Analyze the important sentences among the text:

1. There are estimated to be more than 20000 overseas domestic servants working in Britain (p1)

譯：據(jù)估計，在英國工作的外籍家傭有20000多人。

句子分析：此句為there be句型的變體。該句型是英語中常見句式，稱“存在句”謂語動詞一般由be充當(dāng)，但還可以根據(jù)句意換成其它動詞，如：

1). There are a lot of people in the meeting room.

2). There will be a meeting tomorrow.

3). There used to be a church at the corner of the street.

4). There happened to be an old friend of mine in the hotel.

5). There is sure to rain tomorrow.

6). There stands a bank next to my school.

另外，working in Britain是現(xiàn)在分詞作定語，修飾domestic servants。

2. Of these 20000, just under 2000 are being exploited and abused by their employers, according to a London-based campaigning group which helps overseas servants working in Britain. (p1)

譯：根據(jù)某個設(shè)在倫敦的幫助在英國工作的國外傭人的活動組織聲稱，在這20000名傭人中又近2000人被他們的雇主剝削和虐待。

句子分析：Of these 20000是狀語，under 2000是數(shù)詞作整個句子主語，are being exploited and abused是現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時態(tài)的被動語態(tài)做謂語，剩余的是狀語。另外，under是低于…不到…的意思;---based設(shè)在…的，以…為基礎(chǔ)的;

3. And they can have their passports removed, making leaving or escaping virtually impossible. (p2)
