动作名词

In English, especially in formal styles, nouns or noun phrases are often used to represent action, and verbs of feeble phenomenality and vague phenomenality are often used as predicate, which results in stative characteristic of English.

英语在正式文体中习惯于用名词或名词性短语来表动作，而且谓语常用弱化或虚化动词，致使英语呈静态特征。

Am,is-was, are-were, do-did, see-saw, say-said, give-gave, get-got, go-went, come-came, have-had, eat-ate, take-took, run-ran, sing-sang, put-put, make-made, read-read, write-wrote, draw-drew, drink-drank, fly-flew, ride-rode, speak-spoke, sweep-swept, swim-swam, sit-sat ...

它的基本含义是：通过反身代词指代主语，使施动者把动作在形式上反射到施动者自己。因此，反身代词与它所指代的名词或代词形成互指关系，在人称、性、数上保持一致。

That the throwing away of a piece of Canadian waterweed would have caused half the waterways of Britain to be blocked for a decade, or that the provision of pot cacti for lonely settlers' wives would have led to Eastern Australia being overrun with forests of Prickly Pear?

呵呵，我也搞不清到底是分词还是动名词，亦或是现在的语法书中是否区别。简便起见，就用to do或doing来说吧，前面用的to do比较令我困惑，如果我用，肯定直接用blocked，因为我感觉to be blocked有将来的意味（不是说这个动作和throwing away相比是将来吧，这个弯绕得太大了……），而后面一处却用了表示正在进行的being，不论出于哪种想法，在作者写作当时，这两个案例的情况都是类似的啊，用什么用不同形式的补足语呢？

Away she shimmed over the lawn ,up the path,up the steps, across the veranda, and into the porch.

英汉词类较为明显的差异有：英语使用动词较少，有很多动作体现在名词和介词等词类中，而汉语却大量使用动词。

Don't bury the action in a noun or blur it across the entire sentence.

The second part argued one information of nominal "verb + noun". Action attributive nouns have to select verbal modifier.

第二部分论证了&动+名&偏正结构的成因之一：动作属性名词必然选择动词性定语。

You have never traveled far and yet All the adjectives are returning from your present time To their origins of nouns You are now not like anything else, but you are a thing itself Black and white, and at most grey with few shades The sharp edges of your shape are rounded It is winter now, and when the exuberant grows thin You are clad in puffiness, exempted from overt movements Reclining into a posture with no rococo clothes, you do not Expect the world in one color to detect The snowmelt streamlets trickling on your body Some life has to be off twice before it is recognized First it dies, and then it is dead, as if it turns away and disappears But now you've come back to it, simply forever

你从未行远过，而所有的形容词都纷纷从你的此刻剥落退回到它们名词的始源你不再像任何其它事物，而是物本身黑白的，至多呈现出层次不多的灰你的形状曾经锐利，如今那些棱角都已圆润冬天稳实，一切茂密也都变瘦唯有你裹得松松泡泡，免除了显见的动作半倚在一个没有螺纹皱的雕像姿态里不再期待同一种颜色的世界能体察你身上暗暗淌过融雪的细流有时生命需要离开两次才被铭记死去，然后消亡，犹如转身与不见而今你和它贴在一起，最简单的永远

E.g. a sleeping bag = a bag for sleeping / an operating table = a table for operating

区别：现在分词作定语，表示被修饰的名词的一个动作。
