Dining Room or There is Nothing
Dining Room or There is Nothing refers to a minute long short film that features a girl sitting at a dining room table, and things get weirder from there.
Origin
The short film was created by David B. Earle and uploaded to his YouTube channel in 2006. It depicts a gray skinned girl sitting at the dining room table with spoon in hand. In the background, a fire is visible through the window. She starts off with her eyes closed, before opening them, where she proceeds to talk nonsense to the viewer (this phrase is actually backwards). As she does this, the camera zooms slowly out down the table. As we move back, the girl faceplants in her bowl. After a while the camera stops moving, and it lingers on the scene for a bit until the scene starts reversing. The girl ends up getting back to her previous position and speaks clearly «There is nothing». She then closely her eyes again, ending the film.
The film was meant to show a scenario that can be looped infinitely.
Spread
The video was a viral hit. On his website, Earle states that the download file for the film has over 3,000 downloads now.
In recent years, the video has been the subject of reaction videos, explanation videos, and general parodies. Many videos related to scary videos have brought up this video quite a bit, too.

Конструкция There Is и There Are в английском языке
Нет времени? Сохрани в
Все же слыхали про ситуацию с мухой в тарелке супа? Если (не дай бог) с вами такое произойдет, то пожаловаться официанту и потребовать замены блюда следует незамедлительно! Waiter! There’s a FLY in my soup! Woop!
Конструкция предложения кажется довольно простой, но, как ни странно, в английском языке оборот «there is» / «there are» часто вызывает у многих сложности как в построении, так и в переводе и, соответственно, в употреблении. Так когда ставится there is, а когда there are?
But since you’re with us! There’ll be no problems! Вы навсегда запомните этот оборот и будете с ним «на ты», внимательно читая и запоминая данную статью, разумеется. So, check it out!
Содержание статьи:
Что означает there is/there are
Оборот «there» + «be» переводится, начиная с обстоятельства места, которое обычно находится в конце предложения:
There is a cat in the box.
В коробке (есть) кот.
Если обстоятельства места нет, то при переводе предложение начинается со слов «есть», «имеется», «существует», «бывает», «находится» и т. п. В принципе зачастую «there is/ there are» и вовсе не переводится. Такой вот
«невидимый», но крайне необходимый оборот.

Когда употребляется there is и there are
«There is» и «there are» используют, когда хотят сказать, что что-то существует (не существует) или находится (не находится) в конкретном месте.
«There is» указывает на наличие в определенном месте какого-то одного предмета (лица). Также используется с неопределенными подлежащими (это когда используется неопределенный артикль («a», «an»), когда артикля нет, или используются слова «some», «any», «no»), и с неопределенными местоимениями как «somebody», «nothing».
There’s something that makes me feel worried. – Меня что-то тревожит.
«There are» указывает на наличие в определенном месте нескольких (многих) предметов (лиц).
There are two cats on the couch. – На диване (есть) 2 кота.
Обратите внимание: слово «there» (там) в обороте «there is / there are» не имеет самостоятельного значения и составляет неразделимое целое с «is/are». Если по смыслу необходимо выразить обстоятельство места словом «there» — «там», то «there» повторяем в конце предложения.
There are so many boxes there. – Там (есть) так много ящиков.
Структура предложений с there is и there are
Для полного понимания мы представляем вам простую формулу и ниже пример с цифрами для наглядности:
(1) «There is / there are» + (2) подлежащее + (3) обстоятельство места или времени.
(1) There are (2) a lot of flowers (3) in the garden.
Утвердительные предложения
Напоминаем! Мы используем «there is» для единственного числа, а «there are» для множественного.
There is one table in the classroom.
There are three cats on the couch.
There is a spider in the bath.
There are many sinners in Hell.
«There is» также используем с неисчисляемыми существительными (uncountable nouns):
There is milk in the fridge.
There is some sugar on the table.
There is ice cream on your shirt.
Число глагола «be» определяется по числу первого существительного, стоящего после этого оборота:
There is a table and two chairs in the room.
There are two cats and a midget in the car.
Сокращения (contractions). «There is» в упрощенном варианте становится «there’s». Почти всегда в неформальной переписке или в разговорной речи используется именно такой вариант оборота.
There’s a good song on the radio.
There’s only one chocolate bar left in the box.
Сокращать, как известно, можно по-разному, но обратите внимание на вариант с «are»:
there is not = there’s not = there isn’t / there are not = there aren’t. There’s no contraction of «there are». Pay attention!
There are nine cats on the roof.
There are only five weeks until my birthday.
Говоря о неформальном общении, мы можем использовать «there’s», даже когда речь идет о множественном числе. Но не вздумайте использовать это в формальной переписке или на экзамене. This is forbidden.
There’s three other people who are still to come.
There’s lots of cars in the car park.
Обычно «there» не используется с определенным подлежащим.
The door was open. – Дверь открыта. (Ошибка: «There was the door open.»)
Вопросительные предложения
Вопросы формируются обычной перестановкой (подлежащее «there» меняется местами со сказуемым «be»):
Is there anybody at home?
Are there any cats on the floor?
При постановке вопроса к определению подлежащего используются вопросительные слова «how many», «how much» сколько и вопросительное местоимение «what», которые предшествуют подлежащему:
How many cats are there on the couch?
How much water is there in the bottle?
What is there in the box?
В ответе на последний вопрос глагол «to be» может употребляться и во множественном числе, если констатируется факт наличия нескольких предметов или явлений (или, например, в случае их перечисления):
There are some guns.
«How many» с «are there». Если мы хотим узнать количество существующих объектов, то используем «how many» по следующей структуре:
«How many» + существительное во множественном числе + «are there» (+ дополнение).
How many dogs are there in the park?
How many students are there in your class?
How many gangsters are there in Chicago?
How many horror movies are there in your collection?
«There» можно использовать и в «question tags» (краткий общий вопрос, утверждающий вопрос).
There’ll be enough boxes for everyone, won’t there?
Отрицательные предложения
В отрицательных предложениях после глагола «to be» употребляется либо «not» (когда перед следующим за отрицанием существительным стоит местоимение или числительное), либо «no» (в остальных случаях).
There is not (isn’t) any money in the wallet. — В кошельке нет денег.
There is no money in the wallet. — В кошельке нет денег.
Краткий отрицательный ответ состоит из слова «no», за которым следуют «there» и глагол «to be» в соответствующей форме с отрицательной частицей «not»:
There «aren’t» с «any». Когда мы хотим сказать о нулевом количестве чего-либо, то используем «there aren’t any».
There aren’t any people at the party.
There aren’t any trees in my street.
То же самое касается неисчисляемых существительных:
There isn’t any water in the swimming pool.
There isn’t any sugar in my coffee.
«There» может также использоваться в предложениях, где «be» является вспомогательным глаголом в форме progressive или passive. Обратите внимание на порядок слов:
There have been more Americans killed in road accidents than in all the wars since 1900.
There’ll be somebody meeting you at the airport.
Также конструкцию можно использовать с модальными глаголами:
There must be somebody inside — ring again.
There may be a mistake — check again.
There might be some prey running around — I should be attentive.
На русский язык эта структуру следует также переводить с конца.

Конструкции «there is» и «there are» используются только по отношению к новой информации. Если что-либо уже упоминалось в контексте, то тогда следует употреблять «it is» или «they are».
Мы также используем «it» + «to be» + прилагательное + инфинитивные обороты (infinitive clauses). В таких предложениях акцент падает на инфинитивный оборот:
It’s nice to meet you.
It’s hard to hear anything with this noise.
Was it easy to understand him?
It’ll be difficult to fit into the box.
