小升初英语语法存在句知识点:there to be…的用法
there to be 为 there be 的非谓语形式之一,它在句中主要用作状语或介词for的宾语。
■用作动词宾语
该结构可用作某些动词(如like, prefer, hate, want, mean, intend, expect, consider 等)的宾语:
I don’t want there to be any misunderstanding.
我可不希望有任何误解。
Students hate there to be too much homework.
学生讨厌做太多的家庭作业。
We expect there to be more discussion about this.
我们期望能对此展开更多的讨论。
【注】在let there be句式中,动词be不带to:
Don’t let there be any noise. 不允许有任何吵闹。
Let there be no mistake about it. 这事不要出错。
■用作介词for的宾语
They asked for there to be another meeting. 他们要求再开一次会议。
【注】用作介词宾语一般用there being,但用作介词for的宾语时,只能用there to be。比较:
They planned on there being another meeting. 他们打算再开一次会议。
They planned there to be another meeting. 他们打算再开一次会议。
