No one would have dreamt of there being such a fine place. 谁也没想到会有这样的一个好地方。（There being 在句子中作介词of的宾语。需注意的是，结构若出现在介词for的后面则要用动词不定式；若出现在其他介词后面则要用动名词）4. There being no bus, we had to walk home. 因为没有公共汽车，我们只好步行回家。 （“There being + 名词”构成独立主格结构，在句中作状语）六、 “There be no doing” 表示“不可能做”。例如：1. There is no holding back the wheel of history. 历史车轮不可阻挡。2. Theres no saying what hell be doing next. 他接下去要做什么，很难断言。3. There is no bearing such rude remarks. 如此粗话，叫人根本无法忍受。专项练习：1.
