19.被妈妈责备使他很沮丧.(分词作主语)Being blamed by his mother made him discouraged..分析 被妈妈责备使他很沮丧.
解答 答案:Being blamed by his mother made him discouraged.
考查动名词作主语.句子里Being blamed by his mother 是动名词做主语,表示"被妈妈责备";discouraged是形容词做宾补.
点评 考查汉译英.
主要在下面五种情况下用动名词作主语:
1)直接位于句首做主语:
Swimming is a good sport in summer.
2)it 作形式主语时把动名词(真实主语)置于句尾作后置主语.动名词做主语时,不太常用 it 作先行主语,多见于某些形容词及名词之后:
It is no use telling him not to worry.
常见的用于这种结构的形容词还有:better,wonderful,enjoyable,interesting,foolish,difficult,useless,senseless,worthwhile等.
注:important,essential,necessary 等形容词不能用于这种结构.
3)There be结构中:
There is no saying when he'll come.
很难说他什么时候回来.
4)用于布告形式的省略结构中:
No smoking=No smoking is allowed (here).
5)动名词的复合结构作主语,当动名词有自己的逻辑主语时,常在前面加上一个名词或代词的所有格,构成动名词的复合结构(这时名词或代词的所有格做动名词的逻辑主语).动名词的复合结构也可以在句中作主语:
Their coming to help was a great encouragement to us.
他们来帮助我们对我们是个极大的鼓舞.
