Insuring public or private property is a standard practice in most countries in the world. (L43)
承辦公共財產(chǎn)或私人財產(chǎn)保險是世界上大部分國家的正常業(yè)務(wù)。
此句中,insure property這組搭配使用了動名詞形式在句中充當(dāng)主語。
又如:
Despite its immensity, it is both simple and elegant, fulfilling its designer's dream to create 'an enormous object drawn as faintly as possible'. (L17)
