三、语法
(一)it 作形式主语
1. 概念

例句:
It’s easy to learn English well.
学好英语很容易。
It’s a pity that we missed the bus.
我们错过了公交车,真遗憾。

它被认为是本世纪最优秀的小说之一。
It’s said that a new bridge will be built in my hometown in 2027.
据说我的家乡将在 2027 年建一座新桥。
3. 易错点
在 “It is+adj.+for /of sb. to do sth.” 结构中:
(1)若形容词侧重于评价人物的特性、特征,则构成不定式复合结构的介词应用 of,此时形容词常为 kind, nice, foolish 等。
例句:
It is generous of him to contribute so much.
他捐献了这么多真是太慷慨了。
(2)若形容词侧重于描写不定式动作的特征、特点,则构成不定式复合结构的介词应用 for,此时形容词常为 important, necessary, easy, difficult 等。
例句:
It is important for us to live a low-carbon life.
过一种低碳生活对我们来说很重要。
(二)(not) adj. + enough + to do sth.
1. 含义
(1)该结构用来表示某人或某物在某方面达到或未达到某种程度,意为 “(不)足够……”。
(2)enough 在此处是副词,修饰形容词,且置于形容词之后,意思是 “足够地”。
(3)enough 后可以接 to do 不定式作结果状语。
2. 结构
(1)肯定形式:主语+be动词+adj.+enough+to do sth.
例句:
He is old enough to go to school.
他长大了,可以去上学了。
It’s warm enough to eat outside.
天气很暖和,可以在外面吃饭了。

这个箱子对我来说不够轻,我搬不动。
I’m not strong enough to lift him.
我力气不够大,举不起他。
3. 拓展
too+形容词+to do sth. 太……而不能……
解析:
①和“not+adj.+enough+to do sth.”都表达因为程度不够,而无法做某事。
②“too...to”结构中的形容词,是“not...enough”结构中形容词的反义词。
例句:
The box is not light enough for me to carry.
→ The box is too heavy for me to carry.
这个箱子太重了,我搬不动。
