being的恰当使用 英语中有一个词叫being,虽然用法很简单，但是容易出错。什么时候该用，什么时候不该用，往往不易被广大学子所掌握。being在新教材中属于一种-ing形式的词，其实它有两种词性，一个是现在分词，另一个是动名词，那它什么时候是现在分词？什么时候是动名词?怎样恰当的使用它呢？我想同广大学子讨论一下。 being作现在分词用在进行时的被动语态中 being用作现在分词往往出现在现在进行时和过去进行时的被动语态中，它们的构成分别是is/am/are being +过去分词和was/were being+过去分词。在此类进行时的被动语态中being是不能省去，是应该使用的，否则成了现在时和过去时的被动语态。 The large house which is being built in our school is our scientific building. I am being scolded by my English teacher ,because I have done something wrong. They are being beaten by their father for having stolen a lot of money from the store. A traffic accident happened in the street yesterday but its cause was being looked into. The students who were being spoken to were from the No.2 middle school. 二．being用在现在分词短语中作状语 Being painted, the wall smells terrible. =Because it is being painted, the wall smells terrible.（此句中的being painted是现在分词短语作原因状语，其中being是现在分词，不能省略。因为展开后，原因状语从中的谓语是现在进行的被动语态is being painted。） Being ill, he didn’t come to school yesterday. = Because he was ill, he didn’t come to school yesterday.(being ill 是现在分词短语作原因状语。being是现在分词，不能省略，因为省略后，ill是形容词只能表状态，不能充当原因状语。) Being operated on by the famous doctor,he could not be disturbed by anyone.=When he was being operated by the famous doctor,he could not be disturbed by anyone.(being operated on by the famous doctor是现在分词短语充当时间状语，其中being 是现在分词，不能省略，因为展开后，从句的谓语部分是was being operated是过去进行时的被动语态。) There being no policemen standing there,these goods may be taken away by some thieves.=If there are no policemen standing there,these goods may be taken away by some thieves(there being no policemen standing there是there be句型的现在分词短语作条件状语，其中being是现在分词，不能省略，因为此处是there be句型。) 下列句子不能加being,可广大学子总是不理解，习惯于加being When being heated, the metal expands and if being allowed to cool it will contract. (此句中两处均不能加being因为展开后是when it is being heated和if it is being allowed成了现在进行时的被动语态，而此处应是现在时的被动语态when it is heated和if it is allowed。) Such knowledge is still useful when being applied to similar situations in other countries.(NMET
