上文中我們說到復雜介詞+名詞的情況,通過了解,我們已經(jīng)知道介詞的一些復雜形式,在遇到介詞+名詞時我們能夠很快地識別并進行刪減。但是不是介詞后面只有名詞形式才能進行刪減呢?不是的。下面我們就來講一講介詞+動名詞的情況。
動名詞其實也算是另一種形式的名詞,但動名詞后面一般會帶賓語,連同動名詞一起做名詞成分。
比如:I learned a new language by reading a book.句子中reading a book 是動名詞+ 賓語共同做by 這個介詞后面的名詞成分,所以在進行刪節(jié)時不要只把by reading 去掉,而是將reading a book 一起刪去。這個句子就變成了I learned a new language.
現(xiàn)在讓我們做一下練習吧!
1.The little girl got happy after seeing the new toy.
2.He focused his attention on reading a novel during the long voyage.
3.I have difficulty in finishing my task so Jim helped me with it.
4.He won the first prize by beating the opponent on the field.
5.He went nowhere due to wandering in the street.
