关于YET的用法

dlthomas

Former residents are still dealing with ongoing health issues they believe are related to emissions and odours from the old plant.

However, the new plant uses improved technologies and there are yet to be any complaints about emissions.

看看YET TO BE 这儿就是NOT，根据上下文分析。这是个固定短语？

我的理解是 Yet 除了最常见的Not Yet,也可以放在问句里.
Have you done it yet?

还有有转折的意思,在肯定句里.
He is handsome yet selfish.

我觉得Yet to be 除了 Not的意思外,还有表示虽然没做/发生还是将去做/预期会发生的.
但 Not 似乎就是表示一个事实(过去的或现在).

小奥同学的胜选演讲 "The best is yet to come"......
字面”最好的还没有到来“。。。有点”革命尚未成功同志仍需努力“的意味 。。。

是否定的意思
我个人不倾向以固定词语来理解，因为 yet 是那些灵活百搭的小词之一
这涉及 yet 的用法和 to 后面是 be 还是动词的两个问题
如果这样写的话：
The residents are yet to complain ...
yet to v. (yet to 动词)
yet to be + noun (compaints 名词);
分开来看有助于以后对其百搭的理解
