英语动名词和现在分词的相同之处和区别 相同之处：它们都是由动词变化而成的，它们都保留了动词的某些特征，它们都能带自己的宾语、状语，而构成动名词短语或是现在分词短语去担当句子成分。 Speaking in the public, he will surely be very cheerful.（现在分词短语，作状语） 能做演讲，他肯定很开心。 She hates speaking in the public.（动名词短语，作宾语） 她讨厌做演讲。 区别： 1）动名词和现在分词都可以用于系动词之后作表语，区别方法是： a. 作表语的动名词与主语指的是同一件事,此时系动词相当于“是”，通常把主语和表语的位置互换，语法和意思不变。 My hobby is swimming.可改为：Swimming is my hobby. 我的爱好是游泳。 b. 现在分词作表语主要用以说明主语的性质,不能与主语互换位置,例如: The story is interesting.不可改为：Interesting is the story. 这个故事很有趣。 新概念英语mp3下载 新概念英语听力资源 新概念英语听力下载 2）动名词和现在分词都可以用作定语来修饰名词，区别在于：动名词修饰名词时主要表示该名词的用途，而现在分词修饰名词时表性质、状态或动作等。比较：  a swimming boy 一个正在游泳的男孩，即a boy who is swimming，现在分词swimming 表示被修饰名词boy的动作。 a swimming suit 游泳衣，即a suit for swimming，动名词swimming表示suit 的用途。 Years ago, a critical event occurred in my life that would change it forever.
