哪儿有……哪儿就有……
[句型解析]
我们都知道“有志者事竟成”这个成语,但你知不知道和它对应的英语是怎么说的呢?其实也很简单,那就是“Where there is a will , there is a way.”意思是有决心,有毅力的人总能找到方法去实现自己的理想。这里的“will”是名词,意为“决心,意志”。句中的结构“Where there is...there is...”就是我们常说的“哪儿有……哪儿就有……”。
[实例]
1. Where there are difficulties, there are ways to get over them.
哪儿有困难, 哪儿就有解决问题的方法。
2. Where there is opposition, there are rebellions.
哪儿有压迫, 哪儿就有反抗。
3. Where there is contact, there is friction.
哪儿有接触,哪儿就有摩擦。
4. Where there are women, there are jealousy and suspicion.
哪儿有女人,哪儿就有嫉妒和怀疑。
5. Where there is a will, there is a way.
有志者事竟成。
