2023年上半年英语四级语法考点复习:interest
interested in doing和interested to do
有这样一道题:
You are right, we are not interested _________ tostories, but now we'd be interested _________ yourstory.
A. in listening, in hearing B. 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 是大家很熟悉的结构,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)
如: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 = 喝望做某事(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:
(1)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.
(2)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.
(3)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.
(4)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.
(5)要表示“做某事有经验”,英语可用be experienced at / in doing sth,但不用be experienced todo sth.
另外,对于可用于两个结构者,也不见得含义都有以上区别的。如:be fortunate in doing sth与befortunate in doing sth大致同义。
