It’s+adj+for / of+sb+to do sth
• ■ It’s+adj.+for sb+to do sth意思是“对某人而言做……事是……的”。例如：
• It’s difficult for Debbie to choose the right hairstyle.
对黛比而言选择一个合适的发型挺困难的。• 在这个句子中， it是形式主语，代替后面真正的主语，即不定式短语 to choose the right hairstyle，因此，这个句子也可变为：
• To choose the right hairstyle is difficult for Debbie.
该句型里的形容词是说明后面不定式短语
的，里面的 sb跟该形容词没有直接联系，
for sb表示“对某人来说”。常用于此
句型的形容词还有 important,
difficult,
dangerous, necessary, useful,
possible等。
• ■ It’s+adj.+of sb+to do sth意思是“某人做某事是……的”。例如：
• It is foolish of me to leave my purse at home.
• 我把钱包留在家里真是太愚蠢了。• 在这个句子中形容词跟 sb有关，是用来修饰 sb的。其中的“ adj.+of+sb”实际上是“ sb+be+adj.”之意，常用于此句型的形容词有 good, kind, nice, clever,
wise, foolish等。
