看我“There be”结构七十二变
作者:杨春萍 更新日期:2007-12-16 点击数: 等级:
There be句型是存在句的基本结构,用法较为简单,但一牵涉到there be结构的“变脸”形式,学生常常是为之而头痛,做题感到无从下手,所以笔者在此作以归纳。
一、There be与情态动词连用,表示“推测,可能”
There must besomething wrong with my car.我的汽车一定有毛病了。
There may/might be rain tonight.今晚有可能下雨。
二、There be中间常加上一些词,如appear to,seem to,used to,have to,be likely to,be sure to,happen to be等表示存在某种状态或发生某种事情
There are likely to be more difficulties than expected.
可能会有超乎意料多的困难。
There seems to be nobody who is willing to do the job.
似乎没人愿意做这份工作。
There had to be a reason to explain it.
需要有个理由来解释这件事。
三、There be结构还可以加上其他动词的被动式,表示据…有…
There is reported to be oil under that desert.
据报道那块沙漠下面有石油。
There is expected to be an important change in their interview.
人们期待在他们的访谈中有重大的改变。
There is said to be another war between the two countries.
据说这两个国家之间会再有一场战争爆发。
四、There be结构构成两种非谓语形式:there to be,there being
1、作主语
there to be,there being都可做主语,但there to be常见放在for之后,多用在it作形式主语的结构中。
It is impossible for there to be no hurry under such dangerous conditions.
在那样危险的情形下不慌不忙是不可能的。
There being so loyal a friend to depend on is really lucky for you.
有这么忠实的朋友可以依靠你真是幸运。
2、作宾语
there to be,there being都可以做某些动词的宾语,区别是:一般用不定式做宾语的动词多与there to be搭配,如:expect,hate,intend,want,wish,mean(打算)等;一般用v-ing做宾语的动词则用there being,如dream of,imagine,appreciate,avoid等。
I don’t want there to be anyone destroying my plan.
我不希望有人毁了我的计划。
I expect there to be an agreement reached between them.
我期望他们尽快达到一致。
Can you imagine there being the life without electricity?
你能想像没有电的生活吗?
I never dream of there being a chance to be sent abroad so soon.
我从来没想到有被这么快被派到国外的机会。
3、作介词的宾语
there to be常放在介词for之后,如:ask for,call for,care for,hope for,plan for,prepare for,wait for等,其他介词后可用there being。
I hope for there to be no wars and killings in the world.
我希望这世上没有战争和杀戮。

没有人曾告诉张先生第二天会开会。
4、作状语。
常用there being结构构成独立主格结构,作原因条件状语。
There being no bus,they had to walk home.
没有公交车,他们只好步行回家。
There having been no rain,the plants there died.
没有雨水,那儿的植物都死了。

无法知道他什么时候回来。
