And look how many strangers there are here today……请问how many后面不是跟疑问句式吗?所以不是are there,但这里用了there are,是由于整个句子是陈述语序,所以how many后面也跟的陈述语序吗?那是否大部分疑问词也是这种使用方法呢?
And look how many strangers there are here today.
【翻译】看看今天有多少陌生人在这里。
【剖析】本句中,how many strangers there are here today是陈述语序,由于它做了look的宾语从句。
说来奇怪,一般用作不及物动词的look,后面跟了从句后,居然变得及物了。又如:
Look how many people have been saved. 看看有多少人被救了。
Look how our plants have shot up. 瞧大家的庄稼长得多快。
Please look what time the train starts. 请看一下火车开动时间。
Look what Denise has given me for Christmas! 看丹尼斯送我什么圣诞节礼物了!
