“not + 动名词”核心用于否定动名词所表示的动作,常见应用场景集中在以下三类:
一. 用于介词(如in, at, for, of, about等)之后
介词后需接动名词作宾语,否定时直接在动名词前加“not”。
She apologized for not keeping her promise.(她为没遵守承诺而道歉。)
He is good at not showing his emotions.(他擅长不表露情绪。)
二. 用于某些动词(如avoid, mind, practice, suggest等)之后
部分动词后固定接动名词作宾语,否定动作时用“not + 动名词”。
I avoid not drinking enough water.(我会避免饮水不足。)
Would you mind not smoking here?(你介意不在这儿抽烟吗?)
三. 用于“it is + 形容词(如no use, useless, important等)”结构中
该结构后常接“(not) doing sth.”,否定形式为“it is + 形容词 + not doing sth.”。
It is no use not trying at all.(完全不尝试是没用的。)
It is important not rushing through the exam.(考试时不慌不忙很重要。)
