用法說明
How is "His" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "His"?
his + 名詞 vs his + 動名詞 (-ing)
- his + 名詞 是最常見的用法，表示「他的」某個具體事物或抽象概念。
- his + 動名詞 (-ing) 則用於表示「他的」某個動作或行為，這個結構通常出現在動詞或介系詞之後，作為受詞。
- 兩者的核心區別在於：his + 名詞 指向一個「事物」；his + 動名詞 則將一個「動作」名詞化，強調行為本身。
對比例句： EN: I borrowed his book yesterday. 翻譯: 我昨天借了他的書。
EN:I appreciate his helping me with the project.
翻譯:我很感謝他協助我完成這個專案。
對比例句： EN: We admire his courage. 翻譯: 我們欽佩他的勇氣。

翻譯:他提早到達讓她感到驚訝。
