b. We believe him to be guilty.
我們相信他是有罪的。
Find 的特殊用法:
Find 后可用分詞做賓補,或先加形式賓語,再加形容詞,最后加帶to 的動詞不定式。find后也可帶一個從句。此類動詞還有g(shù)et,have。

Seem, appear, be said, be supposed, be believed, be thought, be known, be reported, hope, wish, desire, want, plan, expect, mean…
The book is believed to be uninteresting.
人們認為這本書沒什么意思。

4 It’s for sb.和 It’s of sb.
1)for sb. 常用于表示事物的特征特點,表示客觀形式的形容詞,如easy, hard, difficult, interesting, impossible等:

for 與of 的辨別方法:

He is hard. (人是困難的,不通,因此應(yīng)用for。)

典型例題
