I honestly apologize for my being latemy being late?这句式怎么这样?不懂.

问题描述:

I honestly apologize for my being late
my being late?这句式怎么这样?不懂.

Answer:
"my being late " 是动名词的复合结构
为何要用这种结构?
(1)for是介词,后面一定要接名词或动名词,而late 是形容词本身无法变成动名词,故直接用For late 显然不行,就需把"late"变成一个动名词短语即成
being late 结构
(2)为什么"being late"前面要加上形容词性的物主代词?
这个形容词性的物主代词my 是动名词短语"being late"的逻辑主语
加上"my"是为了表明施动者是谁.
如:I honestly apologize for being late
去掉"my"会产生歧义.
我真诚的为(我的,某人的)迟到道歉.
