it,it was only Japan which could confronted them.
it was only Japan which could confronted them.这里的it是指什么
答
指能面临他们的国家这里which 引导的是定语从句,其先行词是名词Japan,那么it 就作了主语,是新创建的一个有新意义的代词,不指前面的任何一个,指a country which could confronted themwhich 换成 that 更好理解it was...你是说it指a country which could confronted them是这样的但it 没必要换成a country which could confronted them就像it is fine today 中it 指的是天气没必要写成the weather is fine
