接下來,我們一起探討 "There to be"和"There being"的用法及意義:
I. "There to be"的用法及意義:
A. "There to be" 可以用作一個動詞的賓語,我們通常稱之為復(fù)合賓語,其意義常表示對將來的一種意愿或希望,但目前還沒"存在".例如:
1. Would you like there to be a hospital near your home
你想在你家附近有家醫(yī)院嗎
(事實(shí)上,目前還沒有醫(yī)院.劃線部分作動詞like的賓語)
2. We teachers don't want there to be any students staying in the classroom after school.

(實(shí)際上所有的學(xué)生放學(xué)后都離校)
3. She doesn't hope there to be any quarrel between me and her.
她不希望我們之間有什么爭吵.(對將來的一種希望)
B. "There to be"也可以用在句型 "It be + adj. for..."中.例如:
1. It is impossible for there to be any more chance.
不可能再有機(jī)會.
2. It was too late for there to be any open shops.
時間太晚了,不會有營業(yè)的商店了.
3. It is important for there to be a free school for the poor children.
給貧困的孩子建一所免費(fèi)學(xué)校太重要了.
II. "There being"的用法及意義:
A. "There being"可以用作一個介詞的復(fù)合賓語,跟 "There to be"不同的是:"There to be"往往表示目前"沒有存在"的事物;而"There being"則通常表示"已經(jīng)存在"的事情.請看:
1. The Chinese are proud of there being the Great Wall in North China.
中國人以在中國北部有個長城而自豪.
2. No one told him about there being a meeting that afternoon.
沒人告訴他那天下午有個會.
3. You were wrong about there being some misunderstandings between us.
認(rèn)為我們之間有誤解,那你就錯了.
B. "There being"還可以用作副詞,在語法上叫"獨(dú)立結(jié)構(gòu)".如:
1. There being nothing to do, we went home separately.
由于沒有什么事要做, 我們就各自回家了.
2. There being no teacher in the classroom, the pupils began to talk freely.
由于教室里沒有教師,學(xué)生們開始自由交談.
