代词IT的用法

代词IT的用法

一．IT的用法

用法例证

1. 用作代词，为人称代词；第三人称单数，主格与宾格 There is a map on the wall. It is a map of China. 墙上有张地图，它是一张中国地图。(It指代上文提到的a map，在句中作主语)

Our monitor suggested that we go outing on Sunday. No one was against it. 班长建议我们星期天去郊游，没人反对。 (it指代上句这件事，作介词的宾语)

2．作无人称代词，除了句中找不到它所代表的词语外，另一个特点是它后面的内容都是表天气，时间，度量及情况等。"What time is it?" "It's twelve o'clock." “现在几点了?”“十二点钟。”(指代时间)

It was quiet at that moment. 当时非常安静。(指代情况)

3．作先行代词。It作先行代词时，本身没有具体意义，而只是帮助把真正的主语或宾语移到句子的后面去，it的作用是代替它后面起主语或宾语作用的不定式，动名词或从句。 It is very important for us to study English. 学英语对我们来说非常重要。(it指代后面的动词不定式。)

It's doubtful whether he will be able to come. 他能否来还很难说。(it代替后面的whether从句)

It's no use crying over the spilt milk. 牛奶倾覆，哭之无益。(覆水难收)(it指代后面的动名词。)

I owe it to you that I can achieve so much. 我能取得这些成绩都归功于你。(it 指代后面的that从句)

4．用于强调句型中，it是引词，本身无词义。lt is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其它成分这一句型可强调主语，宾语或状语。 It was about 600 years ago that the first

clock with a face and an hour hand was made. 大约是在600年前，造了第一只有钟面与时针的钟。

5．用于一些固定词组中，接在某些由名词变来的动词后，无实际意义。口语中用作某些动词或介词的含糊宾语，无意义。 Put it on. 夸大其词，吹牛。

Watch it. 注意。

Go it while you are young. 趁你年轻努力干吧。

I had a good time of it. 我玩得很高兴。

Depend upon it, she will soon recover. 不错(毫无疑问)，她很快会复原。

As ill luck will have it. 偏偏不巧。

You'll catch it! 你可小心点儿!(警告用语)

You are in for it. 这下你可得干到底了(或这下你可要倒霉了。)

6. 用作代词。意为“的确是

那东西，更重要的(必要的)东西，理想，极致，最顶尖的人”，俚语中指“重要人物，讨厌，自负的人”。 That's it. 就这样了。/真是这样。

In a lilac sun bonnet she was it. 她戴着一顶紫色遮阳帽，瀑亮极了。

For barefaced lying you are really it. 以无耻造谣而论，你真算得上天下第一。Stop acting as though you were it. 不要夜郎自大。

汤姆的母亲不断地告诉他要好好努力，但这根本没用。(it指代

前面要他努力这样)
