英语:动词+doing sth.和动词+to do sth.的区别在哪里?

to

do

一般表示将来时,doing一般表示过去或者现在正在做的比如说stop

doing

sth.

stop

to

do

sth.doing

表示正在做的,翻译成:停止手中正在做的事to

do

表示去做某事(将来)

翻译成:

停止手中的是,去做某事

这个问题其实说起来也简单也复杂,要想把to

do和doing解释清楚,必须把它们的理论源头解释清楚,to

do逻辑时间为将来,就是将去做某事是一个概念,比如将干某事是好事,而doing也是个类名词,也是一个概念,但是时间可能是过去、现在和将来。比如like

to

do和like

doing都是表示爱好,为什么?因为to

do和doing都是概念,所以从大的方面讲肯定是爱好,但是意境却有点区别,前者没有后者形象,所以我们表示爱好的时候一般都用后者。而很多人把to

do解释为一次性动作是不可取的。他们先说都表示爱好,然后说to

do表示一次性动作,一次性动作能表示爱好?!真是拿自己的矛戳自己的盾。再比如remember

to

do表示记住去做某事,时间为将来。remember

doing表示做过后悔了,时间为过去。

一般情况下,to

do

是一般将来式,是打算去做什么

;doing

是现在进行式,是现在正在做什么,也有例外,具体情况具体分析。

下面是有关该问题的习题讲解,希望有所帮助。

to

have

rested

B.

resting

C.

to

rest

D.

rest

答案:C。由题意可知,她到了山顶,停下来在一个路边的大石头上休息。因此,应选择"stop

to

do

sth.

停下来去做另一件事"。而不仅仅是爬山动作的终止,所以stop

doing

sth.不正确。

答案:C。由the

doing

sth表示灯已经关上了,而自己忘记了这一事实。此处不符合题意。
