用普通格(人称代词宾格)
His leaving is a great loss. 他的离去是一个很大的损失
Mother dislikes my(me) working late. 妈妈不喜欢我工作很迟
Mother dislikes my sleeping late.
John's having seen her did not make her worried.
约翰已经见到她的事实, 没有让她感到担心
后面可以接动词-ing的词:介词;某些动词,如avoid, enjoy, finish, It is no use, prevent sb from, fancy, imagine, escape, risk, allow,deny, appreciate, complete, delay, mind, practice, resent, risk, suggest, permit…
insist on doing, persist in doing, persevere in doing, give up doing
某些词加逻辑主语是,要用不定式作宾语,如:
allow+doing sth.(动名词作宾语) ;allow sb. to do sth.(不定式作宾语)
advise sb. to do sth. ;advise doing sth.
这类动词常见如:advise,allow,permit,recommend, etc.
