[誤]New York is much colder in winter than before.
[正]It is much colder in New York in winter than before.
[析]it常常用在英文的句子中來代表時間、距離、天氣、自然現(xiàn)象，或用在句中作形式主語或賓語，如：
It is ten o'clock now. (代時間)
It is far from here to the airport. (代距離)
It is very hot.(代天氣)
It is very difficult to learn English well. (作形式主語)
We found it very difficult to answer the question. (作形式賓語)
[誤]Be careful. Don't drink too many.
[正]Be careful. Don't drink too much.
[析]這里much所代的應是飲料或水，所以應為不可數(shù)名詞。
