“下雨”和“下雪”可有weather作主语吗

有这样两道题:

1. __________ is cold here.

2. __________ is going to rain.

A. It,That                            B. Ther weather,Ther weather               

C. That,That                        D. The weather,It

此题应选D。容易误选B。按照英语的表达习惯:表示“下雨”、“下雪”等自然现象时,一般用 it 作主语,而不能用 the weather。如:

要下雨了。

正:It’s going to rain.

误:The weather is going to rain.

昨夜下了雪。

正:It snowed last night.

误:The weather snowed last night.

但是若表示天气的冷暖等,句子主语用 it,the weather均可:

天气热起来了。

正:It is getting very hot.

正:The weather is getting very hot.

北京冬天很冷。

正:It is cold in Beijing in winter.

正:The weather of Beijing is cold in winter.

类似地,表示“吹风”时,其主语可以是it或the wind,但是不能以the wind作blow的宾语:

今晚吹着大风。

正:The wind [It] is blowing hard tonight.

误:It is blowing wind hard tonight.
