问题描述:

never to be found ,动词不定时与动名词的区别?
---what's the matter with Tim?
---Oh,Tim's cellphone was left in a taxi accidentally,never to be found again.
为什么用to be found,而不用being found.
动词不定时与动名词结构放句尾的区别是什么?

此处的不定式 never to be found again 是结果状语。不定式作结果状语时多表示“出乎意料,令人不快的结果,常与only 连用。例如:He hurried to the airport, only to find the plane had taken off
而现在分词doing 作结果状语,多表示自然而然结果。
例如:European football is played in more than 80 countries, making it the most popular
sport in the world. 该句中的making it the most popular sport in the world 就是现在分词作结果状语,表示自热而然的结果。

TIM怎么了
OH,他的手机忘在出租车里了,别指望再找到了.

NEVER TO BE FOUND AGAIN. 找到手机是还没有发生的事情,用动词不定式表示将会发生的.

此处的不定式 never to be found again 是结果状语,等于从句 so that it could never be found again 或者 so as never to be found again,意思是“以至于永远也别指望再找到”.
不定式和分词(不是动名词)都可以作状语,但是它们的分工不同.不定式充当的是目的或结果状语,而分词充当的是时间、原因、条件、伴随方式状语,跟在句后的分词短语往往是伴随状语.如果此处改为 it never being found again,意思变成了“与此同时手机永远也没人看得到”

不定时表示将来,动名词指的是正在进行,never或always有说话者的主观意识
