Analyze the important sentences among the text:

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

译：据估计，在英国工作的外籍家佣有20000多人。

句子分析：此句为there be句型的变体。该句型是英语中常见句式，称“存在句”谓语动词一般由be充当，但还可以根据句意换成其它动词，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是现在分词作定语，修饰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)

译：根据某个设在伦敦的帮助在英国工作的国外佣人的活动组织声称，在这20000名佣人中又近2000人被他们的雇主剥削和虐待。
