这句话的语序不是常见的英文惯用语序。按照正常的英文思维的表达应该是It is problematical at best that…,即先表达态度，再展开叙事。而这句英文却符合汉语的思维方式，即先叙事后表态。所以，这句话可以按照原文的顺序翻译成汉语。但更常见的是it作形式主语置于句首，而将that主语从句放在句末。因此下面都是常见的主语从句句型（作文中常用的句型）：

一、It+be动词+that 从句

It’s believed that…据信……

It should be noted that …应该注意……

It has been found that…现已发现……

同样可以这样用的动词还有：say,expect,know,estimate,forecast等。比如:
