Has there been an accident? 出事了吗?
Have there been any new developments? 有什么新的发展吗?

四、there be的非谓语形式
there be结构的非谓语形式有两种,即there being和there to be。
1. there being结构:该结构在句子中主要用作状语。如:
There being nothing to do, I went to bed. 因为没事可做,所以我就上床睡觉了。
There being no taxi available, he had to walk home. 由于没有计程车可搭,他只好步行回家。
这类结构有时可与状语从句转换,如上面两句也可作如下改写:
As there was nothing to do, I went to bed.
As there was no taxi available, he had to walk home.
另外,there being结构还可用作介词宾语。如:
Whats the chance of there being an election this year? 今年举行选举的可能性有多大?
No one would have dreamed of there being such a good place. 没有人会梦想到竟有这样一个地方。
2. there to be 结构:主要用作动词宾语。可接该结构可用作动词的动词不多,常见的like, prefer, hate, want, mean, intend, expect, consider等。如:
