为了避免头重脚轻，由动词不定式，动名词或名词性从句充当主语的句子，常用it来做形式主语，而把真正的主语放在句子的后面。
e.g. It’s necessary that we should protect our environment.
It’s meaningful to help people in need.
It’s no use waiting without taking action.
It’s never too old to learn.
能够做形式主语、形式宾语的只有it, 其他任何代词都不可以。
It is/was+形容词+ of sb to do sth.
做某事某人是……的。
形容人
在该句型中，it 是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式（短语）。此处形容词常见的有kind、nice、foolish、silly、stupid、rude、careful、clever、crazy等描述人物品质或性格特征的词。

后面疑问词引导的从句才是句子真正的主语, be动词根据时态用is/was；形容词用来评价这件事；疑问词通常为what, when, where, how, who, whether等，从句必须使用陈述语序（不用疑问语序）。
It is unknown when they will start the project.

从句陈述语序：It is clear how we can solve the problem.（正确）

拓展对比
It is important that we learn English well.（that引导，陈述句含义）
It is unknown when we will have the test.（疑问词引导，含有疑问含义）
It + 不及物动词 + that从句

Translation
阅读伟人的故事并从中汲取经验一直是鼓舞人心的。最近，我读到了著名的丝绸之路的开拓者张骞的故事。为了助力击败敌人，汉武帝派遣张骞去寻找月氏人。不幸的是，张骞被敌军俘获。对他来说，完成使命或是重返故土，似乎都是不可能的。然而，大约十年后，他觅得机会逃脱，最终成功找到了月氏人。他始终没有忘记使命，而且他的远行还带回了与西域有关的宝贵信息，真是勇敢且令人钦佩。后来，他再次奉命出使这些地区，以建立邦交。这类故事给予我们力量与启迪。记住过去、探索创造更美好未来的更多可能，对我们而言至关重要。
Is Zhang Qian an inspiring person In what ways
do you find Zhang Qian inspiring
It was difficult for him to travel to the Western Regions without modern transportation
It is amazing that he helped build the relationships with the Western Regions.
It was admirable of him never to give up on his mission despite difficult situations.
I think Zhang Qian is very inspiring. He was caught by the enemy but never gave up his task. After about 10 years, he ran away and found the Yuezhi people. He was brave and responsible. He brought back valuable information and built relationships. His strong spirit encourages us to keep trying and never lose hope.
