牛津?qū)嵱糜⒄Z語法:98 介詞后的動(dòng)名詞
A 前面第89節(jié)中已經(jīng)提到過，緊接在介詞后的動(dòng)詞必須用動(dòng)名詞形式：
He left without paying his bill.
他沒有付賬就走了。
I apologize for not writing before.
我此前未能寫信，謹(jǐn)表歉意。
She insisted on paying for herself.
她堅(jiān)持要付她自己的那一份錢。
Before signing the contract，read the small print.
在簽署合約以前，請?jiān)斪x小號(hào)字印出的內(nèi)容。
還請注意某些名詞+介詞+動(dòng)名詞結(jié)構(gòu)：
Theres no point in taking your car if you cant park.
如果那里不能停放車子的話，你開車去就沒多大意思了。
Whats the point of taking your car if you cant park?
如果無處停放車子，你開車去還有什么意思呢?
Is there any chance/likelihood of his changing his mind?
他有可能改變主意嗎?
Have you any objection to changing your working hours?
你反不反對(duì)改變你的工作時(shí)間?
I am in favour of giving everyone a day off.
我贊同給大家放一天假。
B 介詞后面必須帶動(dòng)詞的動(dòng)名詞形式，這一規(guī)則的唯一例外是except和but(介詞)。在它們后面帶動(dòng)詞原形：
I could do nothing except agree.
我除了同意，沒有別的辦法。
He did nothing but complain.
他只是抱怨，什么也不做。
但是如果but用做連詞，即如果它引導(dǎo)從句，它的后面就可直接跟完整的不定式或動(dòng)名詞：
Being idle sometimes is agreeable，but being idle all the time might become monotonous.
有時(shí)清閑無事是令人愜意的，但總是閑呆著就可能變得單調(diào)乏味了。
To be idle sometimes is agreeable，but to be idle all the time(譯文同上。)
