won everything it was possible to win中形式主语可以去掉吗

待讨论的句子:

But even though he had won everything it was possible to win in his sport, Li Ning retired with the feeling that he had failed.

来源: 外研社高中必修五课文

问题:

加粗部分有个itit前应该省略了一个关系词thatit此时作为形式主语,即指to win everything那么问题来了。

[1]But even though he had won everything that it was possible to win in his sport, Li Ning retired with the feeling that he had failed.

[2]But even though he had won everything that was possible to win in his sport, Li Ning retired with the feeling that he had failed.

如果不使用形式主语,如[2],和[1]这种写法有什么区别(语义语用)(或者说作者为何偏偏要用一个形式主语呢)

2是错误的。如果删去it,则that(指代everything)就成了不定式to win逻辑上的宾语了。换句话说to win不再是真正主语,而成了possible的补足语,to win的逻辑宾语为从句的主语,to win就是反射不定式。问题是possible作表语,其后的不定式不允许反射不定式,所以句子为错误。必须保留形式主语it,让不定式to win作真正主语,thatto win的宾语。(impossible后的补足语可以是反射不定式,但possible不可以。)
