二、主语从句与形式主语it有时为了考虑句子平衡，通常在主语从句处使用形式主语it，而将真正的主语从句移至句末这分三种情况：(1) 对于以连词that引导的主语从句，通常用形式主语代主语从句：It’s a pity that he didn’t come. 很遗憾他没来It is important that he should know about this. 他必须知道此事It’s vital that we be present. 我们出席是至关重要的It was intended that you be the candidate. 大家的意图是让你当候选人It is important that this mission not fail. 这项使命不失败至关重要It is essential that a meeting be convened this week. 本周开一次会非常重要It is appropriate that this tax be abolished. 废除这个税是恰当的It’s unfair that so many people should lose their jobs. 竟有这么多人失业这是不公平的。
