Our task now is to develop our economy.我们的任务是发展经济.
有时两者都可以用,没有什么差别.
例如:What she likes is watching the children play.(=What she likes is to watch the children play.)她喜欢的是看孩子们玩.
■分词做表语
首先做一些练习
1.The situation is____(encourage).
2.The door remained____(lock)when he came again.
答案:1.encouraging 2.locked
总结:surprise,interest,excite,puzzle,disappoint,astonish,encourage,inspire,shock,move 等及物动词用做表语时,要看其与主语的关系。如果与主语为主动关系,则用-ing形式,表示主语的特征。如果是被动关系,用-done这种形式,表示主语的状态。
如:The news astonished us.这句话就表明了the news与astonish为主动关系。astonish与us为被动关系。那么就可以直接得出以下两个句子:
1)The news was astonishing.
2)We were astonished(by the news).
练习:
3.She looked_____(disappoint).
4.The news is quite___(astonish).
答案:3.disappointed 4.astonishing
有时候动词的过去分词作用在be动词之后,并非是被动语态,而是做表语表示事物存在的状态。如:
5.The bottles are broken.杯子都破了。
