it作形式主语
在英语中, 如果主语是较长的动词不定式或一个句子, 为了保持句子结构的平衡, 避免头重脚轻, 通常
用it作形式主语放在句首, 而把真正的主语放在句尾。常见的句型有：
1) It is + adj. (+ ____ + sb.) + to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容词有important, difficult, dangerous, necessary, useful, possible等, 用来对to do sth. 进行说明。如：
It’s difficult for us to finish the work in an hour. for2) It is + adj. + ____ + sb. + to do sth.
常用于此句型的形容词有good, kind, nice, clever, wise等, 用来对sb.的性格、品质等进行说明。
