Beingdone的用法涉及动名词(gerund)和现在分词(thepresentparticiple)两种。动名词的被动式在句子中充当主语、宾语和表语等,其功能相当于名词或代词;现在分词的被动式在句子中充当状语、定语等。部分中学生由于概念不清,不知道其内涵,在使用beingdone时常常出错,就其用法归纳如下:
1.动名词的被动式有两种:being+过去分词;havingbeen+过去分词。“havingbeen+过去分词”就是“being+过去分词”的完成体。例如:
1)每个人都喜欢得到赞美。
Everybodylikes____________.(Key:beingpraised)
2)在班上被嘲笑使得他恼羞成怒。
___________intheclassmadehimangry.(Key:Beinglaughedat)
3)我记得曾经听过这故事。
Iremember____________thestory.(Key:havingbeenheard)
2.在need/want/require(需要)和beworth(值得)等词后面,动名词的主动形式表示被动意义。例如:
1)这件事需要调查。
Thematterrequires__________.(Key:beinglookedinto)
=Thematterrequirestobelookedinto.
2)这本书值得一读。
Thebookisworth__________.(Key:reading)
=Thebookisworthyofbeingread.
2.现在分词的被动式。
现在分词的被动式也有两种:being+过去分词(强调事情正在发生),通常在句子中作定语和状语。having+been+过去分词(强调事情已经发生),通常在句子中作状语。例如:
1)她正接受提问,感到有点紧张。
________toanswerthequestion,shefeltalittlenervous.(Key:Beingasked)
2)这么好的机会给了你,你怎么能一点也不珍惜呢?
__________suchagoodchance,howcouldyounotvalueitatall?(Key:Havingbeengiven)
作定语时,“being+过去分词”表示正在进行的动作;havingbeendone表示过去或已经完成的动作;tobedone表示将要发生的动作。例如:
3)正在建造的房屋,完工后将用作我们的图书馆。
Thehouse_______willbeourlibraryuponitscompletion.(Key:beingbuilt)
