有一篇名为《中国人学英语常见错误》的文章说上面的句子是错误的，因为“这个句型混乱，既用 there + to be 的句型，又用了主谓结构句型。”上面的句子真的是错误的吗？
见 there is a man[ ]lives ...。
. [ ] (无主语) there is/are
No one would have time to read or listen to an account of everything ____ going on in the world.
A. it is B. as is C. there is D. what is(全国研考,96-10)
试题要求选 C。但是,这样一来,there is going 便没有主语了。这样的句子是否正确?
在前一条目中我们已经谈到,存在句型的定语从句可以省略主语。你提出的试题涉及到英语惯用法的另一个侧面:充当定语的存在句型,其本身可以省略主语,下面是从英文原著中摘取的一些实例:
-
The number of mistakes [ ] there are in this homework is simply astounding. 这份作业中的错误多得惊人。
