The Passive Form of the Gerund 动名词的被动语态表示被动的含义 What is the use of only being praised? My father doesn’t like being asked to make a speech. I don’t mind having been written like this. He resents being called a fool. 动名词被动语态一般式与现在分词被动语态一般式同形，但无进行意义，being不可省略。如： She is afraid of being taken to the public. 她怕被领到大众面前。比较：主动语态动名词表被动含义。当want(需要), need(需要), require(需要), deserve(应得), merit(应得), bear(适于，经得起), be past(无法，不能), be wroth(值得) 表示括号内的中文意义时，后接主动形式的动名词，表示被动的含义。 His car wants repairing ( = to be repaired). The wall needs mending( = to be mended). The tree required trimming( = to be trimmed). He deserves hanging( = to be hanged). You certainly merit praising ( = to be praised). Your joke bears repeating.= Your joke is fit to be repeated. The car is past repairing. This book is worth reading.= This book is worthy to be read.=This book is worthy of being read. 如果动名词的逻辑主语为动名词所表示的动作的承受者，动名词要用被动语态，动名词的被动语态有一 般式与完成式之分。如： The young man came in without being noticed. He prided himself on having never been beaten in class. 有些动词后的动名词用主动形式，但表示被动意义。如： The bike needs repairing. If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. 用动词的适当形式填空 1.NO SMOKING should ______（see）in the stores even in many parts of the city. （2006年甘肃兰州） 2.The Olympic Games ______（hold）in Beijing in 2008.（2006年四川自贡） 3. —Bird flu(禽流感)is still very serious in some countries. —Yes.
