094. Where there is... there is...

[句型解析]
我們都知道“有志者事竟成”這個(gè)成語(yǔ),但你知不知道和它對(duì)應(yīng)的英語(yǔ)是怎么說(shuō)的呢?其實(shí)也很簡(jiǎn)單,那就是“Where there is a will , there is a way.”意思是有決心,有毅力的人總能找到方法去實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的理想。這里的“will”是名詞,意為“決心,意志”。句中的結(jié)構(gòu)“Where there is...there is...”就是我們常說(shuō)的“哪兒有……哪兒就有……”。
