虛主詞it (用法 十):
It is / was / true that …… but …… (誠然……但……)
= Indeed ……… but ……
說明:提出反面意見,重點在but之後。
例句:
1. It is ture that (= Indeed ) he is old, but he is still strong.
(不錯,他是老了,但也仍然很強壯。)
2. It is true that money makes the mare go, but it is also the root of all evils.
(有錢能使鬼推磨,但錢也是萬惡的根源。)
研究:
句型與 (al)though……同義,先承認別人(或一般)的看法,再提出自己的主張。(al)though不得與but并用。本句型可用to be sure。but 亦可用 yet, still,
例如:He is old, to be sure, but he is still strong.
