第二节 -ING 结构的用法

一、作主语

1. Taking part in the entrance exam of postgraduate is probably the turning point of my life.

Talking with him is a kind of pleasure.

Being a teacher is being present at the creation, when the clay begins to breathe.

1. It's waste of time arguing with the gossip about it. It's

   interesting having traveled to Beidaihe this year.

It's glorious getting involved in working out the plan (getting involved⋯短语作主语，但在此短语中 working out⋯分词短语作 in 的宾语。）.

说明：从 2 中我们可以看出这种结构通常适用于名词和形容词。但不适用于像 important, essential, necessary 等形容词，这些词后面一般要跟动词不定式。我们不能说 It's quite necessary taking part in the negociation. 应改作 It's quite necessary to take part in the negociation.
