?Unit 2 ?不定詞
不定詞(to+原形動詞),其身份不再是動詞。它在句中扮演名詞、形容詞及副詞這三種身份。
to V
1. 名詞用法→當主語、賓語、補語
例:To buy things in a flea market must be fun. (在跳蚤市場買東西一定很好玩。)
2. 形容詞用法→修飾名詞
例:I have a lot of things to buy. (我有很多東西要買。)
3. 副詞用法→表目的、原因等。
例:I went there to buy notebooks. (我去那里買筆記本。)
不定詞的名詞用法
① 不定詞當主語
The work?is?fun.
To travel around the world?is?fun.
例:1. To answer this question is difficult for me. (對我而言回答這個問題是困難的。)
注意:不定詞放句首當主詞時,視為一件事,其后須接單數動詞。
2. To solve pollution problems is difficult for people in Taiwan.
→ It is difficult for people in Taiwan to solve pollution problems.
(對臺灣民眾而言,要解決污染問題是困難的。)
注意:不定詞為首的主詞,可用it (假主詞)代替,再將此事件放置在后說明。
3. To be patient with others is best for you. (你對別人有耐心是最好的。)
→ It is best for you to be patient with others.

修飾"人"的形容詞:good, nice, kind, brave, clever, careless, honest, bad, stupid, silly, selfish, polite…等
例:1. It's kind of you to help me. (你真好幫我的忙。)?
? ? ? ?= ?You are kind to help me. ? 注意:因為kind是修飾人的,所以可以用左側句子表達
