Question

英语单选：

问题：He was more or less disappointed at_____more guests.
A.not having B.there not having C.not having been D.there not having been
我根据语感选择了B，不知道对不对，请大侠帮我分析下，谢谢！
我刚看到一个句子 He was disappointed at there being so few present at his birthday party.

Answer 1

He was more or less disappointed at_____more guests.
A.not having B.there not having C.not having been D.there not having been
选项是D.
这题是考查动名词在介词at后面作宾语的用法。选项D就是there be 的动名词的完成形式，作介词at的宾语。
如果我的回答对你有帮助，请及时采纳，谢谢！

你看我的问题补充句 He was disappointed at there being so few present at his birthday party.这里用的也不是完成时

追答

He was more or less disappointed at_____more guests.
A.not having B.there not having C.not having been D.there not having been
这题考察的就是动名词在介词at后面作宾语的用法。不过，只是动名词的完成形式和动名词的一般形式之分。这句话的意思是：“他或多或少对【已经】没有更多的客人感到失望”。(截止到他感到失望时【已经】还没有更多的客人)。你说是吗？
我已经看到了你的问题补充句 He was disappointed at there being so few present at his birthday party.这里确实没用完成时。
A.not having 是用来凑数的选项， B.there not having 是受中文的影响there have.。C.not having been 如果C选项正确，那么A选项应该也正确。这样我就可以直接说：【不可能有两个答案】，你说是吗？

追问

总觉得D加了个been 是被动语态，而来了多少客人不是被动语态。
have done 做完了 have been done 被做完了

你觉得呢？

追答

被动语态的构成是be+过去分词。have done 【做】完了 have been done 被【做】完了】是没有错。
但是D.there not having been选项的been只是be的过去分词，在这个be(en)后面没有实意动词的过去分词，D选项不是被动语态。

追问

哦，经你解释明白了，不是被动语态。那补充语句中描述的是现在语态吗？那里是不是也可以用完成时态呢？

追答

He was disappointed at there being so few present at his birthday party.
此句用动名词的完成形式：
He was disappointed at there having been so few present at his birthday party.是正确的。

Answer 2

来的客人不多，他或多或少有些失落/失望。
句式：be disappointed at doing sth
At后面应直接加动词的Ing形式，所以排除B D，C是完成时，不符合句意，排除，最后选A

Answer 3

选D，原题和你看到的句子在语境上有些区别，
原题的意思 楼上那位老师解释的很清楚了，是事后，过去的过去
He was disappointed at there being so few present at his birthday party.
此句，的语境是 失望和礼物上同一时段发生的，就是生日party还正在开的时候，我发现礼物很少，当时就令我失望 了。

Answer 4

选B

Answer 5

D

Answer 6
