[正] There are three thousand students in the school.
注:英語動詞 have 有三義:(1)物質(zhì)上的所有,如 I have a lot of friends. (2)身心上的具有:如 I have a poor memory. (3)構(gòu)成上的含有:如A week has seven days = There are seven days in a week. 例句中的 have 與(3)相似,但仍是似是而非,因?qū)W校是一個地點,不是機構(gòu),學校與學生的關(guān)系,不是不可分離的,不像星期少了一天就不成。還有“there + be”愿意為“存在”,存在于某處,因而變成“有”的意思。
