改写含有反身不定式的句子

The letter took me all morning to write.可以改为it作主语的句式:It took me all morning to write the letter.

下面这些句子也可以这么改吗:

This decision is for you to make.

The car cost $1000 to repair.

The dispute needed / required a great deal of tact to resolve.

是反射不定式,不是反身不定式。或可叫悬空不定式 (hollow infinitive)。

并非所有反射不定式都可以随意改变句型。有的可以,有的不可以。


This decision is for you to make. 不定式复合结构作表语,表示目的意义。

虽然有 It is for you to make the decision. 但外置主语并不是不定式复合结构,而是to make the decision. for you=up to you. 即:It is up to you to make the decision. To make the decision is up to you. 所以二句的意义不同。又如:

The money is for you to buy a car with.

不能改为:It is for you to buy a car with the money.

The car cost $1000 to repair.

= It cost $1000 to repair the car.

The dispute needed / required a great deal of tact to resolve. 悬空不定式作目的状语。

= It needed/required a great deal of tact to resolve the dispute. 普通不定式作外置主语。

The book is easy to read. 悬空不定式作形容词补足语。

=It is easy to read the book. 普通不定式作外置主语。

但是,The meat is ready to eat. 悬空不定式作形容词补足语。

It is ready to eat the meat. 错误。

所以,不可千篇一律的以为悬空不定式都可改为普通不定式作外置主语。
