Answer 1

最佳解答

1. stop "spreading" outdated information: 停止散播過時的消息

2. stop "to spread" outdated information: 停下來好去散播過時的消息

及物動詞stop後面接「動名詞」（gerund）與「不定詞」（infinitive）為「受詞」時的意義不同。

I forgot posting the letter. 信已寄，但我忘了我做過這件事。

I forgot to post the letter.信未寄，因為我忘了要做這件事。

I do not remember giving it to you.給了你東西後，我就忘掉了。

I did not remember to give it to you.我忘了把東西給你。

I regret to tell you that you are not going to get the promotion.（正在宣佈壞消息）

I regret telling you the bad news.（後悔以前做過的錯事）

Try to pass your test.（你的目標）

If you cannot sleep, try counting sheep.（你的方法）

I like swimming.我喜歡游泳，但不是現在要去，也不一定自己會游。

I like to swim.我現在想去游泳，是自己游。

所以不同的動詞在接動名詞或不定詞為受詞時，意義可能大不相同。

但began/started/continued/ceased等後面接動名詞或不定詞為受詞時，意思相同。

It began to rain. = I began raining.
