It is...what 从句

核心问题

What you need most is a good rest.

我知道充当主语的动词不定式和 that 从句都可以用 it(形式主语)来代替,从而被置于句末,例如:

To find a job in these days is difficult. \rightarrow It is difficult to find a job in these days. (AEG) 但不知上面充当主语的 what 从句能否像动词不定式和 that 从句那样也用 it 代替, 从而退居句末?

词典解答

这样的用法并不罕见(参见 it ... what)。下面是一个我们从语法书上查到的例句:

It is a complete mystery what has happened to him. (AEG) 他究竟发生了什么事, 这完全是一件很神秘的事。

练习题
