1) It is ~ that … | 要點 | 真正的主詞是以that為首的名詞子句,置於句後,而把形式主詞it置於句首,這在英文中極為常用。 |
範例 | (a) It is certain that he will get well in a day or two. (b) It is a fact that there are many ups and downs in our lives. |
詞彙 | certain一定的;get will復元;in a day or two一兩天內;ups and downs榮枯,盛衰,沉浮。 | | 中譯 | (a) 他在一兩天內一定會復元。 (b) 我們的生活的確是屢沉屢浮。 | | 解說 | 這種用法並非只限於that-clause,whether, if等連接詞,以及what, who, how等疑問詞所引導的名詞子句也可以作為真主詞。另外,(a) = He is certain to get well in a day or two. | | 類例 | 1. It is said that he died of cancer. (據說他死於癌症。) 2. It is doubtful whether he’ll succeed or not. (他能否成功難以確定。) 3. It is not clear which is better. (哪個比較好並不清楚。) 〈注〉1. 若寫成單句,= He is said to have died of cancer.。請注意句中用的是完成式的不定詞。 | | 參考 | It matters little who does it so long as it is done. (只要有做,誰做的並不重要。) |
