[關(guān)鍵詞] 英語 it 應(yīng)用
it在英語中是一個(gè)很重要的詞,掌握好它的用法,對(duì)于今后的學(xué)習(xí)很重要,下面,我就對(duì)it的用法進(jìn)行如下一些總結(jié):
1.it是代詞。指除人以外的一切生物和事物,用來指代時(shí)間、季節(jié)、天氣、距離、環(huán)境。在這里,it是一個(gè)虛詞,沒有任何實(shí)際意義。例如:
What’s the date today?今天幾號(hào)?
It’s July 1.七月一號(hào)
How far is it from the bus station to your home?
2.it用作主語,用來指代文中出現(xiàn)過的人或事,此時(shí)用來代替一個(gè)名詞,一個(gè)短語,一個(gè)從句或一個(gè)句子。在句中可指生物,無生物,不明性別的嬰兒,也可以指一個(gè)動(dòng)作或一件事物,還可以指明人或事物的身份。在這里是有實(shí)意的。例如:
What’s this?這是什么?
It’s a computer.這是一臺(tái)計(jì)算機(jī)。
He tried to get rid of smoking,but it was impossible.他嘗試著戒煙,但那是不可能的。
3.it用作形式上的主語,為了避免將句中作真正主語的不定式,動(dòng)名詞和名詞子句置于句首造成頭重腳輕,習(xí)慣上可用作形式主語置于句首,指代后面的真正主語,使句子顯得流暢。作形式主語句型有:
it +謂語+不定式
it +謂語+動(dòng)名詞
it +謂語+名詞從句
(1)不定式具有名詞性質(zhì),可用作主語。例如:
Tocompromise is sensible.=It is sensible to compromise.互相妥協(xié)是明智的。
此句譯成漢語時(shí),沒有實(shí)際意義,要把后置的不定式作為主語來翻譯。例如:
It is necessary to have a good sleep before the test.=To have a good sleep before the is necessary.考試前好好睡一覺是很必要的。
It is wrong to do so.=To do so is wrong.這樣做是錯(cuò)誤的。
(2)與不定式不同,動(dòng)名詞作主語時(shí),一般置于句子開端,置于句尾時(shí)常將動(dòng)名詞改成不定式。因此,用代替動(dòng)名詞作形式主語的句子較少,主要用在以no use,useless,not any use,not much use,not any good,not much good,no help,dangerous等詞作主語補(bǔ)足語的句子中。例如:
It is useless(no use)talking to the old man about it.和一位老人談?wù)撨@些是沒有用的。
It is dangerous playing with fire.玩火是危險(xiǎn)的。
4.it可以替由that連接代詞或連接副詞引導(dǎo)名詞性從句。例如:
It is a pity that her sister cannot go skating with us.=That her sister cannot go skating with us is a pity.他的姐姐不能和我們?nèi)チ锉@真令人遺憾。
5.it is強(qiáng)調(diào)句型
句子結(jié)構(gòu)一般it +be +被強(qiáng)調(diào)的部分+字句。在句中沒有實(shí)際意義。
(1)強(qiáng)調(diào)主語。例如:
It was his brother who (that) broke the cup.
(2)強(qiáng)調(diào)賓語
(A)強(qiáng)調(diào)直接賓語。例如:

(B)強(qiáng)調(diào)間接賓語。例如:
It was his classmate that (whom) he sent a New Year card to.他將新年卡片寄給他的同學(xué)。
(C)強(qiáng)調(diào)狀語。
(a)強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)間狀語。例如:

(b)強(qiáng)調(diào)地點(diǎn)狀語。例如:

(E)強(qiáng)調(diào)主語補(bǔ)足語。例如:

另外,要熟記以下的一些搭配:
