会玩计算机游戏英语,英语口语表达：他整天就只会玩计算机游戏

常见英文错误：All he does is playing computer games.

今天要讲的这个常见错误是英文有相当程度的人才容易犯的。很多人知道要把一个动词当作名词使用时，必须把动词加 ing

变成一个叫动名词的东西才行

所以若要表达他整天就只会玩计算机游戏这个句子时

就很容易讲或写出标题中的 All he does is playing computer games.

乍看之下在 be 动词后面接动名词似乎是很合理的，问题出在前面当作主语的从句中有个 do，使它成为一个特殊句型

要讲某人做的事就只有……时，在be 动词后面必须接原形动词才对

这在一般的英语语法中是个大忌，但偏偏这个句型非如此不可

比如：All I did yesterday was sleep. (我昨天一整天都在睡觉。)

如果讲 All I did yesterday was sleeping. 反而是错的

或是 All he has done is lie to people who love

him.

(他所做的就只有对爱他的人说谎。)

讲 All he has done is lying to people who love him. 反而是错的

再举一例：All I want to do is stay in bed. (我想做的事就只有待在床上。)

讲 All I want to do is staying in bed. 也是错的

不过要注意的是，如果把后面的事情反过来当主词的话

则还是要用动名词才行

比如还是要说：Sleeping was all I did yesterday.

Lying to people who love him is all he has done.

Staying in bed is all I want to do.
