英语中的形式宾语 在英语中,为了平衡句子结构或避免句子结构的混乱,常用it作形式宾语,而将真正的宾语后置。 一、当谓语动词为think, make, find, consider, feel, hear等,后接复合宾语[宾语+宾语补足语]时, 常用“主语+谓语动词(think等)+it+宾语补足语+不定式结构/V-ing分词/that从句”。如: We think it our duty to study and work hard for our great motherland. 我们认为为祖国努力学习和工作是我们的职责。 We thought it no good telling him about that. 我们认为告诉他那件事是没有益处的。 We found it useless trying to persuade him to go with us. 我们发现试图说服他和我们一起去是没用的。 We think it highly probable that he will come tomorrow. 我们认为他明天来是非常可能的。 注意:如果不是that从句,而是wh从句,则不用形式宾语。如: We consider what he said very important. 我们认为他所说的非常重要。 二、某些表示“喜怒哀乐”的动词如like, enjoy, love, dislike, hate, appreciate等,往往不直接接从句,特别是that引导的宾语从句。若接宾语从句,从句前须跟一个形式宾语it。如: I hate it when people speak with their mouths full of food. 我讨厌人们满口食物讲话。 由于that从句一般不能直作做介词的宾语, 所以介词后若接that引导的宾语从句,则须先接一个形式宾语it而后才接真正的宾语。如: Before we leave, we must see to it that everything is ready. 在离开前,我们必须确保一切都准备好。 You may depend on it that I shall help you. 你可以依靠我来帮你。 三、“动词+介词”所构成的固定词组如果跟宾语从句必须先跟it 形式宾语,it须置于动词和介词之间,此类词组常见的有:leave it to(由……决定/判断),owe it to somebody(归功于/多亏),take it for granted(想当然/认为……是真的),have/bear/keep it in mind(记住)。如: I will leave it to your own judgment whether you should do it. 我将由你判断是否应做那件事。 We owed it to you that there was not a serious accident. 我们多亏了你才没有出严重的事故。 We must have/bear/keep it in mind that nothing is too difficult if we put our heart into it. 我们必须记住:世上无难事,只怕有心人。 Once people took it for granted that the earth was flat. 以前人们想当然地认为地球是平的。 本文来源:https://www.wddqw.com/doc/71e8b91bfc4ffe473368ab82.html
