應該是

"There is no business transaction today and yesterday."

還是

"There was no business transaction today and yesterday."?

如果把 today 和 yesterday 的次序調換,答案會否不同?

✔ 最佳答案
正確是用過去式

"There was no business transaction today and yesterday."

因為

如果句子中有過去的時間詞,不論含有現在式,全句(動詞)就一定要用過去式。


如果把 today 和 yesterday 的次序調換,答案不會不同

因為

yesterday(過去式) 的影響較today(現在式)大

其實也涉及到時間上---today 的時期較短,yesterday 的時期較長

所以

yesterday(過去式) 的權力較today(現在式)大

如果以合適性來講,你描述的都是過去的事情,所以雖然是今天,但已發生,所以用 past tense 是對的:
There was no business transaction today and yesterday.
