动词不定式具有名词、形容词和副词的特征,在句子中可以作主语、表语、宾语、补足语、定语和状语,但不可单独作谓语,属于非谓语动词。本单元主要学习动词不定式作主语和表语。
一、动词不定式作主语
1.不定式作主语,表示具体的、一次性的或将来的动作;在很多情况下,人们通常用it作为形式上的主语,而把不定式移到谓语之后,使句子结构显得平稳一些。
To do that sort of thing is foolish.
做那种事真是愚蠢。
To hesitate means failure.
犹豫不决就意味着失败。

[名师点津] 不定式(短语)作主语时,谓语动词多用单数形式,而且表示一次具体行为或动作。
2.不定式(短语)、动名词(短语)都可作主语,但动名词(短语)作主语多指抽象的、概念性的动作,可以是多次的、经常的行为;不定式(短语)多表示具体的动作,尤其是某一次的动作。

3.it作形式主语,不定式(短语)作真正主语的常见句型:
(1)It+be+adj./ n.+(for sb.)+ to do sth.(某人)做某事是……
当作表语的形容词(easy,hard,difficult,important等)说明不定式行为的性质和特点时,常用“for sb.”引出不定式的逻辑主语。
It's too hard for me to persuade her to come with us tomorrow.
说服她明天跟我们一块来对我来说太难。
It was an enjoyable experience for him to attend the activity.
能够参加这次活动对他来说是一次愉快的经历。
(2)It+be+adj.+(of sb.)+ to do sth.(某人)做某事是……
当作表语的形容词(kind,nice,good等)说明不定式的逻辑主语的性格和品行时, 常用“of sb.”引出不定式的逻辑主语。
It's thoughtless of you to do so.
