动名词,指的是动词ing形式的一种,兼有动词和名词特征的非限定动词(即非谓语动词)。
动名词的否定形式
一、动名词一般式的否定式
动名词一般式的否定式是将直接否定词not置于动名词之前。如:
Not being punctual makes him unreliable.不准时使人觉得他不可靠。
Not being tall is not a serious disadvantage in life.个子不高不是人生中的严重缺陷。
He said he so much regretted not being able to swim.他说他对不会游泳感到非常遗憾。
0ur problem is not having sufficient raw material.我们的问题是原料不足。
二、动名词完成式的否定式
若动名词为完成式,否定词not应置于整个结构之前。如:
Don't be angry with me for not having written.我没给你写信请别生我的气。
Excuse me not having answered your letter before.没有更早回信请原谅。
I apologize for not having kept my promise.我没遵守诺言向你表示歉意。
三、动名词被动式的否定式
若动名词为被动式,否定词not应置于整个结构之前。如:
He doesn't like not being taken seriously.他不喜欢被人不严肃对待。
As far as he's concerned,it's not doing something wrong that matters,but not being caught doing something wrong,就他而论,重要的不是做错事,而是做错事不被抓住。
四、动名词带逻辑主语时的的否定式
若动名词带有逻辑主语,则否定词应置于逻辑主语之后。如:
I'm surprised at your not having noticed.你竟未注意到我感到吃惊。
I never dreamt of its hurting you.我没想它会伤你的心。
I depend on your coming at seven o'cloc k.我指靠你七点钟来。
They won't hear of you(r)going.他们不会同意你去。
They're looking forward to Mary's coming.他们盼望玛丽来。
I understand your not wanting to discuss the matter.我理解你为什么不愿讨论这件事。
The trouble was their not being able to agree among themselves.麻烦的是他们自己不能取得一致的意见。
Jenny's not having been trained as a dancer is her one regret.杰妮没受过舞蹈的专业训练是她感到遗憾的事。
