核心问题
____, I went to the railway station to see my friend off. A. After eating quickly my dinner B. After my quickly eating dinner C. After eating my dinner quickly D. After eating my quickly dinner 既然动名词的一般形式表示与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生，那为什么上面的试题用了动名词的一般形式 eating(C)呢？照我看，改为 After having eaten，才是正确的。
词典解答
在某些动词(见 gerund )和介词(例如 after)之后,动名词的一般形式可表示其动作发生在谓语动词所表示的动词之前: After sending you that letter I recollected how stupid I was. 在我把那封信寄出后我意识到我是多么愚蠢。
