　　商務(wù)英語(yǔ)郵件寫(xiě)作中，to后面什么時(shí)候可以加動(dòng)詞ing?一起來(lái)看看下面的例子吧。

商務(wù)英語(yǔ)郵件to后面怎么加動(dòng)詞ing

　　EX. I look forward to talking to you on Friday afternoon.

　　例句：我期待下周五與你的談話。

　　As the example above shows, sometimes it is correct to use “to” plus the –ing form of a verb.

　　從例句里我們可以看到，有時(shí)“to”也可以加動(dòng)詞-ing形式。

　　Many non-native English speakers are reluctant to use –ing after “to”. Maybe this is because you learnt at school that after “to” a verb should always be in the infinitive.

　　許多非英語(yǔ)國(guó)家的人都不喜歡在“to”后面加動(dòng)詞-ing形式。這可能是因?yàn)槟銈儗W(xué)校里的老師告訴你們“to”后面一般都跟動(dòng)詞不定式。

　　This is only half true. “To” actually has two uses – EITHER as an infinitive marker (e.g. The Company wishes to purchase the shares), OR as a preposition (e.g. He has gone to lunch).

　　其實(shí)不然。事實(shí)上“to”有兩種用法，一種是動(dòng)詞不定式的標(biāo)志(比如：這家公司想要收購(gòu)股份。)，另一種，用作介詞。(比如：他去吃飯了。)

　　When “to” acts as a preposition it is usually followed by an –ing form (which in this case is a gerund) or a noun/noun phrase, as in these examples:

　　當(dāng)“to”作介詞時(shí)，后面通常會(huì)跟著動(dòng)詞-ing形式(動(dòng)名詞)或者名詞/名詞詞組，比如：

　　EX1. There is no obstacle to registering the company.

　　EX2. There is no obstacle to the registration of the company.

　　例句：注冊(cè)這家公司沒(méi)有困難。

　　EX1. I do not recommend committing yourself to purchasing the shares yet.

　　EX2. I do not recommend committing yourself to the purchase of the shares yet.

　　例句：我現(xiàn)在還不建議你去收購(gòu)那些股份。

　　EX1. I look forward to hearing from you.

　　EX2. I look forward to your reply.

　　例句：我期待你的回復(fù)。

　　There are, of course, exceptions to this rule. The next post looks at these.

　　當(dāng)然，“to”加動(dòng)詞-ing也有例外的時(shí)候。敬請(qǐng)期待下次更新。
