“It is + adj.”是初中英語中出現(xiàn)頻率非常高的句型之一,現(xiàn)將常見的“It is + adj.”句型歸納如下。
一、It is + adj. + that + 從句
此句型常用來說明對(duì)某事的感受,其中it是形式主語,that引導(dǎo)的從句才是真正的主語,通常放在句尾。適用于此句型的形容詞有:necessary, clear, true, strange, certain, likely, meaningful, important, possible, lucky等。如:
It is necessary that we help those disabled people.
我們幫助那些殘疾人是必須的。
Its very clear that they badly need help.
很明顯,他們非常需要幫助。
It is very meaningful that they donate some money to Project Hope.
他們?yōu)橄Mこ叹杩钍欠浅S幸饬x的。
二、It is + adj. + to do sth.
此句型常用來描述行為動(dòng)作和情境。如:
It is difficult to finish the work today.
今天完成這項(xiàng)工作很困難。
It is not easy to learn a foreign language well.
學(xué)好一門外語不容易。
It is interesting to play with snow in winter.
冬季玩雪很有趣。
【相關(guān)連接】
1. 在此句型中,動(dòng)詞不定式to do sth.也可直接放在句首作主語,但在現(xiàn)代英語中,這樣用的不多。如:
To give is much better than to receive. = It is better to give than to receive.
給予遠(yuǎn)勝于接受(予勝于求)。
2. 此句型中的形容詞可換為名詞,be也可換為其他連系動(dòng)詞,如feel等。如:
Its a good habit to get up early and go to bed early.
早睡早起是好習(xí)慣。
It must be great fun to fly to the moon in a spaceship.
乘宇宙飛船飛往月球一定很有趣。
It feels strange to have a twin sister.
有個(gè)孿生姐妹,感覺很奇怪。
三、It is + adj. + for sb. + to do sth.
此句型中,動(dòng)詞不定式的邏輯主語是for后面的人或物,表示“干某事對(duì)某人/某物來說怎么樣”。適用于此句型的形容詞有:easy, difficult, hard, important, necessary, quick, dangerous等。這些形容詞常常與事物的特征有關(guān),用來修飾動(dòng)詞不定式。如:
It is quite difficult for them to find out who broke the window.
對(duì)他們來說,找出誰打破窗戶是很困難的。
Its important for us to keep the water clean.
對(duì)我們來說,保持水質(zhì)清潔很重要。
Its dangerous for children to cross the busy street.
對(duì)孩子們來說,穿過車水馬龍的街道是很危險(xiǎn)的。
【注意】
此句型有時(shí)也可與“It is + adj. + that + 從句”句型互換使用。如:
Its possible for us to win the match. = Its possible that we will win the match.
對(duì)我們來說,贏得這場(chǎng)比賽是很有可能的。
四、It is + adj. + of sb. + to do sth.
此句型常用來表示人的內(nèi)在品質(zhì)。適用于此句型的形容詞有:kind, nice, clever, polite, careless, generous, good, thoughtful, silly等。如:
It is very kind of you to help me with my English.
你能幫助我學(xué)英語真是太好了。
It was silly of us to believe him.
我們真是太愚蠢了,竟然相信他。
It is generous of David to lend me his bike.
