附录A：动词补语：用不定式还是用动名词?。

Appendix A:Verb Complements:Infinitive or Gerund?

一些动词是可以后面跟动名词也可以是不定式。

Some verbs can be followed by both gerunds and infinitives.

“basketball”在这里可以是普通名词也可以是专有名词，或者也可以换成一个动名词。

Here, basketball can be a common or proper noun, or it can be be substituted for a gerund.

大多数情况下，动名词和不定式之间在意思单上是没有或是一点点区别的。

In most cases, there is little or no difference in meaning between the sentences with gerunds and the sentences with infinitives.

按下操纵杆上的按钮或鼠标器上的按钮，或按下“输入”键，即可输入光标的当前位置。(动名词作主语)。

Pushing a button on a joystick or a mouse or pressing the enter key inputs the curson's current position.
