我们经常使用动名词做主语,但是动名词短语可不可以放在倒装句呢?
“there be + no + doing” 是“There be 句型” 的一种特殊句式。如果承认 “There be + 名词...” 是倒装结构,那么,动名词作真正主语,也是倒装结构。我觉得,知道怎么用、有哪些动词可以这样用、表达什么意义,就可以了,不要追究它是不是倒装结构。
“there be + no doing”的基本含义是“不可能做某事”,是说话者对未来某事件是否发生的一种判断,而且这种判断是否定的,有时,则表示“不许可”之意。此外,doing是动名词,名词和动词兼而有之,它有动词的意思(可以接宾语,可以有状语修饰,按动词翻译),又有名词的作用(作句子的主语,而且用no 修饰,正是因为动名词作主语表单数意义,所以我们说There is,不说There are)。常见的表达,归纳如下:
