there being 为 there be 结构的非谓语形式,主要有两种用法,一是用作状语,二是用作介词宾语。
1. 用作状语
there being 结构最主要的功能是用作状语。如:
There being nothing else to do, we went home.
没有别的事可做,我们就回家了。
There being no taxi available, he had to walk home.
由于没有计程车可搭,他只好步行回家。
这类结构有时可与状语从句转换。如:
There being no further business, I declare the meeting closed.=As there is no further business, I declare the meeting closed.
由于没有再要讨论的事了,我宣布散会。
2. 用作介词宾语
there being 结构还可用作介词宾语。如:
They planned on there being another meeting.
他们打算再开一次会。
There is now some hope of there being a settlement of the dispute.
现在还有点希望可以解决这次争端。
注意:there being 用作宾语时,不能用作动词的宾语,只能用作介词的宾语,并且这个介词不能是 for。
