The plane crash resulted in people being killed.

【翻译】飞机坠毁导致人员死亡。

网友想问的可能是：在resulted in 后面为何使用people being killed？

这是“动名词复合结构”，也叫“含有逻辑主语的动名词短语”。

这种结构，有时候逻辑主语和动名词缺一不可，否则句意不清，例如：

The plane crash resulted in people.（误）

The plane crash resulted in being killed. （误）

The plane crash resulted in people being killed.（正）

“动名词的复合结构”，作及物动词或介词的宾语，其意义在于：它不仅说明了动作本身，而且附加了该动作的施事者，传达出的信息是：一个带有“主谓结构”的事件。

网友的句子，是介词后跟“动名词的复合结构”。下面，我再举一些介词后跟“动名词复合结构”的例句，仔细体会：
