 ♣ 下面两句意思不同：

1. 要到这个村并不难。
　［误］ The village is easy to be reached.
　［正］ The village is easy to reach.
　［析］ easy后面所跟不定式中的及物动词通常以主动形式表示被动意义，而不用被动形式。
2. 他很容易就买到了电影票。
　［误］ He was quite easy to get the film tickets.
　［正］ It was quite easy for him to get the film tickets.
　［析］ easy是表示“某事对于某人来说是容易的”，而不是“（人自己）感觉容易”。

　在S+be+～+to-v这一句型中，动词不定式一般都用主动语态，从逻辑上说，S在句子中作主语的同时，又是动词不定式to do的动作接受者，是逻辑上的宾语。例如：
　This lesson is easy to learn.　这课很容易学。lesson在句子中作主语，在逻辑上又是to learn的宾语。主语是人时，也可用于这一句型，但动词不定式须是及物动词或相当于及物动词的短语动词。例如：
　Jack is easy to fool.　杰克很容易愚弄。
　The girl is easy to get along with.　这个女孩很容易相处。
