重点中学英语语法讲义-it用法

2017-09-19来源:和谐英语

 

 

(1) 由于介词后通常不能直接跟that从句作宾语,有个别特殊结构就在介词后先接it作形式宾语,再跟that从句:

You may depend on it that he will turn up in time. 你可以相信他会及时赶到的。

I can’t answer for it that the boy is honest. 我不能保证这个男孩是诚实的。

I’ll see to it that all these letters will be sent to the post before twelve. 我将注意让所有的信件在12点以前送到邮局。

【注】① 在其他情况下解决介词后跟that从句的办法是借用the fact作宾语:

They were worried over the fact that you were sick. 他们为你生病发愁。

② 个别介词(主要是but和except)也可接that从句作宾语:

I know nothing about him except that he lives next door. 我只知道他住在隔壁,其他的就不知道了。

(2) 有的动词由于通常只用作及物动词,当它们后接if从句或when从句,通常应先在动词后接it作形式宾语:

She won’t like it if you arrive late. 她不喜欢你迟到。

He hates it when people use his bike. 他讨厌别人用他的自行车。

I hate it if you say such things in public. 我讨厌你在大庭广众之下说那样的事。

I’d prefer it if I didn’t have to do so much work. 要是我不必做那么多工作,那就太好了。

I would appreciate it very much if you would help me with it. 如果你能帮助我做这事,我会十分感激。

【注】能这样用的动词不多,主要的有enjoy, like, dislike, love, hate, prefer, appreciate等表示情绪的动词。而且高考对此也有所考查,请看一道高考真题(答案选A):

I hate ______ when people talk with their mouths full.

A. it                          B. that                      C. these                    D. them

(3) 用于 have it that(说,认为),take it that(认为)等个别固定表达中:

I take it (that) you agree. 我以为你同意了(www.hxen.net)。

Report has it that about 30 people were killed in the accident. 据报道,在这次事故中大约有30人丧命。

六、用于强调句型

1. 基本句型结构

it用于强调句的基本句型结构是:It+be+被强调部分+that(who)+其他部分。请看用例:

It was in the Japan that he died. 他是死于日本。

It was yesterday that he got married. 他是昨天结婚的。

It was a computer that he bought last week. 他上个星期买的是一台电脑。

2. 使用强调句型应注意的几点

(1) 强调主语时,that后谓语动词的数应与被强调的主语保持一致:

It is I who am right. 是我对。

It was you that were wrong. 是你错了。

(2) 不要想当然地用he, she, that等代替强调句中的it:

_____ was in this room that he was killed.

A. It                         B. That                     C. He                        D. Who

此题答案应选A。该句还原成非强调句为He was killed in this room.

【注】有关强调句型的其他用法说明,参见本讲义“强调句型”。
