第二个句子错误;应改为:
My car needs repairing.或My car needs to be repaired.
need/want/require
注意:当 need,want,require,后面接doing表示被动;相当于to be done.
Your hair wants cutting. 你的头发该理了.
The floor requires washing.地板需要冲洗. 典型例题
The library needs___,but it'll have to wait until Sunday.
A.cleaning B.be cleaned C.clean D.being cleaned
答案A.need (实意) +n /to do,need (情态)+ do,当为被动语态时,
还可need + doing.本题考最后一种用法,选A.如有to be clean 则也为正确答案.
