2．They’re said to be very good．据说他们都很不错。
不定式“to be very good作主语补足语，说明主语的情况。全句相当于It is said that they are very good 或 People say (that) they are very good。
这类句子在转换时，要注意不定式的形式变化。
(1) It is said that he is translating the book into English. = He is said to be translating the book into English.

5．They go to the newspaper's own library to look up any information that they need．他们到报社自己的图书馆去查阅他们需要的资料。
（1）that they need定语从句，修饰先行词information。关系代词只用that而不用which，因为当先行词之前有不定代词all，any，every，no，some等修饰时或先行词本身就是不定代词（如anything，something，nothing，all等）时，其后的定语从句常用关系代词引导。如果that在定语从句中作宾语，that可以省略。

2）look up

B．当begin，start本身为-ing形式时，其后应跟不定式。
