※ 引述《WinterGirl ( )》之銘言:
: ※ 引述《blaukatz (貓咪的墳上有蝴蝶)》之銘言:
: 「原」問句若為 Are there any hippos over there?
: 回答Yes, 表示同意上面的「複數」。所以「原」問句,用Is there~較好。
: 如果是用Are there~問,結果其實只有一隻,應該可以回答:
: No, (there are not many hippos over there.) there is only one.
我已經問過well-educated native speaker.就算只有一隻, 也是回答Yes.
For example,
Are there any students in the office?
Yes, there is one student in the office.
