[分享] having/being该不该删?

楼主: danyuchn (Javy)   2014-01-05 20:36:56
大家在研究SC的时候,总是有一种迷思:“having/being”少选,
但是事实上,OG/PP里也不乏有正确选项带有having/being的。
那么,究竟该怎么判断呢?
在这里,Dustin一如以往从句意上的逻辑出发,而不谈技巧,
跟大家分享个人认为having/being何时应该出现的判断准则。
(以下所举出的皆为OG正确句子)
Referring to the current hostility toward smoking,
smokers frequently express anxiety that their
prospects for being hired and promoted are being stunted by their habit.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
注意“smokers frequently express anxiety that
their prospects for being hired and promoted…”为什么要用being呢?
因为for是介系词,介系词之后必定要接Ving/N,
但若是接hiring and promoting不能表示“被动”的概念,
所以要接由被动式(原形beV+Vpp)改成的动名词(being+Vpp),
是为表被动的动名词,being不可省,
否则“for hired and promoted”在文法上有错,
“for hiring and promoting”又无法表达被动意思。
请看另外两个正确句子:
In his research paper, Dr. Frosh, medical director of
the Payne Whitney Clinic, distinguishes between mood swings,
which may be violent without being grounded in mental disease,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and genuine manic-depressive psychosis.
Archaeologists in Ireland believe that a recently discovered
chalice, which dates from the eighth century, was probably
buried to keep it from being stolen by invaders.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
继续回到这句分析:
Referring to the current hostility toward smoking,
smokers frequently express anxiety that their prospects
for being hired and promoted are being stunted by their habit.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
这里的“promoted are being stunted…”
因为是同时要表达“被动”跟“进行”的概念,
所以要补出being,将原形beV Vpp变成进行式的being Vpp。
不能只写成“are stunted”(只读出被动的意思),
或者“are stunting”(只读出进行式)。所以being是必要的,不算冗长。
同样的用法,请参照此句:
The recent surge in the number of airplane flights
has clogged the nation's air-traffic control system,
leading to a 55-percent increase in delays at airports
and prompting fears among some officials that
safety is being compromised.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
至于,having出现的时机?
请连读下面两个正确句子:
1. Egyptians are credited with having pioneered embalming methods
as long ago as 2650 B.C.
2. Pablo Picasso, the late Spanish painter, credited African art
with having had a strong influence on his work.
大家第一个注意到的共通点是credited with跟having一起出现。
但我必须说,这并不是固定搭配。
我们应该注意的是句意上的共通点:都是在强调时间的持续性。
“Pablo Picasso, the late Spanish painter, credited African art
with having had a strong influence on his work.”
在强调“(在他credited的当下)已经持续影响一段时间了”
而“Egyptians are credited with having pioneered embalming methods
as long ago as 2650 B.C.”
在强调的也是“埃及人 持续 拥有pioneered embalming methods”。
当我们要特别强调“一段时间(持续)”的时候,可以使用have + Vpp的完成式来表达。
