there is light / 某處發生了某事

這裡的 there is 不是指「那裡有一個東西」,而是描述環境中存在著光/煙 時,習慣用 There is / There are 這個開頭。

There is light 有光

  • There is light in the house.房子裡有光 / 屋子裡亮著燈
    • light 當作不可數名詞,「光線、亮度」
  • There is a light on in the bedroom.(臥室裡有一盞燈亮著。)
    • light是可數時(指發光的「燈泡」): 當你在講一顆燈泡,它就是一個具體的「物體」
    • light 後面要加上 on,後置形容詞,形容燈是打開的。
    • two lights 兩盞燈

其它說法:

  • The lights are on in the house.(屋子裡的燈開著 / 亮著燈)
