带有半助动词作为动词词组的组成部分的句子,有的可以转换为“ It…that-分句”结构,而有的却不可以。从这个角度看,半助动词可分为两类:一类是可以作上述转换的,其中包括be cer-tain to,be(un)likely to,appear to,happen to,seem to等。例如:
They are certain to win the game.他们肯定会在比赛中获胜。
→It is certain that they will win the game.
He is likely to let you down.他可能使你失望。
→It is likely that he will let you down.
He appears to have many friends.看来他有许多朋友。
→It appears that he has many friends.
He seems to be enjoying himself.看来他玩得很快活。
→It seems that he is enjoying himself.
I happen to have had some nasty experiences in dealing with him.
我恰巧有过一些和他打交道的不愉快的经历。
→It happens that I have had some nasty experiences in deal-ing with him.
Some members of the committee seem to have been bribed.
委员会的一些成员看来是受了贿赂。
→It seems that some members of the committee have been bribed.
另一类半助动词不可以作上述转换,这一类包括be about to,be bound to,be going to,be to,had better,have to,have got to,tend to 等。例如:
He is adout to arrive.他即将到达。
He is bound to win!他一定会获胜!
The boy tended to be late.这孩子老是迟到。
不可以转换为:
*It is about that he will arrive.
*It bound that he will win.
*It tended that the boy was late.
半助动词也可用于there-存在句。例如:
There's going to be a storm.就要有暴风雨了。
There's to be an investigation.要作一次调查。
There has to be a mistake.一定有错。
There's sure to be some rain tonight.今晚一定有雨。
There's likely to be a large audience.观众人数可能很多。
There's certain to be trouble at the factory.厂里一定有麻烦。
There seems to be a widespread change of attitude
看来态度有普遍的改变。
There appears to be no doubt about it.
看来这是毫无疑问的了。
