接動名詞作賓語的動詞

英語中有些動詞後接另一個動詞作賓語時，用作賓語的動詞習慣上要用不定式，不用動名詞，這類動詞主要admit(承認), advise(建議), allow(允許), appreciate(感激), avoid(避免), consider(考慮), delay(推遲), discuss(討論), dislike(不喜歡), enjoy(喜愛), escape(逃脫), excuse(原諒), fancy(沒想到), finish(完成), forbid(禁止), forgive(原諒), give up(放棄), imagine(想象), keep(保持), mention(提及), mind(介意), miss(沒趕上), pardon(原諒), permit(允許), practise(練習), prevent(阻止), put off(推遲), report(報告), resist(忍住), risk(冒險), stop(停止), suggest(建議), understand(理解)等。如：

She admitted having read the letter. 她承認看過這封信。

We don't allow smoking on this plane. 在這架飛機上我們不允許抽菸。

I appreciate being given this opportunity. 非常感謝給了我這個機會。

He dyed his beard to avoid being recognized. 他染了衚子，以免我們認出他來。

Whenever I mention playing football, he says he's too busy. 我一跟他提踢足球的事，他就說太忙。

I can't understand neglecting children like that. 對孩子那樣毫不經心，我不能理解。

注意：有些動詞如allow, advise, permit和forbid等，後接動詞要用動名詞，不用不定式，但如果它們後麪跟有賓語，則可以在賓語後可接不定式。比較：

Would you advise phoning, or shall I wait a bit longer? 你看我打電話好，還是我再等一會兒好?

Would you advise me to phone, or shall I wait a bit longer? 你看我打電話好，還是我再等一會兒好?
