it + be + foolish + of [someone] + to-infinitive
feel / look / seem foolish
make a foolish + noun
用法筆記
Can be used both before a noun (a foolish decision) and after linking verbs such as feel, look, or seem. The pattern 'it is/was foolish of someone to do something' always takes the preposition 'of', never 'for'. Less offensive than 'stupid' when describing a person.
