Unit 2 不定词
不定词(to+原形动词)，其身份不再是动词。它在句中扮演名词、形容词及副词这三种身份。
to V
1. 名词用法→当主语、宾语、补语
例：To buy things in a flea market must be fun. (在跳蚤市场买东西一定很好玩。)
2. 形容词用法→修饰名词
例：I have a lot of things to buy. (我有很多东西要买。)
3. 副词用法→表目的、原因等。
例：I went there to buy notebooks. (我去那里买笔记本。)
不定词的名词用法
① 不定词当主语
The work is fun.
To travel around the world is fun.
例：1. To answer this question is difficult for me. (对我而言回答这个问题是困难的。)
注意：不定词放句首当主词时，视为一件事，其后须接单数动词。
2. To solve pollution problems is difficult for people in Taiwan.
→ It is difficult for people in Taiwan to solve pollution problems.
(对台湾民众而言，要解决污染问题是困难的。)
注意：不定词为首的主词，可用it (假主词)代替，再将此事件放置在后说明。
3. To be patient with others is best for you. (你对别人有耐心是最好的。)
→ It is best for you to be patient with others.
※句型：It’s +形容词(修饰事物)+for +人+ to +原形动词…
It's +形容词(修饰人)+of+人+ to +原形动词…
修饰"人"的形容词：good, nice, kind, brave, clever, careless, honest, bad, stupid, silly, selfish, polite…等
例：1. It's kind of you to help me. (你真好帮我的忙。)
= You are kind to help me. 注意：因为kind是修饰人的，所以可以用左侧句子表达
2. It's stupid of him to speak ill of others. (他说别人坏话是愚蠢的。)

注意：短语speak ill of....说某人坏话
② 不定词当宾语
