动名词也可以有自己的逻辑主语
就是在动名词短语前面加上物主代词或名词的所有格。
带逻辑主语的动名词短语可做主语,宾语,表语等。在非正式文体当中,经常把物主代词简化为宾格人称代词,把名词所有格简化为名词。例如:
I insisted on his (him) going to the cinema with me. 我坚持要他和我一起去看电影。
I can hardly imagine Peter(Peter’s) sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in five days. 我简直不能想象彼得会在五天内横渡大西洋。
Linda’s coming will do you good.(主语) 林达的到来对你有好处。
What made him angry was their (them) laughing.(表语)使他生气的是他们笑。
