sb is easy / difficult to do sth吗 请看下面一题: “He is _________ to win the match.” “Really? But I don’t think so” A. easy B. difficult C. possible D. sure 【分析】此题应选D,其余三项均有可能误选,因为假若单纯从中文意思来看,其余三个答案均说得通。但问题是将A、B、C三项填入空格处均不合英语习惯。按英语习惯,easy 和difficult 后接不定式时,其主语(或逻辑主语)通常应是 it,而不能是具体的人或物,除非这个主语与其后不定式有动宾关系。如: 我做这工作很容易。 误:I’m very easy to do the work. 正:It is very easy for me to do the work. (用形式主语 it 作主语) 正:The work is very easy for me to do. (主语为具体的事物,但它与其后不定式有动宾关系,即 to do the work) 我们很难准时赶到那儿。 误:We are very difficult to get there in time. 正:It is very difficult for us to get there in time. (用形式主语 it 作主语) 比较:He is very difficult to work with. 他这个人很难相处。(用具体的人作主语,但它与其后不定式具有动宾关系,即 to work with him) 有时不是用 it 作形式主语,而是用其作形式宾语。如: We found it easy to do the work. 我们发现做这工作很容易。 但是不说:We found him easy to do work.(from www.nmet168.com) 至于,possible 后接不定式时,其主语只能是 it,不能是具体的人或事物,即使该主语与其后的不定式有动宾关系也不可以。如: 我们有可能会找到一些更便宜的。 误:We are possible to find some cheaper ones. 误:Some cheaper ones are possible for us to find. 正:It is possible for us to find some cheaper ones. 有时不是用 it 作形式主语,而是用其作形式宾语。如: We found it possible for him to do the work. 我们发现他可能做那工作。 但不说:We found him possible to do the work. |
