求解析这个英语句子,one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.

这个句子的意思是:无论是书友还是朋友,我们都应该以最好的为伴。对于最后那句,whether it be of books or of men,神马玩意儿,语法是什么,求解释,这里的it指的什么?it be of。。。是什么语法结构?既不是句子又不像短语,我很不解。

be of +名词有两种用法,都是表现主语性质和特征的
一个是跟抽象名词,如value, importance, significance, benefit。
表现了主语的意义,重要性等等
另一种是跟具体的名词,如种类,颜色,数量,大小
表现了具体性质。

这里用到的是第二种,描述best company的种类,书本或人

至于为什么whether直接跟了it be of
whether...or…引导的让步状语从句中,我们有时会见到用be型虚拟语气的形式。
所谓be型虚拟语气形式,就是所有动词(包括be在内)都用原形表示,没有人称、数、时态的变化,也没有体的变化。

翻译应该是: 每个人都应该有最好的伴侣,无论是一本书或者一个人. OF 是修饰 THE BEST COMPANY的.
