关于be fortunate to do sth结构的说明

■若其中的动词be为现在式(am, is, are),则其后不定式通常只能是静态动词,不能是动态动词。如:

They are fortunate to be able to buy such a large a house. 他们真幸运,能买那样大的房子。

但不能说:They are fortunate to buy such a large house.

■若要在am [is, are] fortunate后接动态动词,则要用完成式或进行式。如:

They are fortunate to have bought such a large house. 他们很幸运,买了那样大的房子。

You are fortunate to be working in London. 你真是幸运,能在伦敦工作。

■若其中的动词be为过去式(was, were),则其后不定式便没有以上限制。如:

He was extremely fortunate to escape without injury. 他能安然无恙地逃脱,真是太幸运了。

He was fortunate to have had the chance of doing so. 他很幸运有机会这样做。

■be fortunate后接不定式与接从句意思稍有不同:It is fortunate that…的意思是“……是件好事”,而“主语+be+fortunate to do sth”则强调主语的好运气。如:

It’s fortunate for us that he has a rich uncle 他有一位有钱的叔叔是我们的运气。(如可以替我们借钱)

He’s fortunate to have a rich uncle. 他真幸运有一位有钱的叔叔。(许多人没有)
