可以使用there be结构的否定形式,来表达对某一具体行为和抽象概念的否定,这时可使用"There is+no+Noun+in doing something"的形式。如:There is no harm in doing that. There is no disgrace in failing once.这时候,该结构中的介词可以省略,如:There is no use asking her.

在英文中,be动词的时态可以根据需要有多种变化,在there be结构中也不例外:There is going to be a football match tonight./There were many children in the park last Sunday./There has been much talk about current affairs.

虽然there be是一个固定结构,但在这个结构中,谓语动词有时可以不使用be,而使用seem to be(似乎有),happen to be(碰巧有),be likely to be(可能有),used to be(过去有),exist(存在),occur(出现),stand(有),lie(有),如:There used to be a temple at the foot of the mountain./There seems to be no trouble.

英文俚语--It's like banging your head against a brick wall.
这句话从字面上翻译是"就像用你的头撞墙"。用头撞墙的结果肯定是白费力气。所以,在俚语中,人们把这句话引申为"白费力气,徒劳无功"。例如:You're knocking your head against a brick wall.(你在做徒劳无益的事。)
