  这个房间里特别热/冷/安静/吵闹。

  涨潮了/落潮了。

  注意下列句子:

  Its/It is three years since I saw him.

  相当于:I havent seen him for three years.

  我已经有三年没见到他了。

  D先行主语it

  1 it可以引导下列类型的句子(分裂句):

  It was Peter who lent us the money.

  是彼得借了钱给我们。(不是保罗)

  Its today that hes going.

  他是今天走。(不是明天)

  这种it甚至可以与复数名词连用:

  Its pilots that we need,not ground staff.

  我们需要的是飞行员,不是地勤人员。

  2如不定式是句子主语,通常把it置于句首而把不定式放在后面:

  It is easy to criticize.

  批评是容易的。

  而不说:

  To criticize is easy.

  又如:

  It is better to be early.

  宁早勿晚。

  而不说:

  To be early is better.

  It seems a pity to give up now.

  现在放弃好像很遗憾。

  而不说:

  To give up now seems a pity.

  如果将it+be置于find/think(that)之后,通常be和that可省略:

  He thought(that)it(would be)better to say nothing.

  他认为不说话为妙。

  We found it impossible to get visas.

  我们发现不可能拿到签证。

  3在句子的主语是从句的情况下可以用it。以下的用法是可以的:

  That he hasnt phoned is odd.

  令人感到奇怪的是他没打电话。

  That prices will go up is certain.

  价格肯定要上涨。

  但是我们通常这样说:

  Its odd that he hasnt phoned.

  Its certain that prices will go up.

  其他用法:

  It never occurred to me that perhaps he was lying.

  我从没想到过他可能是在说谎。

  lt struck me that everyone was unusually silent.

  大家都异乎寻常地沉默使我感到吃惊。

  Eit/this可代表句中前面提到过的短语、从句或动词:

  He smokes in bed,though I dont like it.(it=his smoking in bed)

  他躺在床上抽烟,尽管我不喜欢他这样。

  He suggested flying,but I thought it would cost too much.(it=flying)

  他建议坐飞机去,可我认为这样花费太大。

  F it还可以充当非人称动词的主语:

  it seems似乎,看起来好像

  it appears似乎,看来

  it looks显得,好像

  it happens碰巧,偶然
