________ (devote) to finding out information, the researcher forgot to sleep.
________ (occupy)in a very important experiment he would not attend the party.
请教专家,按照道理,1,2,3题主语和他们的关系都是主动的,都应该用 Devoting和Occupying但是结果不都是。个人感觉无法通过主语和从句的动词方面去解释?那请教专家,具体应该怎么去解释才好理解?谢谢!
要根据动词的用法来辨别非谓语动词用doing还是done。
devote 有三个用法:
1.sb devote sth to (doing) sth 把时间(钱,精力等)献给某事物;
2.devote oneself to sth (doing sth);
3.be devoted to sth (doing sth)
根据第一个用法,devote是sb主动发出的动作,所以
Devoting(devote) himself to finding out information, the researcher forgot to sleep.
根据第三个用法,在这里的 devoted 可以表示 sb 的状态,所以:
Devoted(devote) to finding out information, the researcher forgot to sleep.
Occupy 也有很多用法:
1.be occupied in doing sth
2.be occupied with sth
3.occupy oneself in doing sth
4.occupy oneself with sth
根据第一种用法,所以:
Occupied(occupy)in a very important experiment he would not attend the party.
