考博英語語法復(fù)習(xí)：there be的非謂語形式

there be非謂語形式可在句中作主語、賓語、狀語和定語。

The students expected there to be more reviewing classes before the final exams.（作賓語）

1）作動(dòng)詞賓語時(shí)，通常用there to be結(jié)構(gòu)，而不用there being。能這樣用的及物動(dòng)詞為：expect，like，mean，intend，want，prefer，hate等，如：

We don't want there to be any comrades lagging behind，我們不希望有任何同志掉隊(duì)。

They hate there to be long queues everywhere.他們不愿意處處都要排長隊(duì)。

We have no objection to there being a meeting here.我們并不反對(duì)在這里開會(huì)。

It isn't enough for there to be a frost tonight，so I can leave Jim's car out quite safely.（作狀語）

2）作狀語多用there being結(jié)構(gòu)，但若置于介詞之后，for用there to be整個(gè)介詞短語作程度狀語，其它多半用there being。

There being nobody else at hand, I had to do by myself.由于附近沒有人，我只得獨(dú)自干了。（原因狀語）

It's too early for there to be anybody up.太早了，還不會(huì)有人起床。（作程度狀語）

There having been no rain for a long time，the ground was very dry.因?yàn)楹瞄L時(shí)間沒下雨了，地面非常干燥。（原因狀語）

3）作主語時(shí)兩種結(jié)構(gòu)都可以，但如是用for引導(dǎo)則要用there to be。

It is not uncommon for there to be problems of communication between old and young.老人與年青人之間存在著溝通問題是很常見的。

There being a kindergarten on campus is a great convenience to female teachers.幼兒園在校園內(nèi)對(duì)女教師十分方便。

4）作定語。 There be結(jié)構(gòu)作定語時(shí)，定語從句中謂語為there be，there之前的關(guān)系代詞常常省略。如：

This is the fastest train （that） there is to Nanking.這是到南京的最快一班車。

I must make full use of the time there is left to me and do as much as I can for the people.我要充分利用我剩下的歲月盡量為人民多做些事。
