动名词复合结构
【原句展示】 easier to miss. (P10)
划线部分都是动名词复合结构，分别在句中作主语。动名词的复合结构一般有四种形式：
1．形容词性物主代词 ＋ 动名词。例如：
Your going there will help a lot.
你到那里去将能帮上大忙。
2．名词所有格 ＋ 动名词。例如：
We are looking forward to the expert’s coming to give a speech to us. 我们正盼望着那位专家来给我们演讲。
3. 宾格代词 ＋ 动名词。例如：
Do you mind me opening the door?
您介意我把门打开吗？
4．名词 ＋ 动名词。例如：
Can you hear the noise of the machine running? 你能听到机器运转的噪音吗？ 动名词之前的代词或名词称为该动名词的逻辑主语。动名词的复合结构可在句中作主语、宾语或表语。动名词复合结构在句中作主语时，逻辑主语通常使用名词的所有格或形容词性物主代词；如果名词是表示无生命的事物时，不用名词所有格。当动名词复合结构在句中作宾语时，逻辑主语可以用各种形式。例如：Do you mind my / me / Harry’s / Harry leaving now?
