Therebe句型的几种特殊结构及其用法


there be 句型的几种特殊结构及其用法  
there be句型是一种应用十分广泛和频繁的句型。但是对there be句型的多变的特点及其特殊结构的复杂性，并不是每个考生都熟悉了解。在大学英语四级考试题中也常常遇到这一句型结构的试题。  
例如： ann never dreams of _________ for her to be sent abroad very soon．（cet-4，1998．6-43）  
a）there to be a chance  
b）there being a chance  
c）there be a chance  
d）being a chance 该题的答案为b）。  
动词 dream of 要求跟 v-ing 分词结构作宾语，更准确地讲是介词of后要求跟 v-ing 分词结构作宾语，there being a chance意为"有一个机会"；a）和c）两项均不符合句子结构的要求，所以不是答案选项，而d）项 being a chance 虽然是 v-ing 分词结构，但语义不通，故不能雪  
又如： no one had told smith about ____ a lecture the following day．（cet-4，2001．1-66）  
a）there beb）there would be c）there wasd）there being  
该题的答案为d）。介词 about 后要求跟 v-ing 分词结构作宾语，there being（a lecture）意为"有（一个讲座）"，而a）、b）和c）项内容均不符合结构要求，故不能雪再如：  
it is fairly common in africa for there to be an ensemble of expert musicians surrounded by others who join in by clapping，singing，or somehow adding to the totality of musical sound．（cet-4，1995．1）  
该句子中出现了for there to be 的结构，如果按照上一题的解题思路去理解：介词后要求跟 v-ing 分词结构作宾语，那么，这一结构似乎是错的；但是，实际上此结构没有错，此处只能够用 for there to be，而不能用 there being。为什么呢？这就是本文想要解答的问题：there be 句型的特殊结构及其用法。笔者将 there be 句型的几种特殊结构及其用法进行归纳、总结如下，供读者参考。
