       医学考博英语：there be的非谓语形式

       there be的非谓语形式有两种：there being(分词或动名词)和there to be(不定式)。它们可以在句中作主语、宾语、状语和定语。

　　(1)只能接there to be 结构作宾语的及物动词：expect, like, mean, intend, want, prefer, hate等。如：We don’t want there to be any comrades lagging behind.(我们不希望有任何同志掉队。)They hate there to be long queues everywhere.(他们不愿意处处都要排长队。)there being也可以作动词或介词的宾语，如：She relies on there being another opportunity.(她指望还有一次机会。)

　　(2) 作状语多用there being结构，但若置于介词for之后，应使用for + there to be结构。如：There being nobody else at hand, I had to do it by myself.(由于附近没有人，我只得一个人干了。)(原因状语) It’s too early for there to be anybody up.(太早了，还不会有人起床。)(作程度状语)

　　(3) 作主语时两种结构都可以，但如果用for引导则要用there to be。如：There being a kindergarten on campus is a great convenience to female teachers.(幼儿园在校园内对女教师十分方便。)It is not uncommon for there to be problems of communication between old young.(老人与年轻人之间存在着沟通问题是很常见的。)

　　(4) 作定语。there be 结构作定语时，定语从句中谓语为there be, there之前的关系代词常常省略。如：This is the fastest train (that) there is to Nanjing.(这是到南京较快的一班车。)I must make full use of the time there is left to me do as much as I can for the people.(我要充分利用我剩下的岁月尽量为人民多做些事。)
