there being的两个用法
用法一、there being相当于一个独立主格结构，可在句子中用做状语，表示原因等。如：
(1) There being too many new words, I find the text difficult. 由于生词太多，我认为课文很难。
(2) There being a lot of work to be done, I don’t know what to do. 由于很多事情要做，我不知道该如何是好。
用法二、相当于一个带有逻辑主语的动词-ing形式。在句子中可做介词(除介词for外) 的宾语。如：
(1) The crops grow well because of there being enough rain this year. 由于今年雨水充足，庄稼长得很好。
(2) Judging from there being no much furniture in the house, we know that they are very poor. 从他家没有什么家具来看，我们知道他们很穷。
