ГЕРУНДИЙ
И ГЕРУНДИАЛЬНЫЕ ОБОРОТЫ
ГЕРУНДИЙ, ЕГО ФОРМЫ
И ОТЛИЧИТЕЛЬНЫЕ ПРИЗНАКИ
Герундий — неличная форма глагола, обозначающая действие и сочетающая в себе свойства глагола и существительного. По форме герундий совпадает с причастием I и перфектным причастием.
Формы герундия
| Indefinite | Active | Passive |
| writing | being written | |
| Perfect | having written | having been written |
В отличие от причастия перед герундием в тексте стоит предлог, существительное в притяжательном или общем падеже или притяжательное местоимение:
The author has succeeded in basinghis study on sound principles.
Автору удалось основатьсвое исследование на здравых принципах.
In spite of his being tiredwe had to disturb him.
Несмотря на то, что он устал,нам пришлось побеспокоить его.
I have been told of your friend's comingsoon.
Мне сказали, чтоваш друг скоро приедет.
В отличие от причастия, употребляемого главным образом в функции определения и обстоятельства, герундий может употребляться в функциях подлежащего и дополнения:
Collecting rare books was his favourite occupation.
Коллекционирование редких книг было его любимым занятием (Собирать редкие книги было его любимым делом).
Не likes reading aloud. Он любит читать вслух,
В том случае если герундий употребляется в функции определения и обстоятельства, перед ним стоит предлог (который никогда не ставится перед причастием):
In studyingthe inscriptions they applied a new method of deciphering.
При изучении (изучая)надписей они применили новый метод расшифровки.
Герундий, совпадая по форме с отглагольным существительным на -ing, отличается от последнего следующими признаками.
1) Имеет залоговые различия; ср.:
Не likes showing (Act.) his photographs. Он любит (ему нравится) показывать свои фотографии. The child likes being shown (Pass.) pictures. Ребенку нравится, когда ему показывают картинки (Ребенок любит, чтобы ему показывали картинки).
2) Формы герундия, не имея, как и причастие, самостоятельного значения времени, могут выражать действие, одновременное или предшествующее действию, выраженному сказуемым.
Герундий Indefinite обычно обозначает действие, одновременное действию, выраженному сказуемым (или будущее по отношению к нему):
I know about his returning from Moscow. Я знаю о том, что он возвращается из Москвы (Я знаю о его возвращении из Москвы).
Герундий Perfect обозначает действие, предшествующее действию, выраженному сказуемым:
I know about his having returned from Moscow. Я знаю о том, что он возвратился из Москвы (Я знаю о его возвращении).
Примечание. После глаголов to excuse, to forgive, to thank, to remember и предлогов on (upon), after герундий Indefi-
nite может иметь значение предшествующего действия по отношению к действию, выраженному сказуемым:
I remember seeing him there.
Я помню, что видел его там.
3) Герундий от переходных глаголов может принимать прямое дополнение (в то время как отглагольное существительное принимает предложное дополнение); ср.:
Writing(Ger.) comedies took all his time. Писаниекомедий занимало все его время. The writing(Verb, n.) of his work occupied seventeen years.
Написаниеего труда заняло семнадцать лет.
4) В отличие от отглагольного существительного герундий не принимает форму множественного числа, не употребляется с артиклем и определяется наречием, а не прилагательным (как отглагольное существительное).
Герундий можно переводить следующим образом.
1) Р1нфинитивом:
She stopped answeringmy letters.
Она перестала отвечатьна мои письма.
2) Отглагольным существительным:
After finishingschool he went on an expedition. После окончанияшколы он поехал в экспедицию.
3) Деепричастием:
In examiningthe manuscript the historian discovered a curious detail.
Рассматриваярукопись, ученый обнаружил один любопытный факт (подробность).
4) Личной формой глагола в функции сказуемого придаточного предложения, вводимого союзом «что (чтобы)» с предшествующим ему соотнесенным местоимением «то» в соответствующем падеже (тем, что: в том, что. . . и т. п.):
This volume differs from the previous in embracinga wider range of subjects.
Этот том отличается от предыдущего тем, что охватываетболее широкий круг вопросов.
