复杂的形式主语和形式宾语的拆分和理解 例189

例189　It's hard to imagine that many people are dumb enough to want children just because Reese and Angelina make it look so glamorous: most adults understand that a baby is not a haircut.

【结构分析】这句话开头是个it形式主语句子，也就是It's hard to imagine that...，后面是真正的宾语从句，宾语从句的主语是many people，系动词是are，表语是dumb enough，后面是不定式短语to want children，后面是原因状语从句just because Reese and Angelina make it look so glamorous，冒号后面是个短句，解释整个句子的另外一层意思，也就是most adults understand that a baby is not a haircut。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于it形式主语句套上宾语从句再套上原因状语从句，很经典。

【核心词汇】

it's hard to imagine that　很难想象

dumb enough　足够的愚蠢

glamorous　有魅力的

a baby is not a haircut　养孩子可不是剪头发那样简单

【参考译文】很难想象有的人生孩子就只是很傻很天真，因为Reese和Angelina这种名流使这种行为变的很光鲜——多数成年人其实理解：养孩子可不是剪头发那样简单。
