一个英语问题

为什么在新概念英语3册35课练习中The stuff must have found it impossible ____to say"it serves him right". A.they were not to be tempted B.for them not to be tempted C.to be tempted D.not to be tempted中不选B?
答案选的D

Answer 1

全体员工一定已经发现，不受诱惑而不说他罪有应得，是不可能的。
for them 是指全体员工。当主句主语和从句的真正主语一致时可以省略后者 句中it作形式主语 省略for them 为 not to be tempted to say"it serves him right".
it serves him right" 1. 他活该
it serves him right. 他活该。...v] ~ (as sth)用作，当。。。使

2. 他罪有应得
(1) it serves him right，他罪有应得。

3. 那是他应得的报应
He's the butt of their jokes. 他是他们的笑柄。...it serves him right. 那是他应得的报应。...He isn't short of talent. 他很有天分。

4. 他真是活该
假如有一个你很厌恶的人，因为某件事而遭到很尴尬的场面，这时你可以说：...it serves him right.（他真是活该！）
It is impossible for them not to be tempted to say"it serves him right".
be tempted to受诱惑做某事
be tempted to do sth： 极想做
例句
To keep your child "safe, " you may be tempted to home school him.
为了您的孩子“安全，”你可能很想自己在家教育她。
You may be tempted to do the exact opposite of what you've done before.
此时的你似乎会做出与以往截然相反的行为，跟被施了魔法一样。You might be tempted to simply ignore the problem and hope it goes away.
你可能会尝试着忽视这些问题，并让它们早早过去。If your hands are tied behind your back, you will not be tempted to make use of them.
如果你的手在你的背部后面被系，你将不被诱惑利用他们。
Rule number one, never carry a gun, if you carry a gun you might be tempted to use it.
第一条规则，永远不要带枪。如果带了枪，你也许就忍不住要用它。
Man of high moral standards, they are never to be tempted to take such expensive gifts.
他们都具有很高的道德标准，决不会受诱惑接受如此贵重的礼品。

Answer 2

从句型上说，B,C,D都是正确的。其实B,D是一样的，for them加与不加没什么区别，所以从这个角度很容易就可以选择C咯。你应该结合上下文去理解一下，到底要表达的是会被诱惑还是不会被诱惑，会更容易看到正确答案的。（因为我没看到全篇文章，呵呵）

Answer 3

impossible 后一般不加 for 而加 to。
如果要加人，则一般作为主语出现，如sb be impossible to do sth.

Answer 4

如果选B则impossible 和not双重否定表肯定啦,根据句意是,这个职员不会被诱惑.
