tiring of sth 和 feeling/being tired of sth 辨析?

Meanwhile he had never ceased to work at his art; but, soon tiring of the studios, entirely by himself. He had never been so poor that he could not buy canvas and paint, and really he needed nothing else. So far as I could make out, he painted with great difficulty, and in his unwillingness to accept help from anyone lost much time in finding out for himself the solution of technical problems which preceding generations had already worked out one by one. He was aiming at something, I knew not what, and perhaps he hardly knew himself; and I got again more strongly the impression of a man possessed. He did not seem quite sane. It seemed to me that he would not show his pictures because he was really not interested in them. He lived in a dream, and the reality meant nothing to him. I had the feeling that he worked on a canvas with all the force of his violent personality, oblivious of everything in his effort to get what he saw with the mind's eye; and then, having finished, not the picture perhaps, for I had an idea that he seldom brought anything to completion, but the passion that fired him, he lost all care for it. He was never satisfied with what he had done; it seemed to him of no consequence compared with the vision that obsessed his mind.

上面出现的 soon tiring of the studios 这是现在分词表结果状语吗? 这里如果说成soon feeling tired of 或soon being tired of the studios,可以吗?为什么呢?

你提问时给出句子的上下文,这很好,有助于老师根据上下文更准确的判断。但如果上下文比较长,篇幅较大时,你应该把有问题的句子标黑,以便老师很快找到句子的所在。

你的问题其实只要你查一下词典,自己就能解决问题的。要学会自己解决学习中的问题,养成一个好习惯,同时提高自己的学习能力。

作为动词,表示疲倦、使疲倦这个意义时,tire可以及物,可以不及物。

表示厌倦时,tire of 为不及物动词tire+介词of构成的短语动词。意为:to become bored by (something) : to stop being interested in (something)

从英英释义你就可以看出 tire of 是一个动态动词中的转态动词,表示状态的改变。而be tired of 则是系表结构,表示处于厌倦某人或某事的一种状态中。所以,表示表示状态转变这个动作,就用tire of, 表示处于这种状态,就用be tired of. 

你的句子上下文中,had never ceased to work at his art; but, soon tiring of the studios 前面说never ceased to do sth, 紧接着soon ... 这显然是说明状态的改变。所以你应该用动态动词的现在分词tiring of来表示转态发生改变,而不是用being tired of 表示状态的存在。这也是为什么原文用现在分词的原因所在。

在口语中,be tiring of 与 be tired of 意思相同,都可以指人厌倦某事。就网友的句子而言,用 soon feeling tired of 或 soon being tired of the studios,更符合语法,但不如 tiring of the studios 简练。

例句:

They are saying that he is tiring of playing daddy to their infant son. 他们说他厌倦于在他们的幼儿面前装扮爸爸的角色。
