注意事项:

1) V-ing形式的被动式主要在句子中作状语, 宾语补足语和定语. 但V-ing形式的被动式的完成式, 一般在句子中作状语, 不作其他成分.

They don't like the design of the new bridge being built.

Not having been completed, the museum can't be visited yet.

2) V-ing形式的被动式逻辑主语, 如果也是主句的主语, 就不需要表示出来. 但如果逻辑主语不是主句的主语, 就得把V-ing行使自己的主语表示出来.

The whole classroom having been cleaned, the students went home happily.

3) 在want, need, deserve, require, repay, bear, take等动词及形容词worth后, 习惯用动词-ing的主动形式表示被动意义, 相当于to be done.

The house wants cleaning.

My watch needs repairing.

The way deserves mentioning. 这个办法值得一提.

These young trees will require looking after carefully.

The film is worth seeing.
