It's one thing to read about these things and fire off a know-it-all screed in the comments section of some website, but it's different when it's on your doorstep.
这句话中when引导的从句是主语从句还是时间状从?
同理由此引申出:如果it作主句主语,从句是由where、if引导,怎么区分主语从句和地点状语、条件状语从句?
It's one thing to read about these things and fire off a know-it-all screed in the comments section of some website, but it's different when it's on your doorstep.
看划线部分,从语义对应来看,两个it 的作用应该是相同的。
第一个It 是形式主语,不定式是真正主语。第二个it 也是形式主语,但when it's on your doorstep不是真正主语,真正主语被省略掉了,补充完整为:
but it's different to do it/so when it's on your doorstep.
这样,when it's on your doorstep 是修饰不定式的时间状语从句。同样一件事情,增加了时间状语这个前提,才有了different。
常言道,有些事说起来容易,但真正轮到你的头上(出现在你家门口时),情况就不一样了。
