英语PK台 第321期:怒刷王之存在感—There be句型精讲(2)
英语课
There be 两大非谓语形式
There be 做非谓语时,be可以是不定式(to be)或(being),所以非谓语形式有 there being 和 there to be. There 作逻辑主语。非谓语形式的 there to be 和there being 结构可用作主语、宾语、或状语等。
1. 作主语
(1) 有for引导:
It's a great pity for there to be much trouble in the class.
太遗憾了,这个班上有多方面的麻烦。
It is common for there to be problems of communication between teachers and students.
老师与学生人之间存在着沟通问题是很常见的。
(2) 没有for引导,则用there being:
There being a public bus service is a great convenience to people.
公交车对人们十分方便。
The prison is heavily guarded. There being no hope of escape is certain.
监狱看守极严,逃走是没有希望了。
2. 作动词宾语
(1) 有些动词后只能跟动名词,这些动词后用there being. 常见的动词有:deny(否认), appreciate(喜欢), mind(介意), imagine(想像), admit(承认)等:
She denied 1 there being any misunderstanding between them.
她否认他们之间有任何误会。
I don't mind there being no TV set in the room.
我并不在意房间里有没有电视。
You can imagine there being a hot discussion 2 about it.
你可以想像得到人们对此会有一场激烈的讨论。
(2)有些动词后只能跟不定式,这些动词后用there to be. 常见的动词有:want(想), expect(期待), wish(期望), like(喜欢、想要) , hate(讨厌), would like(想要), prefer(宁愿,想要), mean(打算), intend (想要)等:

老师不希望有任何学生掉队。

他们不愿意处处都要排长队。
3.作状语
(1)作独立主格结构,用there being,可表示原因:
There being nothing else to do, they went home.
没有别的事做,他们回家了。
There being nobody else to help me, I had to do by myself.
由于没有人帮我,我只得单干了
(2)但若置于介词for之后,则用there to be,整个介词短语作程度状语:
It was too late for there to be any buses.
太晚了,不会有公共汽车了。
It is enough for there to be five minutes.
五分钟就足够了。
4. There being可以用作一个介词的复合宾语
The Chinese are proud of there being the Great Wall in North China.
中国人以在中国北部有个长城而自豪。
作介词的宾语一般用There being句式,但当是for时一般用there to be句式。
(1)This depended on there being a sudden 5 change.
这需要有一个突然的改变。
(2)The teacher was waiting for there to be complete silence.
