“It is/was said/reported/hoped...that...”這個句型是用來表達“據說……”,在英語中是如何運用的呢?以下是在優朗英語教授全日制培訓課程的藍老師為大家總結的句型解析,希望對需要學習英語的你有多幫助。
句型解析:
1.it在句子中充當形式主語的被動語態句型
It is/was said/reported/hoped... + that是個典型的被動語態句型,其目的可以是為了使語言得體、圓滑等。句首的It在句子中充當形式主語,that引導的從句充當真正主語。
2.主句動詞是現在或未來時態且從句動詞不受影響的句型
在這個句型中,主句的動詞是現在或未來時態時,從句的動詞時態并不受影響。根據主句的動詞的不同,可以形成下列句型,如:It is said that...(據說……),It is reported that...(據報道……), It is rumored that...(據傳言……),It is believed that...(大家相信……),It is hoped that...(大家希望……),It is suggested that...(據建議……)。
例句:
It is reported that this plan can prevent cancer.
根據報道,這種植物可以防治癌癥。
3.可以相互轉化的其他句型
這些句型也可轉化為:People said/reported/hoped/suggested... + that從句。
情景會話:
It is said that she is going to be married to a foreigner.
