11. There be句型
①在此结构中,there是引导词,在句中不能充当任何成分,也不必翻译出来。句中的主语是某人或某物,谓语动词be要与主语的数保持一致。例如:
There is a man at the door. 门口有一个人。
当主语是由两个或者两者以上的名词充当时,谓语动词be要跟它邻近的那个名词的数一致(就近一致)。例如:
There are two dogs and a cat under the table.桌下有两只狗和一只猫。
比较:There is a cat and two dogs under the table.
②There be 句型中的be不能用have来代替,但可以用lie(位于,躺),stand(矗立),exist(生存),live(生活)等词来替换。例如:
There stand a lot of tall buildings on both sides of the street. 街道两旁矗立着许多高楼。
There lies lake in front of our school.我们学校前面有一个湖。
Once there lived a king here. 这儿曾经有一个国王。
There is going to be a sports meeting next week. 下周准备开一个运动会。

There seemed to be a lot of people there. 那儿似乎有很多人。
