公式:
无灵主语句=无灵主语+有灵动词
“无灵主语”(inanimate subject) 就是“没有生命力”的东西
做主语。比如时间，地点，自然现象等。
“有灵动词”(animate verb) 就是把没有生命力的东西，赋予有生命力的动作。

1.Why do we use the Inanimate subject in writing
2.What’s the advantage of inanimate subject in writing
在写作时，反复用同一有生命的词作主语，使语句显得单调，重复。
I have learnt that success is not final. So I always stay humble and
never let it go to my head.
两个I的使用，使句子显得平淡，甚至缺少连贯性，但如果稍加变动，句子会显得协调的多.
Life has taught me that success is not final. So I always stay
humble and never let it go to my head.
1.增加主语多样性，丰富句型，错落有致。
将无生命的事物作主语而展开的句子，往往会用上比喻、拟人等修辞手法，语言随之提升一个档次。这也就是无灵主语的难点所在，也是华丽之处。
I forgot his name.
His name was forgotten by me.
His name slipped my mind. 他的名字溜出了我的大脑。
His name didn't take root in my mind. 他的名字没有在我头脑中扎根。
无灵主语句并不是简单的主动语态变为被动语态，而是用主动语态去表达被动意义。
2.使语言更具生动性，避免文章枯燥乏味，呆板无力。
主语是有生命的事物时，展开的句子往往带有该有生命物质
的主观感彩，而如果是无灵主语，则表达很客观。
海外华人时刻关注祖国。
3.减少人称主语的使用，增加语言表达的客观性。
Motherland, always, is drawing the heart of overseas Chinese.
