当长宾语后跟有宾补时,通常用形式宾语it,而将真正的宾语从句移至句末,看例子:

She found it difficult to answer the question.

她发现回答这个问题很困难。

这句话的原序是这样的:She found [to answer thequestion] difficult. 这里to answer the question 是一个长宾语(不定式做宾语),后面的difficult 是宾补。

因为宾语很长,宾补很短,为了避免“头重脚轻”,用形式宾语 it 替代宾语,把真实长宾语放在宾补的后面,故写成:She found it difficult to answer the question.

再看几个例子:

He feels it his duty to help others.

他认为帮助别人是他的责任。

原序:He feels [to help others] his duty.

He made it a rule to exercise for half an hour after dinner.

他规定自己饭后锻炼半小时。

原序:He made [to exercise for half an hour after dinner] a rule
