我的理解是,在It was a bit lonely being an only child 中,it 为形式主语,真正的主语是动名词短语 being an only child,所以句子的意思就是:成为独生子女(being an only child)这件事让人感到寂寞。换句话说,我认为 being an only child 与 an only child 在意义上是有区别的...

若语义需要,because of后面完全可以接动名词。如:He was feeling unhappy because of being separated from other people. He was feeling unhappy because of having no money to buy what he liked.有时动名词前还可以有其逻辑主语。如:I said nothing about it, because of his wife’s being there.
