Itisthat结构归纳总结.docVIP

“It is…that…”结构归纳总结 　　现行高级中学英语教材中，我们常会遇到“It is…that …”这一结构。如何理解这一句子结构，正确翻译句子，提高阅读能力是至关重要的。现就以下几种情况作一浅析： 　　一、“It is/was+形容词+that…”结构 　　在该结构中，it是引导词，作形式主语，从属连词that引导的是主语从句，在句中作真正的主语。例如： 　　1. It was right that the temple was rescued. 拯救这座寺庙是做得对的。 　　2. It was obvious that the matter had never been paid attention to.显然这件事一直没有被注意。 　　3. It is strange that she should have failed to see her own shortcomings. 　　真奇怪，她竟然没有看出自己的缺点。 　　在用法上，该结构与“It is+形容词+不定式复合结构”（即“It is+adj. +of sb.to do sth.”“It is+adj.+for sb.to do sth.”或“It is+adj.+for sth.to be done”）是一样的。有时主语从句也可与不定式复合结构互换使用。例如： 　　4. Its quite likely that a decision will be made before the end of the year.（It is quite likely for a decision to be made before the end of the year.）年底以前作出决定是完全可能的。 　　二、“It is+名词+that…”结构 　　5. It is no wonder that she is so ill.她病得这样厉害是不足为怪的。 　　6. It is a pity that you live at such a distance. 很遗憾，你住得那么远。 　　三、“It is+过去分词+that…”结构 　　7 .It was said that he found in music the peace which was missing in a world full of wars and killings.据说他从音乐里找到了在充满战争和屠杀的世界里所失去的和平 。 　　8. It is decided that I will meet them at the airport.决定让我去机场接他们。 　　9. It is arranged that the class meeting will be held next week.根据安排班会于下 周召开。 　　10.

It is John who/that might have bought a new book yesterd
