Question:
请问Listening to music at home is one thing, going to hear it _________ (perform) live is quite another.这句话里perform的形式用performed可以吗？正确答案是being performed。

alexcwlin comments:

其实虽然 "to hear it perform" 和"to hear it being performed" 同样是正确.

但Google 下:

a.       "to hear it perform" 有6,690,000 hits;

b.      "to hear it being performed" 只是 28,300 hits.

"Hear it perform" 中 "perform" 是“bare infinitive" (不带to的不定式)

如果我选择，我会选择"to hear it perform".

谈及 “hear it perform” 和 “hear it being performed” 同样是正确。

注意这里的 “perform” 不是动词，而是修饰作用的”不带to的不定式”. 大多数人会说 “perform” 是形容词性质修饰 “it”说及它是 “perform”, 但说它是副词性质修饰 “hear” 表示听到”perform”也合理。

只是单用 “performed” 没有 “being” 是不对的。
