语法Grammar
It is+ adj. +of/for sb+ to-infinitive
1) It is+ adj.+ to-infinitive
“It is+形容词+动词不定式”可以用来描述行为和情境。在该句型中,it是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。把真正的主语放在句末而用it作形式主语也是为了句子的协调,避免“头重脚轻”。该句型中的形容词是用来描述行为或情境的。
如:It is dangerous to play football in the street.在街上踢足球是危险的。
It is hard to understand what he said.要理解他的话是很难的。
2) It is+ adj.+ for…+to-infinitive
“It is+形容词+for…+动词不定式”可以用来具体说明正在谈论的事情。在该句型中,it是形式主语,for后面所引导的人或物是动词不定式的逻辑主语,for sb./sth. to do sth.在英语中通常称为动词不定式的复合结构。其中的形容词用来说明不定式的特征,而不是说明人的特征或性格。用于该句型的常见形容词有:hard,difficult,easy,important, interesting, dangerous, possible, 'impossible, meaningful, comfortable, uncomfortable等。
如:It's difficult for you to pass the exam.对你来说通过这次考试是困难的。
3) It is+ adj.+ of…+ to do sth.
“It is+形容词+ of…+ 动词不定式”结构用来对某人的品质、性格等作出评价,其中的形容词必须是表示人的品质、性格等的形容词。it是形式主语,没有实际意义。
该结构中的sb.和(not) to do sth.有着逻辑上的主谓关系,所以该句型又可以转换成“sb.+ be+ adj.+(not) to do sth.”。用于该句型的常见形容词有:careless,careful,clever, foolish, good, kind, nice, polite, impolite, rude, selfish, generous, wise, silly, modest, proud, thoughtful等。
如: It's very nice of you to give me a gift. =You are very nice to give me a gift.你送给我礼物,你真好。
It is silly of you not to forgive others for their mistakes.
=You are silly not to forgive others for their mistakes.
你不原谅别人的错误是愚蠢的。
