語法精講The Use of “It” (1) as Subject“It”的用法(1)作主語
1.it用作人稱代詞,指前面提到過的人或物。
The frog is not a warmblooded animal.It is a coldblooded one.
青蛙不是溫血動物,而是冷血動物。(指代the frog)
—Who is knocking at the door?
誰在敲門?
—It is me.
是我。(指代人)
—What is this?
那是什么?
—It is a flag.It is hers.
是一面旗,那是她的。(指代this或that)
2.it也可用作非人稱代詞,表示天氣、日期、時間、溫度、距離、環境情況等。
It was very noisy at the moment.
現在外面很吵。(指環境情況)
—What time is it?
幾點了?
—It is eight o’clock.
8點了(指時間)
It is five kilometers from the office to my home.
從辦公室到我家5千米。(指距離)
3.it常用作形式主語或形式賓語,而把真正的主語或賓語(不定式、動詞ing形式或名詞性從句)置于句尾,以滿足句子的需要。
it作形式主語,常用于下列結構:
1)It is+cruel(kind,brave,nice,rude,wise,stupid,clever;foolish,polite...)of sb. to do sth.
2)It is important(necessary,possible,impossible,easy,difficult,hard...)for sb. to do sth.如:
It is foolish of you to waste money.(=You are foolish to waste money.)
你浪費錢是愚蠢的。
It is necessary for us to study hard.(=To study hard is necessary for us.)
對我們來講努力學習是必要的。
在這兩個結構中,使用介詞for還是介詞of由前面的形容詞而定;若形容詞修飾人,使用介詞of;若形容詞修飾事,則使用介詞for。
3)It is no use(useless,no good)doing sth.
It is no use talking with him.
跟他談話是沒有用的。
此結構中真正的主語通常為動名詞。
4)It is said(known,reported,thought,hoped,believed,announced...)that...
It is said that he comes from America.
據說他來自美國。
此結構中真正的主語是名詞性從句,且能變為簡單句,上句可變為:He is said to come from America.即:從句的主語用作主語,謂語動詞仍是主句的謂語動詞,但應存在人稱和數的變化,從句的謂語動詞用不定式表示。如:
It was known that he had gone abroad.
=He was known to have gone abroad.
眾所周知他出國了。
