英语六级-写作锦囊关键句447. It is time the authorities concerned took pr

447. It is time the authorities concerned took proper steps to solve the traffic problems.

译文　该是有关当局采取适当的措施来解决交通问题的时候了。

点睛　It is time＋某人＋过去时从句，表示现在是该做某事的时候了。这个句型需要从句使用过去时表示虚拟语气，而主句it is则保持现在时态。如：It is time Mary（某人）thought（过去时，虚拟）about the future of you. （该是玛丽考虑你的未来的时候了）。the authorities concerned指“有关当局”。

句型拓展

It is high time that the article were published. 是时候发表这篇文章了。
