it is time后面跟不定式:
Its time to start.
是动身的时候了。
或者与for+ 宾语+ 不定式连用:
It is time for us to go.
我们该走了。
或者与主语+ 虚拟过去时或过去进行时连用:
It is time we went.
我们该动身了。
It is time we were leaving.
(译文同上。)
这些形式之间在含义上稍有区别。
it is time+ 不定式仅表示做某一件事的适当的时间到了。
it is time+ 主语+ 虚拟过去时意味着已经稍迟于预定时间。可以在句中加上high以强调这一含义:
Its high time we left.
我们早该动身了。
it is time+ I/he/she/it后面不能接were,而要接was:
Its time I was going.
我该走了。
