請告訴我
imagine後的動詞若為主動是加V-ing
但我今天造一句子

請問是不是這樣寫

Answer 1

只要將 imagine 的用法加以區別，就可以知道句子可以怎麼寫了：
(1) imagine + N/V-ing
(2) imagine + 受詞 + V-ing
(3) imagine + (that 引導名詞子句) + S + V
你給的句子是屬於第三種：
I can't imagine (that) the trees (主詞) are being felled (動詞，且是以現在進行式的被動語氣寫的).
若是寫成第二個句型的話是寫成：
I can't imagine the trees (受詞) being felled (分詞做受詞補語用).
此外，第二個句型後雖然是 V-ing 的型態（這裡的 V-ing 指的是一般動詞，而非 BE動詞），但是表示被動時，還是要加上 BE動詞 being 才行的（這裡的 being 可是跟主動語氣無關的）。

Answer 2

如果照你的原句 “I can't imagine the trees are being felled.”,除同一句中出現雙述詞動詞外,尚出現不是加V-ing的問題,所以根本不能這樣寫.但若寫成 “I can't imagine the trees being felled.”, 則 imagine 後的動詞變為被動V-ing仍不是你所希望的寫法,對不?所以我建議像下面這樣寫,則其後的動詞為主動V-ing,請參考:

I can't imagine the trees falling down (to the ground).

Answer 3

錯吧
It should be

I can't imagine the trees being felled.
如果是你的原句
I can't imagine the trees are being felled.
就會出現雙動詞
