英语就是这样(15) 动名词（ Gerund）

倘你要对方配合你或同意某一件事，你会说：“你不介意明天早点到！” ，“你该不介意帮帮忙吧！”

英语就用上了 “ Don’t you mind coming earlier tomorrow.”，或“Won’t you mind coming earlier tomorrow?”“Don’t you mind helping me?”或“Won’t you mind helping me?”。

注意：在用 mind的时候，其接尾的是动名词（ Gerund）, 如 I don’t mind coming here again. 我不介意再次到这里来。 I think He doesn’t mind trying it again. 我想他不会介意再次尝试。

动名词（ Gerund）也可引用为形容词 (verb)

如：下雨天 raining day 洗衣机 washing machine 笑脸 smiling face 拐杖 walking stick 等等。

还有，它还可当作名词 （Noun）

工作Working, 睡觉 sleeping, 玩耍 playing, 抽烟 smoking 。它可成为主题(SUBJECT)也可成为目标(OBJECT)。

例子： (1) Working is enjoyable.

I enjoy working.

(2) Sleeping too long is no good.

Do you like sleeping ?

(3) Playing is a waste of time

I love playing.

(4) Smoking effects your health.

Please quit smoking.

动名词（ Gerund） 也有它的局限。它不可用于下例的句子：

I am liking oranges. 这句子是错应改为 I like oranges.

I was hearing the news. 这句子是错应改为 I heard the news

He was hating me. 这句子是错应改为 He hated me.

She is knowing me 这句子是错应改为 She knows me

We are loving together. 这句子是错应改为 We are in love.

上面的句子中的动名词（Gerund）都来自所谓的感觉 ( FEELING)，不可用上动名词（Gerund）吧！
