3. 無論英語是本族語還是非本族語的人士編寫的英語形容詞用法詞典中，也沒有imaginative用于“It’s +adj.+ of sb. to do sth.”句式的例證，這也證明了imaginative不可以用于“It’s +adj.+ of sb. to do sth.”。　　

這樣的英語形容詞用法詞典有：　　

(1)John Sinclair 主編的《柯林斯COBUILD英語語法句型2：名次與形容詞》(上海外語教育出版社 2000年12月第1版)P501：可用于itv-link ADJ of n to-inf的形容詞有：big, brave, clever, courageous, decent, fair, generous, good, great⁷ ，kind，lovely, nice, prudent, responsible, right, sensible, smart, sweet, thoughtful, wise, absurd, arrogant, cheeky, childish, churlish, clumsy, cruel, disgraceful, disingenuous, foolish, gutless, hypocritical, immoral, improper, impudent, irrational, irresponsible, mean, naive, negligent, perverse, presumptuous, rude, selfish, shameful, silly, stupid, thoughtless, unfair, unkind, unprofessional, unreasonable, unworthy, wrong, characteristic, typical, uncharacteristic。　　

(2)胡孝申主編的《英語形容詞用法詞典》(武漢大學出版社 2005年6月第1版)P291只有imaginative用于“~ NP”和“ＢE~”的兩個句型。　　

(3)王希山編著的《英語形容詞搭配結構詞典》(上海譯文出版社 2004年4 月第1 版)根本沒有收錄imaginative一詞。　　

4. 實際上，在英美國家的語料庫中，也沒有imaginative用于“It’s +adj.+ of sb. to do sth.”句式的例證：
