此时主语为反射不定式（不是反身不定式）的逻辑宾语，宜用双宾语结构，似乎不宜用for ... to结构，即：

The hospital cost (me) 2 million to build.

The letter took (Tom) 2 hours to write.

如果使用it作形式主语（当然，此时不再是反射不定式），也是通常用双宾语结构，即：

It cost (me) 2 million to build the hospital.

It took (Tom) 2 hours to write the letter.

相比之下，使用for ... to结构较少，尤其是cost句子。
