百变”的there be句型
句式I. There be+主语
这种句式表示事物的客观存在,There be放在句首,而把真正的主语放在后面,可以用来表示现在时、过去时、完成时和将来时。例如:
There is a boy on the playground. 操场上有个男孩。
There was ice on the lake last week. 上星期湖上结了冰。
句式II. There be+数字(some, any, no)+名词
这种句式常用来表示有多少人或物,以及没有东西、时间、问题等。例如:
There are six people there. 那里有六个人。
句式III. There be+复合不定代词(somebody, anything等)
当句子主语是:somebody, anybody, nobody, something, anything或nothing时,常用there be来引导。例如:
There is somebody here who wants to speak to you. 这里有人要和你说话。
句式IV. There be+名词+分词
这种句式中分词可以是现在分词,也可以是过去分词,而且这种句式可以用"主语+be+分词"这一结构来代替。例如:
There is a boy playing with a puppy in the yard. ( = A boy is playing with
a puppy in the yard.) 一个男孩正在院子里和一只小狗玩耍。
There has been more money spent on armaments than on famine relief. (=More money has been spent on armaments than on famine relief.)花在军备上的钱比花在救灾上的钱还多。
句式V. There be+名词+动词不定式
这种句式中的及物动词(动词不定式)也可改成被动式, 意为"(没)有……要做"。例如:
There is a lot of work to do (to be done). 有许多工作要做。
There was no time to wait for you. 没有时间再等你了。
句式VI. There is+no+动名词
这种句式可与"It is impossible+动词不定式"替换,意为"无法做某事"。例如:
There is no stopping him. (=It is impossible to stop him.)无法阻止他。
There is no guessing what will happen. 无法猜到将会发生什么。
句式VII. There is(no) need for+名词
该句式意为"(不)需要……"。例如:
There is no need for anxiety. 不需要担心。
There is a great need for a book on this subject. 非常需要有一本关于这个题目的书。
句式VIII. There is no need+动词不定式
例如:
There is no need for him to come. 不需要他来了。
There is no need (for you) to start yet. (你)现在还没有必要动身。
句式IX. There is no use+动名词
该句式可与"It is no use+动名词"互换,意为"……无用(无济于事)"。例如:
There is no use waiting any longer.(=It is no use waiting any longer.) 再等下去是没有用的。
There is no use(in) offering the olive branch now. 现在想和解也无济于事了。
句式X. There is nothing to do
该句式与There is nothing to be done. 含义不同。前者意为:"无事可做",后者意为"没有办法"。试比较:

无事可做--我感到闷得慌。
(=There is nothing to entertain me.) 没有什么活动来消遣。
There is nothing to be done-we'll have to buy another one. 没有办法--我们只好另外买一个了。(= There is no way off putting it right.)
句式XI. There is nothing like...as

句式XII. There is nothing more...than
该句式意为"再……不过了"。例如:
There is nothing more dangerous than an illusion of security. 太平无事的想法是再危险不过的了。
句式XIII. There is no(not any) point in+动名词
该句式意为:"……是没有意义(思)的。"例如:
There is no point in doing so. 这样做是没有意义的。
There is not any point in harping on the same old tune. 没有必要再重复这一套。
句式XIV. There might (could) be+名词
这种结构表示"可能"。例如:
There might be some good songs
after all this trash.在播放了这些乱七八糟的歌曲之后,可能会放几首好歌。
If the power hadn't been cut off so quickly, there could have been a big fire. 要不是迅速切断电源,可能会引发一场大火。
句式XIV. There is a possibility of(或that)
该句式表示"有可能"。例如:
There is a possibility of my going to Denmark. (= There is a possibility that I may be able to go to Denmark.) 我有可能去丹麦。
句式XVI. There+人称代词+come(go)/there come(go)+名词
该句式是there作感叹词放在句首。如果主语是人称代词,则动词放在其后;如果主语是名词,则动词放在其前。例如:
There they come!他们来了!
There comes the bus at last!公共汽车终于来啦!
句式XVII. There+动词
这种句式只限于表示存在某种状态、发生某种事或某事、某人到达等动词,如seem, appear, live, exist, happen, arise, enter, come, go, remain等,而不适用于表示一般具体行动的动词。例如:
There seems to be something wrong about it. 这事好像有点儿不大对头。
