glad¹

nice to meet(see) you/glad to meet(see) you

问

Nice to meet(see) you. 和 Glad to meet(see) you. 都表示“认识(见到)你(们)很高兴”。它们是否同一句型呢？

答

Nice to meet(see) you. 和 Glad to meet(see) you. 虽然表示的意思相似,但句型却是不同的。Nice to meet(see) you. = It's nice to meet(see) you. 其中动词不定式 to meet(see) you 是真实主语。而 Glad to meet(see) you. = I'm glad to meet(see) you. 其中动词不定式 to meet (see) you 是形容词 glad 的补足语(参见 nice $^{2,3}$ )。

glad²

be glad to do/be glad that

问

be glad to do 与 be glad that 在用法上有什么区别？

答

当句子的主语与 to do 的逻辑主语一致时,一般采用 be glad to do 的结构;当句子的主语与 that 从句的主语不一致时,一般采用 be glad that 的结构(参见 sure that):

He was glad to see us. 他见到我们非常高兴。
I am glad that you had a good time at the party. 我真高兴你在晚会上玩得很开心。

glad³

be glad (that)

问

形容词 glad 之后的从句 they...places 是什么从句？

见 sure that。
