Question

of doing和to do做定语有什么区别？

Answer 1

不同的名词,对这两种后置定语的选择是有区别的,有的只能用to do,有的只可用of doing,有的两种都可以，意思是没有区别的，现解释如下:
⑴conclusion, decision, permission, agreement, refusal, determination, proposal, resolution等,一般用不定式作后置定语。
如:
He has drawn a conclusion to go abroad with his family.(不用of winning)
他已作出了携家去国外的决定。
⑵hope, risk, possibility, impossibility, probability, intention, prospect, responsiblility, aim等,一般只能用of doing作后置定语。
如:
He will run the risk of losing his life to save the child.
他将冒生命危险去救那个孩子。
⑶way, chance, need, necessity, right, freedom, power, opportunity,ability等,既可用不定式短语,又可用of doing短语作后置定语。
如:
Their chance to go(of ging) abroad was lost.
他们失去了出国的机会。
