2、 作宾语

V-ing形式的被动式既可作动词的宾语, 也可作介词的宾语。

The bird escaped being caught. I didn't mind being left at home.

He was afraid of _________________ (abandon) by us. He did it without ___________ (ask)

You can't eat anything before _____________(operate on) I remember having been told the story.

3、作表语

What worried the child most was his not being allowed to visit his mother in the hospital.

使孩子最为担心的是他不被允许到医院看母亲。

注意：① 动名词的被动式作主语和表语时，常用其一般式（being done),不习惯用完成式；但作宾语时，若其动作发生谓语动词之前或强调动作已经发生，可用其完成式（having been done)。 如：

I appreciate having been given the chance to study abroad.

我很感激能被给与到国外留学的机会。

②动名词的被动式在句中作主、宾、表时，其特点是只表被动，不表进行。

③动名词的被动式作主、宾、表时，有时可采用其复合结构形式，即：名词所有格/形容性物主代词+ being done。如：

Tom's being admitted to college is a big surprise for us. 汤姆被大学入取让我们很是惊讶。

The discovery of new evidence led to his being caught. 新证据的发现导致他被捕。

What worried the child most was his not being allowed to visit his mother in the hospital

（二）现在分词的被动式

现在分词的被动式常句中作宾补和定语，一般不作状语（除个别情形例外）；在句中既表被动又表进行。

1、 作宾补

现在分词的被动式（being done）作宾补时，表示正在进行的被动的动作，常与感官动词连用。

I saw James being held up in the water by old Tom.

You'll find the topic _______________ (discuss) everywhere now.

As we approached the village we saw new houses _____________ (build)

注意：与过去分词作宾补的区别：过去分词作宾补表示动作已完成。

2、作定语
