“It is 形容词 of sb. (not) to do” 与“It is 形容词 for sb. (not) to do”的使用
“It is + 形容词 + of sb. + (not) to do” 与“It is + 形容词 + for sb. + (not) to do”的使用
解读:要分清何时用of ,何时用for,主要应从以下两点来区别:
(1) 两者使用的形容词不同。“It is + 形容词 + of sb. + (not) to do”用
的形容词是
示人的性格品质之类的形容词,常用的有:good, kind, nice, wrong, silly, clever, careless, selfish, generous等。“It is + 形容词+
for sb. + (not) to do”里的形容词仅仅是描述事物,不是对不定式行为
者的品格进行评价,常用的有:hard, important, interesting, necessary,
difficult, exciting, easy, comfortable, true, sad, certain, pleasant 等。如:
It is very nice of you to help me so much. 你帮我这么多真是太好了。
It’s dangerous for children to swim in the river. 对孩子们来说在河里游泳是危险的。
(2) “It is + 形容词 + of sb. + (not) to do”这个句型可以转变成一个带
不定式作状语的句子,而“It is + 形容词 + for sb. + (not) to do”这个句
型不可以转变。如:
It’s careless of Lucy to make so many mistakes in her homework.
=Lucy is careless enough to make so many mistakes in her homework.
Lucy真粗心,在作业中犯如此多的错误。
