【分析讲解】 本句是V-ing作主语,表示一般的行为。另外,动词不定式to do也可以用来作主语,表示具体的行为,通常表示将来的行为,但这种用法在非正式文体中很少见,常用it 作先行主语,而把动词不定式放在后面。如:
Taking care of children is her full-time job.
照看孩子是她的专职工作。(一般行为)
It is quite necessary to read this article many times.
多读几次这篇课文是完全必要的。
(具体行为)
动词不定式和V-ing作主语的这种区别也适用于作表语的情况。如:
Her job is taking care of children.
她的工作是照看小孩。
(一般行为)
Our plan is to finish the work in three months.
我们的计划是三个月后完成这项工作。
(具体行为)
【温馨提示】 课文中的“He also told us that the best way to earn respect from the school was to work hard and achieve high grades. (P2)”是不是能够自己解释了呢?
这也是一个非常实用的句型哦,看看还能用在哪些情景中?
