To-infinitives as subjects and predicatives
——不定式作主语和表语
很多情况下,作主语的动词不定式都可以用动名词替代,但表示某些具体情况,或表示较强烈的对比,或在某些固定说法中时,通常不用动名词替代。
To err is human. 金无足赤,人无完人。/人非圣贤,孰能无过。
To know everything is to know nothing. 样样皆通,样样稀松
1. 动词不定式作主语时,一般表示具体的或一次性的动作。作主语的不定式有时态和语态的变化,且谓语动词通常用单数。
To finish this job in one day is impossible.
要在一天之内完成这项工作是不可能的。(表示具体的情况)
2. 若不定式太长,则往往用 it 代替不定式作形式主语,不定式移至谓语之后,以使句子结构平衡。
常见句型有以下4种:
(1) It +be+形容词+(for/of sb.) to do sth.
(2) It+be+名词+ to do sth.
(3) It takes (sb.) some time to do sth.
(4) It made sb. + adj. + to do sth.
It is very interesting to play in the snow in winter. 冬天在雪地里玩是很有趣的。
It is a great honour to hear you speak so highly of me. 听到你这么夸奖是我莫大的荣幸。
It takes ten years to grow trees, but a hundred years to rear people. 十年树木,百年树人。
It made me relaxed to know that I have passed the exam. 了解到我通过了考试,我感到很轻松。
不定式作主语
不定式作表语
1.动词不定式作表语,可以说明主语的具体内容,还可以表示目的、结果、安排、命令、决定、劝告、意愿等,其主语通常为task,aim,purpose,wish,dream,duty,plan,hope,job,problem等名词,或是what引导的名词性从句。不定式作表语时,主语和表语有时可以交换位置,其意思不变。
I've had many dreams since I was a kid. Now my dream is to open a cafe.
我从小就有很多梦想。现在我的梦想是开一家咖啡馆。
The important thing in life is to have a great aim, and the determination to attain it.
人生重要的事是有一个伟大的目标,以及实现它的决心。
What I would suggest is to start work at once.
我建议马上开始工作。
不定式作表语
2. 动词不定式作表语省略to的情况
动词不定式作表语时,一般情况下不定式符号to不能省略,但当主语部分含有从句且从句谓语部分有实义动词do的某种形式时,作表语的不定式符号to可以省略。
All we need to do is (to) live each day with passion.
我们需要做的就是充满激情地过好每一天。
Don't worry. What you need to do is (to) have a good sleep.
别担心,你需要做的就是好好睡一觉。
(1) 当主语部分有实义动词 do或do的某种形式时,动词不定式做表语时可以省略 to。
All I could do now is (to) keep silent.
我现在所能做的就是保持沉默。
(2) 某些动词的不定式与 be 动词连用时常用主动形式表示被动意义,如be to let(出租),be to blame(应负责任)等。
The house is to let.
这所房子要出租,
Who is to blame for the accident
谁应该为这起事故负责
特别注意
(3) 动词不定式和动名词做表语都是用于表示主语“是什么”,但动词不定式做表语强调的是一次性的、具体的、将要发生的动作;动名词做表语强调的是一般性的、抽象的、经常发生的动作。
The man's job is to paint the walls.
这位男士的工作是粉刷这些墙。(表示一次性的、具体的、目前要做的事情)
The man's job is painting walls.
这位男士的工作是粉刷墙。(表示经常性的日常工作)
