[讨论]being出现时候是否一定错?

根据NN们总结,being 出现的时候一般都是错的,在 "介词+being+动词的过去分词" 是个例外

下题是否也算个例外?Answer is C,

Because the enemy's new ship is the quietest and it is therefore the most elusive submarine it is being increasing viewed by the military as  a threat to security.

A  and it is therefore the most elusive submarine, it is being increasingly viewed

B  it is therefore  the most elusive of submarines and it has increased the view

C  and therefore the most elusive submarine, it is being increasingly viewed

D  and therefore it is the most elusive submarines, there is an increasing view

E  therefore being the most elusive of submarines, it is increasingly viewed

这个 being (it is being increasingly viewed by...) 是现在被动进行时的组成部分, 不可分开的.

People who study for GMAT for a while quickly learn that being  is usually wrong.

So I'm guessing you already know that being  in an answer choice is wrong more often than it is right.

This is a good strategy to get you started, but to get over 700 on the GMAT, you really need to know some of the finer points of GMAT Sentence Correction that relate to the use of the word being.

There are at least two different situations in which being  is often the right answer.

Here is the first example of when being  is correct:

When the grammar requires it.

Yes, I'm trying to simplify things here, but the idea is this--many ideas can be expressed in more than one way. For example, I can say:

I'm afraid of being late.

I'm afraid that I'll be late.

Each has its own emphasis, but the point is that these two structures exist.

Whether we can express ideas in one or more structures is really related to the word used; in other words, it is idiomatic.

But some idioms allow only one structure. For example:

In addition to being one of the first restaurants to combine Mediterranean and American tastes, Chez Panisse in Berkeley is also one of the Bay Area's most established restaurants.

The idiomatic structure in addition to  does not have a counterpart that uses a subject and a verb, so our only option here is to use being, which is grammatically a noun, but is derived from a verb.

The second example of when being  is correct is shown in this example:

There are many reasons to get an MBA, with increased career prospects being the most important for many MBA applicants.

Technically this part here:

with increased career prospects being the most important for many MBA applicants

is an absolute phrase, but I think it's also helpful just to memorize the pattern:

with + NOUN + being + NOUN COMPLEMENT

呵呵,谢谢!
