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
; e  F: H! n+ S3 l2。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
% ?: T! J3 ~( C# p4 s: T2。这是个办法！ 如果我说， I almost lost the chance have been expected for a long time.  行不行。

.....the chance THAT i had been expecting for a long time.
that 后面的是用来修饰chance的

* s) J/ T4 K: d% C& u8 ]* a其次something expected一般是表示被别人期望或者预期的
而这里你想表达自己的希望

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）

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.
/ k& o! J8 u) m& b9 p, `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.

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

$ A" V5 a1 P- r2的话，比较赞成卖啃吸的意见。

I would say:
& D1 K4 S+ Q5 q4 o! u- jI almost missed an opportunity that I had been expecting for a long time.

pearlqq2005

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.:)
