Nobody expected there ( ) anything like that within a destro

  • 选择 D.to be

    解析:

    动词 expect 常要求跟由不定式充当宾语补足语的复合宾语(宾语 + 不定式宾补),常用下面两种结构——

    1、expect sb.to do sth.希望某人做某事

    (例句略)

    2、expect sb./sth.to be ...要求某人或某事物呈现某种属性或状态,如:

    * expect his son to be an engineer.希望自己的儿子成为工程师.

    * expect the boy to be well-behaved 要求那孩子彬彬有礼

    * expect the room to be his own 希望那个房间属于他个人所有

    * expect the room to be clean and tidy 要求房间要整洁

    3、expect there to be sth.

    这个结构其实是 expect sth.to be there 的倒装语序,但是由于两种不同语序的分别使用,意思上也出现了些微的差别,前者指“希望某处有某物”,后者则指“希望某物在某处”.本句中——

    expected there (to be) anything like that within a destroyed house 就是 expected anything (to be) there like that within a destroyed house变态而来的倒装结构,意思是“希望在一个被破坏的房屋内部有都是那样的任何东西”.

    翻译:谁也不希望在一个被破坏的房屋内部有那样的任何东西
