非谓语动词done和being done辨析

The man kept his eyes ____ on his baby for quite some time.

A fixed   B being fixed

请问这里为何用A ,非谓语动词做宾语不是只能用to do 或 doing 吗?

The man kept his eyes ____ on his baby for quite some time.

A fixed   B being fixed

要解决网友这个问题,需要从 keep 的用法谈起。涉及到本句,keep 有两个句型需要讲:

keep + 宾语 + doing

keep + 宾语 + adj.

(纠正一下网友这个说法:非谓语动词做宾语。这里,his eyes 是宾语,现在分词或形容词作宾补)

语法规则是:在现在分词或形容词作宾补都允许的情况下,我们直接用形容词作宾补,而不用 “being + 形容词” 作宾补。这是语言追求简练的基本要求。例如:

We found him lying on the floor. (正)

We found him very excited.(正)

我们不说:

We found him being very excited.(误)

又如:

They kept him working all day.(正)

They kept him busy all day.(正)

我们不说:

They kept him being busy all day.(误)

同理:

The man kept his eyes moving for quite some time.(正)

The man kept his eyes fixed on his baby for quite some time.(正)

我们不说:

The man kept his eyes being fixed on his baby for quite some time.(误)

这种问题,涉及词汇的语义层次,也涉及惯用的层次

但研究完,发现结果就是一个表达式:keep sth done

一般人记住这个“表达式”,简明而实用,也就那么回事而已。


Petra ran.

什么意思?

他到达了某个目标地,到了终极目的地么?

他用了场合性时间,但他用完了话题(即跑到终点)时间么?


The door is closed.

门关上了。具有终结性。用术语是telicity得以实现

The door is being closed. 

什么意思?

比较上面ran的例子。


... kept his eyes fixed/being fixed on...

比较上面closed/being closed的例子


----------------------------

一个类似的问题是,

可以说,Her eyes fixed on the opposite wall. (fixed是过去式, 不及物)

那么照理,随之而来的分词形式是,

Her eyes fixing on the opposite wall. (fixing不及物动词的v-ing)

即理论上v-ing 也没毛病


但实际上fixing的这个例子其实没什么人用,即不符合惯用法。

ALD第4、8版收入的fix (on/upon), 作为不及物动词, 都没有“固定眼神”之类的东西


kept his eyes fixed on...(√)

kept his eyes fixing on... (不符合惯用)

kept his eys being fixed... (语义不明)

    keep one's eyes fixed [locked] on ...目不转睛地看..., 盯着...看 (摘自《外研社英汉多功能词典》p.738)

    

The man kept his eyes ____ on his baby for quite some time.

A fixed   B being fixed

   答案是 A fixed  。这里的 fixed 是过去分词作 kept 的宾语(his eyes)补足语,不是作宾语。
