接不定式与动名词意义相同的动词
一、归纳
后接不定式和动名词意思基本相同的动词主要有attempt(试图),begin(开始),bother(麻烦),can’t bear(忍受不了),cease(停止),continue(继续),hate(讨厌),intend(想要),like(喜欢),love(喜欢),prefer(宁愿),propose(建议),start(开始)等。如:
Do you like playing (to play) chess? 你喜欢下棋吗?
He can’t bear travelling (to travel) by sea. 他坐不了海船。
I propose making (to make) a change in the plan. 我建议把计划作些改动。
Don’t bother to get (getting) dinner for me. 请不必费事为我做饭了。
He continued reading (to read) when I spoke to him. 我同 他说话时,他仍在继续阅读。
二、注意
1. 在begin, cease, continue或start的进行式后面通常要用不定式,而不用动名词,因为两个-ing形式的重复听起来别扭。如:
He was beginning to recover when he had another attack. 他正在开始恢复时,突然病又发作了。
2. 当 like, love, hate, prefer 与 would, should 连用时,其后只能接不定式。如:
I’d hate to disturb him if he’s busy. 如果他忙,我就不想打扰他了。
If you would like to come I’ll get a ticket for you. 如果你想来,我就给你弄一张票。
