求教高人（英语）

chengming

1。这里只是介词，因为没有名词的作用。 注：动名词也是一种介词
2。我会说：I almost lost the chance (that) I had been expecting for a long time.

1。对这个解释还是不太理解， 或者说是个新的概念
. p4 A7 w; g" [! L2。这是个办法！ 如果我说， I almost lost the chance have been expected for a long time.  行不行。

+ c8 g! S$ ]- ^/ G8 v
' S- \" I  F% @* y( `. F2 P, C不行。不通。
) X1 ^4 H! h4 ^! G* A& H1 _. ~赞成chengming说的
) O* R" I" Y# pi almost lost the chance i had been expecting for a long time.

3 D4 X8 x0 Y7 f3 Q2 z! X4 U: ?说的啰嗦一点其实是
.....the chance THAT i had been expecting for a long time.
that 后面的是用来修饰chance的
8 ~2 x/ n4 P! [- E% _

i almost lost the chance expected for a long time.不大好。
首先for a  long time是一个时间段，表示一个持续性的动作，用have been doing比较好
$ A  [; {# }7 e& H: ]其次something expected一般是表示被别人期望或者预期的
5 W) H9 x+ G/ g! J0 E' ^; m$ T而这里你想表达自己的希望
1 H( a0 O* _! k1 a& {8 s& J( Y
& x  g& t$ T: `# E: }. k* s7 }举个例子
He was expected to be a doctor. 他曾被期望成为一个医生。（可能是他爸妈对他的期望，但是事实呢？可能他做了别的工作）
# C, ~7 M( x) y. _) Z& V

  E4 E; W: K2 i5 |1。对这个解释还是不太理解， 或者说是个新的概念

1 i; J* J% Q5 ^$ u+ w; B# H5 z0 [
8 J9 w9 {6 r% Q$ B' T不行。要么你说 I almost lost the chance which/that had been expected for a long time, 要么 I almost lost the chance (that) I have expected for a long time.
) Q# W8 U+ }1 n* k* _前面一句的that或which不能省略，因为他们在从句中是主语。后面一句的that可以省略，因为他是宾语。

想要简单的说的话： Having expected the chance for a long time, I almost lost it.

想要简单的说的话： Having expected the chance for a long time, I almost lost it.

这个有点不好，因为Having expected the chance for a long time这个开头强调时间，它以后一般要说等长时间的一个结果，例如Having expected the chance for a long time, I was ready for it when it came along.

6 L$ g! ?4 K; |3 }: _' `  X+ D' }

2。这是个办法！ 如果我说， I almost lost the chance have been expected for a long time.  行不行。

再给你一个新的：I almost lost a long-expected chance.

个人以为1是分词作状语

2的话，比较赞成卖啃吸的意见。

I would say:
I almost missed an opportunity that I had been expecting for a long time.

我认为第一个问题是分词做伴随状语，应该不是介词吧。第二个问题同意ls的意见I almost missed an opportunity that I had been expecting for a long time.:)
