这个很简单就能理解了,你知道介词后面跟名词
Despite adequate notice being given disappointed there were still many applicants disappointed
这句话缩句之后就是:Despite notice...而being given 这部分是修饰notice的.如果直接写Despite notice are being given...那么这里的depsite充当的是连词,而就不是介词了.你想让这句话跟在介词后面,就必须把这整个句子都变成一种名词的形式.而“notice being given " 就是" notice are being given"的名词形式.
相同的还有:Would you mind my sitting here 这里的 my sitting 就是 I sit 的名词形式,因为mind后面要加一个名词,所以就不能直接使用这个句子的原型.
再例如:Her being late made the teacher angry.这里的her being late 就是 She was late的名词形式.但是这里要用这个句子充当主语,就不能直接把这句子的原型写上去,要改编成名词形式(还有一种改编方法是用That来引导:That she was late made the teacher angry )
介词也是和上面两个例子一样的道理
