请看下面一道题:
You are right, we are not interested _____ to stories, but now we’d be interested _____ your story.
A. in listening, in hearingB. to listen, to hear
C. in listening, to hear D. to listen, in hearing
【分析】此题容易误选 A,因为 be interested in 是大家熟悉的结构,in 是介词,其后接动词自然应用动名词。但是,从句意来看,此题的最佳答案应是 C。为此请注意以下区别:
be interested in doing sth=对做某事感兴趣(指一般性的动作)
be interested to do sth=很有兴趣做某事,很想做某事(指尚未发生的动作)
请看以下例句:
He is interested in listening to stories. 他对听故事很感兴趣。
We’d be interested to hear your story. 我们很想听听你的故事。
请看一个类似的例子:
be keen on doing sth=热衷于做某事(指一般性的动作)
be keen to do sth=渴望做某事(指尚未发生的动作)
He is keen on playing tennis. 他很喜欢打网球。
I can’t drive yet, but I’m keen to learn. 我还不会开车,但我很想学。
但是,以上用法是不可以随便推而广之的,因为并不是所有的“be+形容词”都可同时接不定式或“介词+动名词”的。如:
◎要表示“喜欢做某事”,英语可用 be fond of doing sth, 但不用 be fond to do sth。如:
他喜欢听流行音乐。
误:He is fond to listen to pop music.
正:He is fond of listening to pop music.
◎要表示“忙于做某事”,英语可用 be busy (in) doing sth, 但不用 be busy to do sth。如:
玛丽正忙于复习,准备考试。
误:Mary is busy to study for her exams.
正:Mary is busy studying for her exams.
◎要表示“厌烦做某事”,英语可用 be tired of doing sth,但不用 be tired to do sth。如:
我听腻了你的批评。
误:I’m tired to listen to your criticisms.
正:I’m tired of listening to your criticisms.
◎要表示“做某事做迟了”,英语可用 be late (in) doing sth,但不用 be late to do sth。如:
今天早上他来办公室来得很迟。
误:He was late to come to the office this morning.
正:He was late (in) coming to the office this morning.
◎要表示“做某事有经验”,英语可用 be experienced at [in] doing sth,但不用 be experienced to do sth。如:
他教小孩很有经验。
误:He is experienced to teach children.
正:He is experienced at [in] teaching children.
