Anticipatory it

先行it

 

       In grammar, the term is sometimes used for the kind of it found in extraposition, where it corresponds to a later item in the sentence, e.g. It was nice to see her. This anticipatory it (or anticipatory subject) is also referred to as ‘extrapositive’ or ‘preparatory’ it, and is distinguished from the prop or dummy it found in It was raining, etc.

 

       语法中有时用来指外置的it,它对应于句子中稍后出现的一个成分,例如 It was nice to see het“见到她今人高兴”。这个先行it(或“先行主语”)也称作“外置it”或“先备it”,区别于It was raining“当时在下雨”中的支撑词it或假位it等。
