“Take it for granted that”引导的从句用法详解
什么是 “take it for granted that”？
“Take it for granted that...” 是一个常见的英语句型，表示“认为……是理所当然的”。
其中 it 是形式宾语，真正的宾语是由 that 引导的宾语从句。
句子结构分析
基本结构为：
Subject + take(s) it for granted that + clause
例如：
- We take it for granted that the sun will rise every morning.
- She takes it for granted that her parents will always support her.
在这个结构中，it 并不指代任何具体事物，而是作为形式宾语存在，
真正的宾语是后面的 that 从句。
常见误区
- 误将
it当作指代前文内容（实际上它是形式宾语）。 - 省略
it，如错误地说成 “take for granted that...”（在标准英语中通常不可接受）。 - 混淆 “take A for granted”（把A视为理所当然）与 “take it for granted that...”（认为某事理所当然）。
