but 可以修饰动名词吗

 "Well, to begin with, Hughie," said Trevor, "It never entered my mind that you went about giving money away in that careless manner. I can understand your kissing a pretty model, but your giving money to an ugly one -, no! Besides, when you came in I didn't know whether Hausberg would like his name mentioned. 

1. but 是转折副词修饰动名词吗?your giving money to an ugly one 还是做understand的宾语吗?

2. 动名词可以用副词还是形容词修饰?

I can understand your kissing a pretty model, but your giving money to an ugly one -, no!

but在此为并列连词,表示转折。并不是修饰动名词复合结构。其表达的意思是but your giving money to an ugly on, I can't understand it at all. but连接并列句,动名词短语为左偏置结构,其强调作用,在第二分句中用it指代。偏置结构主要用于口语。

动名词为动词性结构,通常被副词修饰,不能用形容词修饰。如果一个doing形式被形容词修饰,这个doing是名词化的动名词,不可后接宾语。例如:

I hate his quick talking. 名词化的动名词,被形容词修饰。

I hate his talking qucikly. 动名词,别副词修饰。

I liked his nice playing of the piano. (正确。名词化的动名词被形容词修饰,宾语由介词of引出)

I liked his nice playing the piano. (错误。形容词修饰的是名词化的动名词,不可后接宾语。要么改为副词修饰,要么宾语由介词of引出。)

I liked his playing the piano nicely. (正确)
