这是一个省略了关系代词的定语从句。关系代词在从句中作何成分,取决于found的用法。found可以后接宾语从句,也可以后接复合宾语。所以,如果不考虑时态因素,则四个选项都是可以的。
1 选择A项:
Arabic is a language (that) I found it is difficult to learn.
关系代词在found的宾语从句中作to learn的宾语。it形式主语,不定式为真正主语。
2 选择B项:
Arabic is a language (that) I found it difficult to learn.
关系代词作to learn的宾语,it为形式宾语,不定式为真正宾语。
3 选择C项:
Arabic is a language (that) I found difficult to learn.
关系代词作found的宾语,形容词短语difficult to learn为宾补,其中to learn为悬空不定式。
4 选择D项:
Arabic is a language (that) I found is difficult to learn.
关系代词在found的宾语从句中作主语(被省略),difficult to learn为形容词短语作表语,其中to learn为悬空不定式。
但定语从句中的found为一般过去时,后接宾语从句时,根据时态一致的原则,宾语从句应该用相应的过去时态,即be应该为was. 所以,从考试选择最佳答案的角度考虑,应该首选B、C二项(即选择复合宾语结构,避免时态的选择)。在B、C二项中,C项更为简洁,应为最佳答案。
