注释
1． Can you let it go for 900 yuan?
直译：你可以让900元走吗？意思为：我可以花900元买它吗？这里是要求收银员把零头抹去的表达方法。
2． It'll be great to have you again.
这是欢迎下次光临的正确表达方法，而不可以说成是：Welcome back again”。
语法小结 Grammer
There be 存在句型
there be 句型就是我们说的“某地有某物”，它表示存在，它常用于一般现在时、一般过去时和一般将来时。
1. 基本结构是there be 主语 地点。
如果要表示“某地没有某物”，直接加入否定词就可以了，there be not(any, much) 主语 地点
There are some chairs in your room. 在你房间里有些椅子。
There aren't any chairs in your room. 你房间里没有椅子。
2. there be 与have 的区别
There are six chairs in my room. (强调某地有某物)在我的房间里有6把椅子。
I have six chairs. (强调某人拥有某物）我有6把椅子。
3. be 动词与后面所接的名词的单、复数保持一致
There is a girl over there. 那边有一个女孩。
There are five girls over there. 那边有5个女孩。
4. 就近原则，即当be动词后面不止一个名词时，要和紧跟其后的名词单、复数保持一致
There is a boy and two girls in the room. 房间里有一个男孩和两个女孩。
There are two girls and a boy in the room. 房间里有两个女孩和一个男孩。
5. there be 时态变化
There was an apple on the table yesterday. 昨天在桌子上有一个苹果。
