反身不定式是否可以改写

请问以下改写是否正确?

The hospital cost 2 million to build----The hospital cost 2 million for me to build.

The letter took tom 2 hours to write---The letter took =2 hours for tom to write.

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
