#英语短语#
无论你喜不喜欢英语,你都没少看见过 there you are 之类的表达方式,而且有的时候你可能会觉得它的意思不一般,至少用法不唯一。如果你有这种感觉,那你的第六感是准确的。There you are 虽然简洁,但用法不简单。
首先需要确定是 there you are 是一个特殊的倒装结构,之所以特殊,是因为它既不是全部倒装,也不是部分倒装,原因是主语是代词,这个记住就行了,没必要深究,除非吃饱了撑着。
There you are,也常用作 there you go,类似的还有 here you are 和 here you go,但是 there you go 和 here you go 是非正式的,因此不能对老师或老板说,否则显得很不礼貌。There you are 主要有以下几个用法:
一、意为“原来你在这儿,你在这儿啊,你就在眼前”,用来引起注意或表示惊讶,例如:
There you are! I've been looking for you everywhere.
原来你在这儿!我到处都把你找遍了。

你在这儿啊! 留下来一起吃饭好吗?
I ran over and saw you come back. And I was stunned, there you were.
我跑过去看见你回来了。我惊呆了,你就在眼前。
二、意为“给你/您;这就是你要的;拿去吧”,用于当你给别人他们想要的东西时,例如:
I’ve got your newspaper. There you are.
我有你的报纸。拿去吧。
There you are. That'll be £3.80, please.
给您,请付3英镑80便士。
Could you pass the salt?
你能把盐递给我吗?
Sure, there you go.
当然,给你。
三、意为“这就行了,就是这样”,通常在解释或释放时用,例如:
You switch on, push in the disk and there you are!
你打开开关,把磁盘推进去就行了!
There you are! I told you it was easy!
瞧,就是这样!我跟你说过这很容易!

四、意为“一贯如此,无可更改,改变不了”,用来指某事的一贯发生方式,或某种改变不了的情况,例如:
There you go. That's what they're like.
一贯如此,他们就是这个样子。

我知道这并不理想,但改变不了。
