单词 | there is(there are) |
释义 | there is : there are — 1028 1a. 一般说来,由 there 这个引导词引导的 be 动词,主语如果是单数,要用 is 或 was ;如果是复数,则要用 are 或 were 。 比较: There is only one person standing over there. 只有一个人站在那边。 There are many persons standing over there. 有许多人站在那边。 1b. 但是,在下列情况,那个 be 动词则要用其单数形式:第一,主语是复数而可以作为一个总数或总量,即作为一个单元来理解的;第二,复数或成对的主语可以作为一个概念来理解的;第三,重复的主语而把单数放在首位的;第四,重复的主语每个都饰有定语的;第五,重复的主语是一个一个或逐步列举而第一个又是单数的。 例如: There is only five miles to go. 只要再走五里路就到了。 (例一) There is a couch and four in front of the gate. 大门口停着一辆四匹马拉的马车。(例二) There is my wife and family to cousider. 只有老婆孩子需要考虑。(例三) There is an old machine, now unused for years , and a new one just imported from Japan in our factory. 我们工厂里有一部多年来未用的旧机器和一部刚从日本进口的新机器。 (例四) There is one book, let me see , two pens and … three pencils on the table. 桌上有一本书,让我看还有两支钢笔和…… 3 支铅笔。(例五) |
