    “It”的用法

    1)指事物,人(不明性别或何人时),婴孩、动物(不提性别)或昆虫等。
    例:"Where is my watch, dear?"
    (我的手表在哪儿,亲爱的?)
    "I saw it in your drawer last night."
    (昨晚我看到它在你的抽屉里。)
    例:"Who is it?"
    (是谁?──如敲门时,不明对方的性别或何人。)
    "It's me, Peter."
    (是我,彼得。)
    例:Mrs. Huang had a baby last night.It weighs 4 kilos.
    (黄太太昨夜生了一个婴儿,体重达四公斤。)
    例:What's that?
    (那是什么?)
    It's a silkworm.
    (是蚕。)

    (2)表达时间、日期、季节、天气、距离、环境等。
    例:"What time is it?"-"It's five to twelve."
    (几点钟了?──现在是十一点五十五分。)
    例:"What's the date?"-"It is the third of October."
    (今天几录溉眨咯ぉそ裉焓鞘氯铡#?br> 例:It is very hot in summer.
    (夏天的天气都是很热。)
    例:How far is it from here to the station?
    (这里到车站有多远?)
    例:I like it here very much.
    (我很喜欢这里的环境。)

    (3)表达强调
    句型It +be…+that(who)…
    例:It was Paul that (who) broke the window.
    (=Paul broke the window.)
    (打破了窗的人是保罗。)
    解说 "It… that…"是表达强调的正常句式,但是若强调点是"人",则使用"It…who…"也很普通。本句式可用于一个句子中的任何强调点,例如:
    例:Peter met Helen and Bill at the theater yesterday.
    →It was Peter who met Helen and Bill at the theater yesterday.
    (昨天在戏院看到海伦和比尔的人是彼得。)
    →It was Helen and Bill that Peter met at the theater yesterday.
    (昨天彼得在戏院所遇见的人是海伦和比尔。)
    →It was at the theater that Peter met Helen and Bill yesterday.
    (昨天彼得遇见海伦和比尔的地点是戏院。)
    →It was yesterday that Peter met Helen and Bill at the theater.
    (彼得在戏院遇见海伦和比尔的时间是昨天。)

    (4)形式主语

    例:It is shameful the way he behaves himself before girls.
    (他在女生面前的举止真叫人脸红。)
    例:It is easy to find fault with others.
    (批评别人是容易的。)
    例:It is wrong for you to speak ill of her.
    (你讲她的坏话是不对的。)
    例:It is a great convenience living / to live in a big city.
    (住在大城市里事事都方便。)
    例:It is surprising that she should have married a farmer.
    (她居然和农民结婚实在令人意想不到。)
    解说 上面各例句都可以把"It"所代表的实际主语移到句首来,例如:
    The way he behaves himself before girls is shameful.
    To find fault with others is easy.
    虽然如此,现代英语仍以"I…"较普通。

    (5)形式宾语

    例:I consider it wrong to cheat in an examination.
    (我认为考试作弊是不对的。)
    例:Don't you find it a waste of time watching television too much?
    (你不觉得电视看得太多是浪费时间吗?)
    例:I thought it strange that Jack should have had so much money to spend these days.
    (我觉得杰克近日来会有这么多的钱可花费是一件奇怪的事。)
    解说 本句式都用于有宾语补语的不完全及物动词的句子,"it"代表着宾语补语之后的实际宾语(不定式、动名词、或that-clause)。本句式的实际宾语不可以移入"it"的位置而把"it"省略。常可用本句式来表达的不完全及物动词有:
    find(发现,觉得),think(想,觉得),believe(相信),consider(认为),make,take,etc.

    (6)"it"可以代表前述的短语或句子
    例:Don't let your children play with matches or lighters.It is dangerous.
    (不要让你的小孩们玩火柴或打火机。那是危险的。)
    例:"Jim can solve that puzzle."
    (吉姆能解答那个谜题。)
    "I don't believe it."
    (我不相信。)

    (7)"it"常作非人称动词的主语

    例:It happened that I was there then.
    (碰巧当时我也在场。)
    例:It appears that he'll be elected.
    (他像是会当选的样子。)
    例:It occurred to me then that I had an appointment with her that evening.
    (当时我突然想起来我本来和她在当天晚上有约会。)
