10. When I told
her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold, she said it
would be an interesting experience.
当我告诉她那里空气稀薄,呼吸困难,而且天气很冷时,她却说这将是一次有趣的经历。
“...the air would be hard to breathe ...”是“主语+系动词+形容词+不定式”结构,其中不定式的谓语与主语在意义上是动宾关系,但要用主动形式表示被动意义,不定式后面如果是不及物动词要在其后加适当的介词与主语构成动宾关系。这一类的形容词通常可以描绘主语的情绪、态度、品质属性或者难易程度,如hard, difficult, easy, nice, interesting,
important, pleasant和comfortable等。
