dangerous等。
It is illegal (for a teenager) to drive a car without a license.
青少年没有驾照开车是违法的。
(2)It be+adj.+of sb.to do sth.
此处的形容词通常为描述人的形容词:kind,unkind,nice,rude,cruel,considerate,thoughtful,thoughtless,careful,careless,silly,foolish,stupid,clever,wise,crazy等。
It's kind of you to help me with the problem.
帮我解决问题,你真是太好了。
2.it作形式主语替代主语从句
(1)It is+adj.+从句
It is clear (obvious/true/possible/certain/...) that...
该句型中it 是形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的主语从句,常译为"清楚(显然,真的......)"。例如:
It is very clear that he's round and tall like a tree.
很明显他又胖又高像一棵树。
(2)It is+v.ed+that...=Sb./Sth.is+v.ed+to do
It is said (reported/learned/believed/thought/known/told/hoped/...) that...
该句型中的it 仍是形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的主语从句;该结构常译为"据说(据报道,据悉......)"。
It is said that he has come to Beijing.
据说他已经来北京了。
It is reported that another earth satellite has been put into orbit.
据报道另一个地球卫星已发射进轨道。
(3)It is+n.+that...
It is a pity (a shame/an honor/a good thing/a fact/a surprise/...) that...
该句型中,如果表示出乎意料等感情,that后的从句一般用虚拟语气,即谓语动词用"should+动词原形",should可省去,常译为"竟然"。没有这种意义时,则不用虚拟语气。例如:
It is a pity that such a thing (should) happen in your class.
这种事竟然发生在你们班上,真是遗憾!
It is a pity that he is ill.他生病了,真遗憾!
四、it作形式宾语
当复合宾语中的宾语是不定式、动名词或宾语从句时,往往把宾语放在它的补足语后面,而用it 作形式宾语,放在宾语补足语之前。常用的动词有think,believe,make,find,consider,feel等。
I think it no use arguing with him.
