Question

There is a lot of room for tables and chairs.

Answer 1

1.How much room for tables and chairs is there?

分析:

由于句中是There is a lot of room,a lot of既可以修饰可数名词也可以修饰不可数名词,如果此处的room为"房间",那么应该是There are a lot of rooms,这与原句不符.因此,此处的room应译为"空间",是抽象名词,不可数名词.对不可数名词的数量提问,应为How much.is there?

即:How much room for tables and chairs is there?另外,这句话中的room for tables and chairs是一个整体,不能分开.同时也不会影响后面的be动词,因为How much room for tables and chairs is there?中的is是修饰the room的.

2.正确.
