Power's been cut off to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses because California's largest utility company doesn't want its equipment sparking new fires in the windy conditions.
- 该句中,请分析want its equipment sparking - want sth doing 是什么结构,什么意思呢?
通常我们说 want sb to do sth. 但是在否定句中,当某人做某事令人恼火或带来麻烦,则可以说I don't want sb/sth doing sth。
《朗文》对这种用法的解释如下:
You say I don’t want someone doing something, when this is annoying or causes problems:
I don’t want other people telling me how to spend my money.
You can also say:
I don’t want other people to tell me how to spend my money.
网友的句子正是这种用法。doing换成不定式也是正确的。
我认为don't want sb doing sth 为动名词复合结构作宾语,而不是现在分词作宾补。(提示:doing的动作时间与谓语时间的相对关系。)
