为什么要用being
He apologized to the chairman for being late.
I apologize for not being able to join you for dinner.
为什么这两个句子都要用being
为什么要用beingHe apologized to the chairman for being late.I apo
两个句子中的 for 都是介词,后面要求用名词或动名词充当介词宾语.
  第一个句子中的 late 是形容词,不能直接用作宾语,要么变成名词 lateness,要么加上系动词变成动名词短语being late,这样才可以用作介词宾语.
  同理,第二句的 be able to 是系表结构的复合情态动词,要用作介词 for 的宾语,必须将其改为动名词being able to 方可.
再问: 张老师,新年好 !请问:形容词不能作介词宾语,那么形容词性物主代词能作介词宾语么?我能否把 He apologized to the chairman for being late.改为 He apologized to the chairman for his late.
再答: his 不是宾语,而是定语,但不能修饰形容词 late,可以把 late 改为名词 lateness,即 for his lateness
