I.  Pre-reading
A Dream of Red Mansions was written in the latter half of the 18th century. It is not only a great Chinese novel but also a gem of world literature. The author is Cao Xueqin (1715-1763), also known as Cao Zhan. He was born to a noble and powerful family, which was reduced from extreme prosperity to poverty.
A Dream of Red Mansions describes the life and declining fortunes of a large feudal family. At the heart of the novel is the tragic love story of Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai. The author, instead of telling a shallow love story tries to tap the social origins of the tragedy by probing the characters’ minds and the complicated relationship between the characters, to expose the hypocrisy(虚伪) and cruelty of that society.

It is +adj +for sb to do sth
这个句型中的 for sb to do sth 是不定式复合结构，它是形式主语it 所代表的真正主语，其中介词 for 的宾语是它后边不定式的逻辑主语。例如：

学习英语对我们来说很重要。
It is important for us to study English.

对他来说学两门外语是很难的。 
2）of sb的句型一般用表示人物的性格，品德，表示主观感情或态度的形容词，如good, kind, nice, clever, foolish, right
