动名词具有名词属性,无论主动式还是被动式,都可以作主语。

但是,动名词表达“一个事件”,不是“一件东西”,也就是说:它指“一件事”,而不是“一个物品”。例如:

Getting up early is a good habit.

Being loved is a kind of happiness.

我们不能说:

Getting up early is a good note.

Being loved is a kind of tree.

分析句子,首先看句子意思;内容决定形式,句子意思决定句子结构。

网友的句子是说:系在礼品上的是一个“留言”。也就是说:“留言”是件东西,被系在礼品上。由于主语太长,这是一个倒装句,正常语序为:

A note (为了好理解,定语从句略去)was attatched to the gift.

Attached(表语)//to the gift(状语)// was(系动词)// a note(主语)// on which he expressed his appreciation for our help(修饰主语定语从句).

参考译文:附在礼物上的是一张纸条,他对我们的帮。 

A. Being attached   

B. Attaching        

C. Attached          

D. Having attached

以上分词作表语前置用法

Attached to the gift was a note on which he expressed his appreciation for our help. 

=A note on which he expressed his appreciation for our help was attached to the gift 

参考译文:一张他对我们的帮助表示感谢的纸条附在/贴在礼物上

主语:A note

定语从句:on which he expressed his appreciation for our help

系动词:was

表语:attached 

状语:to the gift

你对句子结构的理解是错误的。

这是一个完全倒装句。主句为a note。因为主语带了一个很长的定语从句,为了避免句子头重脚轻,主语后移到句末,表语前置于句首。attached to the gift为过去分词短语作表语。

动名词being attached to the gift作主语表示一种行为或动作,和note并不是同一个概念,为逻辑错误。
