倒装疑问（be they sexual minorities）

Why are disadvantaged groups （be they sexual minorities,people withdisabilities,you name it）so absent from this tready world?老师们好，请问括号里的句子为什么这么写呢

这是让步状语从句的古体形式，为正式语体。省略了连词whether，动词原型be为虚拟语气，倒装于主语之前。现代英语可用陈述语气形式代替虚拟语气

be they sexual minorities, people withdisabilities 虚拟语气

= whether they be sexual minorities, people withdisabilities 虚拟语气

= whether they may be sexual minorities,people withdisabilities 虚拟语气

= whether they are sexual minorities,people withdisabilities 陈述语气
