据此,从理论上讲,there be 句型如果充当了某个及物动词的宾语从句,那么,这个及物动词,就可以用于上述句式的转换。例如: 1. People say that there will be an election this week. → It is said that there will be an election this week. → There is said to be an election this week. 【注意】不定式本身表示将来,所以will 不再出现,不能说There will be said to be。 2. The media report that there is oil under that desert. →It is reported that there is oil under that desert. →There is reported to be oil under that desert. 3. People expect that there will be a keen fight in the local elections. →It is expected that there will be a keen fight in the local elections. →There is expected to be a keen fight in the local elections. 4. People think that there will be a strike soon. →It is thought that there will be a strike soon. →There is thought to be a strike soon. 5. People suppose that there are more than 3000 languages in the world. →It is supposed that there are more than 3000 languages in the world. →There are supposed to be more than 3000 languages in the world. 但是,并非所有接宾语从句的及物动词,都可以这样使用。据我所知,具有该用法的动词是比较有限的,如say, report, expect, think, believe, suppose, understand 等。 1. There is/are said to be... 据说有...... 2. There is/are reported to be... 据报道有...... 3. There is/are expected to be... 预计有...... 4. There is/are thought to be... 人们认为有...... 5. There is/are believed to be... 人们认为有...... 6. There is/are supposed to be...人们认为有...... 7. There is/are understood to be... 人们都知道有...... 【注意】由于There在此只引导作用,所以,用is还是are要视后面主语的单复数而定。 五、关于“There be + no + 动名词” There is no denying that she is very efficient. There is no saying when it will stop raining. 很难说这场雨什么时候会停。 There is no telling when she will come back. 说不准她什么时候回来 There is no knowing when we shall meet again. 不知道何时我们再相见。 There is no mistaking what ought to be done. 该做什么是不会弄错的。 There is no persuading him to go there. 劝说他去那儿是不可能的。 There is no going back to the life she had. 她无法再回到从前的生活。 There is no expecting what will happen. 无法预料会发生什么事情。 There is no getting over the difficulty. 这困难无法克服。 There is no holding back the wheel of history. 历史的车轮不可阻挡。 There is no parking between 9 am and 6 pm. 上午9时至下午6时禁止停放机动车辆。 There is no gainsaying her ability. 她的能力是无可否认的。 There is no accounting for tastes. 人各有所好。 There is no reasoning with such a stubborn man as Peter. 跟彼得这种固执的人讲理简直是不可能的事。 There is no typing up this letter within five minutes. 不可能在五分钟内打完这封信。 There is no blinking the possibility of a scandal. 不能无视发生丑闻的可能性。 Remember, once you've signed the contract, there is no turning back. 记住,一旦签了合同,就不可能反悔了。 |
