名词化的动名词
名词化的动名词形式同动名词。但是动名词具有名词和动词的特征,可以带有自己的宾语和状语。而名词化的动名词完成丧失了动词的特征,只起名词作用。在用法上有一下不同。
名词化的动名词可以带冠词,而动名词不能

He used to go to the top of the mountain and see the rising of the sun.过去他常常到山 顶上去看日出。

名词化的动名词可被形容词修饰或说明,动名词只能被状语修饰

动名词作主语时,可用 it 作形式主语,名词化的动名词无这种形式。它的逻辑主语以介词 of 的宾语形式出现。

The sudden rising up of the peasants frightened the landlord.农民的突然起义吓坏了 地主。(名词化的动名词)
动名词可以直接跟宾语,而名词化的动名词如果没有逻辑上的宾语,要用 of 引起的介词短语表示。

动名词可以作定语或构成合成词,名词化的动名词无此作用。
