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
, b% l- O/ w7 l  \. S* o, V8 g2。我会说：I almost lost the chance (that) I had been expecting for a long time.

! e% G! p$ _# C( y1。对这个解释还是不太理解， 或者说是个新的概念
- o3 `) b) L7 K- d; E2。这是个办法！ 如果我说， I almost lost the chance have been expected for a long time.  行不行。

3 D$ p' J; `+ p3 i/ k1 ?2 e. {

不行。不通。
; T+ |1 \, D4 _赞成chengming说的
i almost lost the chance i had been expecting for a long time.

说的啰嗦一点其实是
# e- L& g' j5 u+ @  ^. Q2 [9 J.....the chance THAT i had been expecting for a long time.
1 |0 C9 G+ i! L9 {6 \/ h2 bthat 后面的是用来修饰chance的
8 S& h; p! Z3 x

  V3 d) O$ F* C3 xi almost lost the chance expected for a long time.不大好。
首先for a  long time是一个时间段，表示一个持续性的动作，用have been doing比较好
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

) V: A3 y" H" @( ?举个例子
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）

0 p# L1 B" ?. u" ], r' N' d8 B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.
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
" b4 U! d# d& `, W2 x) J3 C
2的话，比较赞成卖啃吸的意见。

I would say:
1 g3 D; b3 H4 k9 C' n$ ^, l; `# FI almost missed an opportunity that I had been expecting for a long time.

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.:)
