這兩句英文句子有什麼分別？

留意既係如果你話係phases既話就得，sentences就唔可以有It is of importance.架啦

講返意思上有咩分別啦，其實如果譯做中文，你可能睇唔出個分別，但係都仲有少少分別要留意既

以garlic2010的例句而言啦： It is of great importance to keep the report a secret.

你都可以話：It is important to keep the report a secret.

第一句同第二句既分別係，第一句將個重點放在 great importance上，第二句將重點放在to keep the report a secret上

可能你唔係好明我講乜，等我俾個case你啦，假設你老闆覺得你將份報告周圍放，唔係好理份文件係咪secret，咁你老闆會用第一句，將個重點放在”重要”上

又例如，當你老闆俾份報告你，你完全唔知呢份係乜野，而你老闆想你把報告列為機密，咁個重點係響"視作機密"上，咁就會用第二句

給garlic2010：其實講真意思上個分別唔係好大，但係確實有少少分別，只係想emphasize個重點響邊度姐

回garlic2010
和steventtw20
：steventtw20
所講的是對，”It is of important.”自己確實不能成為句子，只可當作短句來看，garlic2010也不必太執著此事我覺得其實tomted02他只是用錯了詞彙，我諗佢想表達的是”這兩句英文短句(phases)有什麼分別？”，而唔係”這兩句英文句子(sentences)有什麼分別？”所以是不是一句句子這個問題不需太著意呢，大家當作是短句來看就可以了，更何況這個不是樓主想問的

It is of importance~~它的重要性

It is important ~~最重要

首先，根本就沒有"It is of importance"這個句子，這是一個沒有意思的錯句。"importance"是名詞，而"important"是形容詞，在"It is important"這句中，被形容的是句中的那個"It"，所以句中要用形容詞"important"，而非名詞的"importance"。

importance- adverb
important-adjective

They are not interchangeable in the sentence, meaning is the same.

e.g. It is of great impotance to keep the report a secret.
e.g. Completing the work in time is of great importance to the scuucess of the project
這些事有很大重要性.

e.g. It is important to keep the report a secret.
這些事很重要.

[碩士級 1 級]It is important to have good work habit.這句子中,被形容的不是句中的那個"It". It 是一個替代性的 subject. 這句的意思是To have good habit is important.當然 Having good habit is important 會較好.Having good habit is of great importance.也可以說成It is of great importance to have good habit.
