问
He read a lot and listened to people talking.
上句中的 listened to people talking 应当如何分析?
答
大家对于 see (feel, hear, watch) sb. doing (do) 的结构是很熟悉的，也都知道其中的 doing(do) 应分析为宾语补足语。现在需要把我们的知识扩展一下：对于 listen to, look at, come across, come upon 等介词动词也可以这样来分析：listened to people talking 中的 people 是 listened to 的宾语，而 talking 是宾语补足语。下面是类似的实例：
-
It's painful to listen to Lizzie trying to play the violin. 听利齐练习拉提琴是很痛苦的。
-
We listened to the band playing in the park. 我们听乐队在公园里演奏。
-
They looked at the children playing ... 他们看孩子们玩耍……
-
