讀到一個句子 To regret one’s errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance. There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self. 錯而能改,不踏覆轍,才是真正的悔悟。優(yōu)于他人并非高貴,真正的高貴在于優(yōu)于自 己的過去。
這是海明威的一句名言。 句中有兩處用了in being …… 結構: 1)in being superior to some other man 和 2)in being superior to your previous self。 這里 being superior to some other man 和being superior to your previous self 是動 名詞短語作介詞 in 的賓語。 通常動名詞短語是doing sth. (動賓結構),如是系表結構,則用 “being + 表語”。 “being + 表語”置于介詞 in之后,大多表示“在……方面”。 例句: The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self. 真正的高貴在于超越過去的自己。 Margaret takes after her father in being strong-willed. 瑪格麗特意志堅強,像她父親。 I take much pleasure in being with family and friends. 我從與家人及朋友的相處中得到很多樂趣。 There's no point in being nuts if you can't have a little fun. 如果你不能來點幽默的話,呆著也沒有什么意思。 He failed in being admitted to a university,but he was not downhearted. 盡管大學沒考上,他也毫不氣餒。 Earthenware has an advantage over wood in being more easily kept clean. 陶器的優(yōu)點在于比木器更容易保持清潔。 Their plan had some difficulties in being in operation. 他們在執(zhí)行計劃時遇到一些困難。 I am at an unfavorable position in being conversationally unacquainted with English. 我由于不熟悉英語會話而處于不利地位。 The Kantian categories differ from those of Aristotle in being subjective. 康德哲學的范疇與亞里士多德哲學的范疇的不同在于其主觀性。
