Answer 1

最佳解答

There is a lack of equipment ; therefore , the harvest is lower than we estimated.

=>請問此句為啥用There is 開頭?這是英文句型的什麼用法呢?

There is + 單數可數名詞 或 不可數名詞

There are + 複數可數名詞

這是表達 存在著 的句型

例如

There is a book on the desk. 桌上有一本書( 雖然說有, 但不是代表擁有, 而是指存在)

There are many cars on the road. 道路上有很多車

您的句子

There is a lack of equipment.

代表There is 後面的名詞是存在著的

也就是說, 有 a lack of equipment 設備不足的狀況 (因此導致收穫的成果不如我們所預估的)

請問 a lack of這個句型後面可接什麼詞?可接 the嗎?

請問 a lack of的用法是如何可否舉例句?

lack 這個字可當動詞, 也可當名詞

There is a lack of equipment.

此句中的lack是名詞, 是缺乏, 不足的意思

如果要說明缺的是什麼, 先加上 of , 再加上名詞

至於可否用the 代替 a? 個人認為是可以的

There is the lack of equipment. 使用定冠詞 the有比較強調就是缺設備的這項原因導至後面的結果

原句

There is a lack of equipment ; therefore , the harvest is lower than we estimated.

可以有2種改寫方式(不改變分號後面的部分)

(1) 用名詞 lack

We are in (the) lack of equipment; therefore , the harvest is lower than we estimated.

(2) 用動詞 lack

We lack the equipment; therefore, the harvest is lower than we estimated.

其他例句

There is a lack of love in our society today.

今日的社會缺乏愛( lack 為名詞)

I am in lack of money.

我缺錢 ( lack 為名詞, in lack of 為常用片語)

She always lacks concentration in a test.

她考試時總是專注力不足( lack 為動詞)

(end)
