動名詞的否定形式與分詞否定形式一樣,由動名詞前加not構(gòu)成。
例句: She always has dozens of excellent excuses for not being able to help you.
分析: 該句是簡單句。not being able to help you是動名詞的否定形式。
譯文: 對于未能幫助你,她總是有太多借口。
例句: She is considering not asking her mother to send her to the airport.
分析: 該句是簡單句。not asking...作considering的賓語。
譯文: 她正在考慮不讓母親送她去機場。
