But I still find it hard to imagine. 但我仍然覺得這很難想象。 find it hard (for sb.) to do sth. 這是“動(dòng)詞+it+形容詞/名詞+動(dòng)詞不定式” 結(jié)構(gòu),其中it是形式賓語(yǔ),真正的賓語(yǔ)是后面的 動(dòng)詞不定式短語(yǔ)。其后可接形式賓語(yǔ)it的動(dòng)詞 主要有：make, think, believe, find, consider, feel等。I find it very difficult to write letters in Chinese. 我發(fā)現(xiàn)用漢語(yǔ)寫信很困難。在這句話中,句子的形式賓語(yǔ)為it,真正的賓語(yǔ)為to write letters in Chinese,可以理解為：I find to write letters in Chinese very difficult, 由于賓語(yǔ)過長(zhǎng)，通常把它放在后面。This made it hard for me to control it.這讓我很難控制住它。I consider it a great honor to be invited to a dinner.我認(rèn)為被邀請(qǐng)參加宴會(huì)是很大的榮幸。1. 我發(fā)現(xiàn)研究外國(guó)文化很有意思。 _ _2. 他覺得幫助有需要的人是他的責(zé)任。 _ I found it very interesting to study foreign culture.He feels it his duty to help the people in need.簡(jiǎn)單句合并成并列句或復(fù)合句簡(jiǎn)單句合并成并列句或復(fù)合句 有時(shí)為了增強(qiáng)意義，使句子更加連貫，結(jié)構(gòu)更加緊湊，語(yǔ)言更加生動(dòng)，信息更加準(zhǔn)確，我們要對(duì)簡(jiǎn)單句進(jìn)行整合。如果我們把兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的簡(jiǎn)單句由并列連詞and, but, or等連在一起，我們就得到并列句。如： Last year I met Kate. We became friends. Last year I met Kate and we became friends. 去年我和凱特相遇，我們成了朋友。 The future is bright. The road is tortuous.
