一道四级英语语法题 There is no light____anywhere,and onlya few dim st

Answer 1

There is +名词+不定式 含义：有.可以.

这个句式习惯用不定式作后置定语修饰名词

例如：

There is a voice to be heard. 可以听到一个声音

本句中：There is no light to be seen anywhere 哪儿都看不见光亮

the light is seen 光亮被看见,所以得用被动

后面用were glittering ,因为a few stars 得用复数,而且这是描述当时的情景,所以用过去进行时

此时只有几颗黯淡的星在头顶闪烁着微光.

类似：Only the wind was blowing softly. 只有风柔柔地吹拂着.
