"There being" 和 "there to be" 的区别

IsaacZ

"There being"的用法及意义:

A. "There being"可以用作一个介词的复合宾语,跟 "There to be"不同的是:"There to be"往往表示目前"没有存在"的事物;而"There being"则通常表示"已经存在"的事情。请看:

1. 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。

B. "There being"还可以用作副词,在语法上叫"独立结构"。如:

1. There being nothing to do, we went home separately.

由于没有什么事要做, 我们就各自回家了。


"There to be"的用法及意义:

A. "There to be" 可以用作一个动词的宾语,我们通常称之为复合宾语,其意义常表示对将来的一种意愿或希望,但目前还没"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医院吗

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.

不可能再有机会。

2. It was too late for there to be any open shops.

时间太晚了,不会有营业的商店了。
