3. 无论英语是本族语还是非本族语的人士编写的英语形容词用法词典中,也没有imaginative用于“It’s +adj.+ of sb. to do sth.”句式的例证,这也证明了imaginative不可以用于“It’s +adj.+ of sb. to do sth.”。  

这样的英语形容词用法词典有:  

(1)John Sinclair 主编的《柯林斯COBUILD英语语法句型2:名次与形容词》(上海外语教育出版社 200012月第1)P501:可用于itv-link ADJ of n to-inf的形容词有:big, brave, clever, courageous, decent, fair, generous, good, great7 kindlovely, nice, prudent, responsible, right, sensible, smart, sweet, thoughtful, wise, absurd, arrogant, cheeky, childish, churlish, clumsy, cruel, disgraceful, disingenuous, foolish, gutless, hypocritical, immoral, improper, impudent, irrational, irresponsible, mean, naive, negligent, perverse, presumptuous, rude, selfish, shameful, silly, stupid, thoughtless, unfair, unkind, unprofessional, unreasonable, unworthy, wrong, characteristic, typical, uncharacteristic。  

(2)胡孝申主编的《英语形容词用法词典》(武汉大学出版社 20056月第1)P291只有imaginative用于“~ NP”E~”的两个句型。  

(3)王希山编著的《英语形容词搭配结构词典》(上海译文出版社 20044 月第1 )根本没有收录imaginative一词。  

4. 实际上,在英美国家的语料库中,也没有imaginative用于“It’s +adj.+ of sb. to do sth.”句式的例证:  

(1)BUY-BNC BRTISH NATIONAL CORPUS (UK,1980s-1993) (Mark Davies, Brigham Young University ) http://corpus.byu.edu/bnc/SEARCH STRING上输入“it verb.ALL imaginative”, 只得到1个句子:  

The following morning six of the travelling journalists showed up innocently for breakfast in Chicago wanting to know where everyone had gone. They had not been reachable when they were phoned in the night! Governor Dukakis tried a similar dramatic stunt in 1988, holding midnight and early hour rallies for supporters between California and Boston on the last night of the campaign. That didn't work either, but it was imaginative and made the supporters feel better.  

可以看出包含imaginative的句子不属于“It’s +adj.+ of sb. to do sth.”句式。  

SEARCH STRING上输入 “imaginative of”, 得到以下7个句子:  

The boys declared it a feast compared with the week before and polished off their chocolate as a bonus. Gareth said casually,' Was it in a place like this that someone killed Angela Brickell?'' Well... I should think so. But five miles or so from here,' I said.' And it was summer,' he commented.' Warm. Leaves on the trees.'' Mm.' Imaginative of him, I thought.' She wanted to kiss me,' he said with a squirm.  

Scales was the most imaginative of his inspectors; he had started in fingerprints and now specialised in fraud cases.  

NOT even the most imaginative of San Diego Chargers fans would have been entertaining Super Bowl thoughts after the team lost their first four games.  

The tightness of the competition programme gave little scope to all, except the most imaginative of architects, for great variations in the layout of the two offices, and even the block plans tended towards similar solutions.  

And I suspect also that from time to time the director feels that he has to placate the more hard-nosed and less imaginative of his many paymasters by producing something that could be regarded as promoting trade.  

To read Tolkien, Morris, Hodgson, Wells and Verne, to mention a few of the most imaginative of authors is to expand the confines of the mind and to jolt it out of its habitual furrow.  

So are her romantic schoolgirls, and Betsy in this book is the most imaginative of all the race.  

可以看出包含imaginative的句子均不属于“It’s +adj.+ of sb. to do sth.”句式。  

(2)The CORPUS OF CONTEMPORAY AMERICAN ENGLISH (1990-2012) (Mark Davies, Brigham Young University) http://www.americancorpus.org/ SEARCH STRING上输入“it verb.ALL imaginative”,得到以下2“be +imaginative ”的句子:  

I think in that sense it was dramatic; it was bold; it was imaginative.  

"You don't like my box, do you? I spent all morning."  "Honestly," said Paul, "it's beautiful. It’s imaginative. Just so long as you don't imagine... well, that an actual cat or dog..."
