(1)It’s+adj.+for (of)sb. to do sth.
当不定式作主语时,通常用it作为形式主语,而把真正的主语不定式结构后置。例如: To meet you is a great pleasure. =It is a great pleasure to meet you. 非常高兴见到你。
To plant trees every year is necessary.= It is necessary to plant trees every year. 每年植树是必要的。
这种结构往往还要有一个逻辑主语。一般使用下面的结构: 1)It is +adj. +of sb.+to do sth.
It is selfish of you to eat the whole birthday cake. 你真是太自私了,吃光了整个蛋糕。 2)It is +adj. + for sb. + to do sth.
It is difficult for me to learn English well. 对我来说学好英语太难了。 【注意】
for和of引导的不定式结构的区别
表语形容词的语义不同是区别 for 结构和 of 结构的最重要标志。
1) 在“It is(was)+adj.+for sb.+to do sth.”的句式中,作表语的形容词大多是表事物性质的静态形容词,如:essential,easy,difficult, important,necessary,possible,hard等等,

这类形容词与for后面的名词(代词)关系不密切,无意义上的主表关系。例如: It is necessary for us to practise speaking English every day. 每天练习说英语对我们来说是很有必要的。
2)在 “It is(was)+adj.+of sb.…”的句式中,作表语的形容词大多是表示人物特征的形容词。如:brave,careless,careful,clever,cruel,foolish,good,honest,(un)kind noble,polite,right,rude,sweet,silly,stupid,wrong等等。这些表示人物特征的形容词与of后的名词关系十分密切,有意义上的主表关系。例如:
It is kind of you(=You are kind)to send me a nice present. 谢谢你送我这么好的礼物。
It was stupid of her(=She was stupid)to make such a mistake. 出这样的错她真是太蠢了。
(2)主语+动词+too+形容词/副词+(for+sb.)+to+动词原形
表示“……太……而不能……”。例如: He walked too slowly to catch up with me. 他走得太慢而不能跟上我。
It is too dark in this room for me to read a book. 房间太暗,使我无法看书。
This problem is too difficult for them to settle. 这对他们来说真是一个难解的问题。
(3)主语+动词+……形容词/副词+enough+(for sb.)+to+动词原形 表示“……对某人足以……”。例如:
We need several men strong enough to do the work. 我们需要几个强壮得足以做这件工作的人。
They bought a house large enough for ten persons to live in. 我们买了一栋房子,大得足以供十个人住。
He is competent enough to fill that position. 他足以胜任那职位。
(4)主语+动词+enough+名词+to+动词原形
表示“……对某人足以……”。例如:
He has enough money (=money enough) to buy a car. 他有足够的钱买一辆汽车。
