这便是便条中的第二个错误，也就是形容词句型（adjective pattern）不对。

　　I am urgent to get a flat at this block.这句话直译成中文是：我急着要在这座组屋买间单位，很顺口，很恰当。但是这句里的urgent不符合形容词惯用句型。反向翻译（中英），应该是：I am in urgent need of a flat at this block。不然就要把句型改为：It is urgent for me to get a flat at this block.

　　在英语里，it+be+adjective+（for someone） +to-infinitive是个极常用的形容词句型，如：

　　① It is possible for you to become a good editor.

　　② It is necessary for all of us to abide by the law and order of a country.

　　③ It is useful for us to learn a second language well.

　　④ It is fortunate to have such a good boss.

　　⑤ It is impossible to teach a lauguage well without a good dedicated teacher.

　　⑥ Is it right to say one thing but to do another thing?

　　⑦ Is it comfortable for you to act with a guilty conscience?

　　最后，顺便把与urgent有关的正确用法举出来：

　　⑧ This matter is important but not urgent, so take your time.

　　⑨ The woman sitting on the sofa wants to see the manager. She is urgent in her request.

　　⑩ We have just received a very urgent directive on the reshuffle of some key personnel.
