问题描述

动名词(或不定式短语)短语含有频率副词,请问放在什么地方? 例如:

To walk often can make us happy.

还是:

To often walk can make us happy.

还是:

Often to walk can make us happy.

老师答疑

好老师：

English Expert的回答：Mainframe computers were very large indeed,often occupying whole air-conditioned rooms,employing full-time technicians and run on specially-written software.这题如何理解.

动名词和动词不定式都具有名词特性，因此作主语时，频度副词位置也遵循以上规则。

以上句子中属于非正式文体中用法，句子没有倒装，放在句首起加强语气作用。

我的理解：

这个句子来自《新概念英语》第三册第51课

English Expert: 你是不是疏忽大意啦？这个句子根本没有动名词啊。occupying 和employing 是现在分词啊。我想依您的水平不会出现这种低级错误，肯定是疏忽。您再仔细看看，看我说的对不对。

我提供一个书上的译文，感觉不错，如下：计算机主机确实很大，常常占据了装有空调的多间房间，雇用专职的技师，而且得用专门编写的软件才能运行。

陈老师：

动名词(或不定式短语)短语含有频率副词,请问放在什么地方例如:To walk often can make us happy .还是To often walk....还是often to walk...

解答如下：

表示频率的频度副词一般放在，行为动词前面，系动词，助动词/情态动词后面。（备注，有时候还可以放在句末。）

To walk can often make us happy.(为正确表达）

A:放在行为动词前面。

I often take my children to play in the park.
我经常带我的孩子们去公园玩。

我哥哥经常无故责备我。

These types of dogs often have eye problems.
这种狗的眼睛好多都有毛病。

They often went carolling at Christmas.
他们在圣诞节时常去挨门挨户地唱圣诞颂歌。

I often go swimming in summer.
夏天我经常去游泳。

We often go there.
我们常去那儿。

B:放在助动词后面，行为动词/过去分词前面。

I have often heard that he is the smartest person in the government.
我常听人说,他是政府里最聪明的人。

We have often been there.
我们经常在那里。

C：放在系动词后面。

D:有时候(句子很短)还可以放在句末。

他不常喝醉。

E:(为了加强语气或者对比)还可以放在句首，使用倒装结构。

Often did we warn them not to do so.
我们曾多次警告他们不要这么做。

Often had I intended to speak of it.
我常想说说这件事。

(备注：在非正式语体中often放在句首也可不倒装。)

Often Tom doesn't take medicine, but sometimes he does.

汤姆有时不肯服药,有时肯服药。

继续跟踪解答如下

如果频率副词在出现在动名词呢?

Mainframe computers were very large indeed,often occupying whole air-conditioned rooms,employing full-time technicians and run on specially-written software.这题如何理解.

=Mainframe computers were very large indeed and often occupied whole air-conditioned rooms,employing full-time technicians and run on specially-written software

动名词和动词不定式都具有名词特性，因此作主语时，频度副词位置也遵循以上规则。

以上句子中属于非正式文体中用法，句子没有倒装，放在句首起加强语气作用。

参考译文：大型计算机的确非常庞大，经常占据整个带有空调的房间，雇佣全职的技术人员去运行为它专门写的软件。

(特别备注：以上occupying为现在分词作伴随状语。不是动名词，often 放在现在分词前面表示强调.）

(备注：现在分词作伴随状语，其逻辑主语为句子的主语“mainframe computer”.)
