So think of it as a verbal noun, leaning more towards the noun part.

所以把它当作一个口头名词，更倾向于名词部分。

Well, it's actually a verbal noun which means that while it looks like a verb - like for example: in the first sentence we have: " running" -, it can perform the same functions as a noun.

好吧，它实际上是一个动词名词， 这意味着虽然它看起来像一个动词— — 例如： 在第一句中我们有： “running” — — 但它可以执行与名词相同的功能。
