如果单说“of+抽象名词=形容词”，同学们大概印象比较模糊。先来看一个例句吧：
He is a man of wisdom (=a wise man).
这句话意思是：他是一个聪明人。
“of+抽象名词=形容词” 可用于说明主语的性质，比如：
This question is of importance.(=This question is important.)
She is a woman of learning (=a learned woman ).
The book is of great value (=very valuable).
It is a matter of no importance (=an unimportant matter).
为了强调某种抽象的含义，“be+of+修饰语+抽象名词”可以达到更好的效果。
在抽象名词 (如use, value, help, importance, difference等) 前面可用little, some, any, no, great, not much 等修饰；有的可用同根形容词代替。
比如，要表达时间是“宝贵”的：Each hour, each minute, each second is very valuable for us.
这样说效果更好：
Each hour, each minute, each second is of great value for us.
每小时、每分钟、每一秒对我们都很宝贵。
更多例句：
The work I am doing is not of much value.
我做的工作没有多大价值。
His speech is of little significance.
他的讲话毫不重要。
It is of greatest consequence.
它极为重要。
It’s an invention of great importance.
这是一项非常重要的发明。
Don’t follow the way of least resistance.
不要走最省力气的路。
