While comment and reaction from lawyers may enhance stories, it ispreferable for journalists to rely on their own notions of significance andmake their own judgments.
明明这句话中不定式描述的是两件事，为何仍然是it is呢，为何不需要are呢，难道it be句型作形式主语时只可以用is?
it是虚拟主语，形式主语，不是人称代词，所以it与外置主语是几个不定式或that从句无关。这种形式主语是没复数形式的，因此be也永远与it一致，用单数形式。
