課文詳注 Further notes on the text
    1.I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me. 我穿過馬路以便避開他,但他看到我并朝我跑過來。
    (1)avoid 以及本課中出現(xiàn)的 enjoy, fancy, mind, finish等動詞后面只跟名詞性的賓語,即只跟名詞或動名詞:
    They managed to avoid a car crash/crashing their car into the wall.
    他們設法躲過了一起汽車撞車事故/避免了將車撞在墻上。
    (2)running 引導的是分詞短語,作狀語,修飾 came,表示伴隨狀況:
    She ran after the thief shouting out for help.
    她一邊追趕小偷,一邊大聲喊叫求助。
    2.It was no use pretending that I had not seen him…若再裝做沒看見他已是沒有用了……
    這句話中,it是先行主語,真正的主語是 pretending 引導的動名詞短語。It is (of) no use doing…是個固定結構(其中的 of可省略),表示“做……也是徒勞的/無益的”:
    It is (of) no use worrying about your family.
    為你的家人擔心是無益的。
    3.No matter how busy you are…不管你多忙……
    no matter可與疑問詞 (how, who, when, where, what等)一起引導讓步從句,表示“無論”:
    No matter where you go, you can't forget your home.
    無論你到哪里,都無法忘記自己的家。
    No matter what I say, I seem to say the wrong thing.
    無論我說什么,都似乎說得不當。
    4.I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning. 我得想辦法不讓他整個上午纏著我。
    think of在這里的含義是“想出”, way在這里表示“辦法”, a way of后面的部分用于修飾 way。prevent表示“阻止/制止”時其常用結構為 prevent sb. from doing sth., from可以省略:
    I can't prevent you from going if you want to.
    你如果想去,我無法阻止。
    5.You're not busy doing anything, are you? 你不忙,是吧?
    這是一個附加疑問句,又稱反意疑問句,是由陳述句后面加簡略疑問句構成。陳述句如果是肯定的,則附加疑問句通常用否定形式;陳述句如果是否定的,則附加的疑問句用肯定形式。陳述句中有助動詞時,附加疑問句重復其中的助動詞;如果沒有,則用do的各種形式構成:
    John was angry, wasn't he?
    約翰生氣了,不是嗎?(肯定式+否定式)
    He hasn't left, has he?
    他沒走,是嗎?(否定式+肯定式)
    I can see him, can't I?
    我可以見他,不是嗎?(情態(tài)助動詞作助動詞)
    You like it, don't you?
    你喜歡它,不是嗎?(沒有助動詞時加do)
    6.Would you mind my coming with you? 我跟你一道去行嗎?
    (1)Would/ Do you mind…? 是一個用來表示客氣的請求或征求意見的結構,其中可以用if引導的從句或動名詞結構。表示“同意/不介意”時,用“No, not at all”或“Certainly not”來回答;不同意時往往用一些委婉的說法,如“ I'm sorry, but…”等回答,不用“yes, I do”:
    (2)如果動名詞的動作執(zhí)行者與句子的主語不一致時,它前面可以加所有格形容詞或賓格代詞,作為動名詞的邏輯主語(cf. 本課語法):
    I hope you won't mind my staying here.
    我希望你不介意我呆在這兒。
    語法 Grammar in use
    動名詞的一些用法
    (1)在第20課的語法中,我們學習了動名詞的基本形式和作用,在第44課的語法中,我們學習了動名詞用于某些短語動詞
    (look forward to, be used to等)之后、一些表示喜好的動詞(hate, love, prefer等)之后不定式與動名詞的區(qū)別以及 need 和want之后動名詞的用法等:
    I like watching TV.
    我喜歡看電視。(一般行為)
    I'd like to watch TV.
    我(現(xiàn)在)想看電視。(特定)
    The strap needs mending.
    這提包帶需要修理。(動名詞在這里有被動的含義)
    (2)有些動詞后可以用動名詞作賓語,但不能用不定式。這些動詞包括 avoid, admit, deny, fancy, finish, enjoy, mind(在乎,在意),suggest, stand(容忍)等:
    I tried to avoid meeting him.
    我試圖避開他。
    I never enjoy meeting Nigel Dykes.
    我就怕遇到奈杰爾·戴克斯。
    I haven't finished speaking yet.
    我還沒有說完。
    (3)有些結構通常要接動名詞,如 busy, worth, it is no/little use, bored with, interested in, insist on, prevent…from等:
    I'm busy making meat pies.
    我正忙著做肉餡餅。
    A Lancaster bomber in reasonable condition is worth rescuing.
    一架狀況尚好的蘭開斯特轟炸機值得搶救。
    He insisted on paying.
    他堅持要付錢。
    I'm interested in acting.
    我對表演感興趣。
    (4)動名詞可以有自己的邏輯主語(即動作執(zhí)行者,而不是句子的主語):
    He insisted on my paying the bill.
    他堅持要我付賬。
    I don't think the children enjoy your/his/John's singing.
    我不認為孩子們喜歡你/他/約翰唱的歌。
    Please excuse his not writing to you.
    請原諒他沒有給你寫信。
    Do you mind my smoking?
    我可以抽煙嗎?
    Do you mind opening/my opening the door?
    你/我可以開門嗎?
    (5)come和go之后可以跟與戶外活動相關的動名詞(climbing, driving, fishing, riding, shopping, walking等),表示建議、邀請或敘事:
    Why don't we go swimming?
    為什么我們不去游泳呢?
    Come dancing this evening.
    今晚來跳舞吧。
    Yesterday we went fishing.
    昨天我們去釣魚了。
    (6)感知動詞(hear, see, feel, watch等)后面既可以跟賓語加分詞結構,也可以跟賓語加不帶to的不定式。現(xiàn)在分詞往往強調動作正在發(fā)生,用于敘述中時使人身臨其境;不定式則可以表示動作發(fā)生了或過程結束了。有時它們之間的區(qū)別不大,可以互相替換使用。試比較:
    I watched him climb/climbing the tree.
    我看到他爬樹了。(區(qū)別不大)
