根据过去学习的语法知识，difficult to do是固定搭配，句子就是这么说的。不知道怎么解释可以跟清楚些，抱歉啦。

这个题牵涉到不定式与前面所修饰名词的搭配关系。不定式修饰前面的名词作后置定语，存在以下几种关系：
1. 主动关系：不定式与所修饰名词是主动关系，即名词是不定式结构的逻辑主语。
如：
He was the last one to arrive (=who arrived)
Have you got the key to unlock the door (=that can unclock the door)?
2. 动宾关系，即名词是不定式结构的逻辑宾语。
如：
He has a large family to support (=he must support )
This is the last book to read (= that we can read).
3. 同位关系
I had no wish to quarrel with you.
He hit back the urge to tell a lie.
作名词后置修饰语的不定式可以采取主动态，也可以用被动态。有时两种语态均可采用，意义上无甚区别。
Give me a list of people to invite/ to be invited.
There is no time to lose/ to be lost.
但在有些情况下，用主动态比用被动态自然，如：
I’ve got letters to write.
We’ve got a lot of cases to investigate.
另外一些情况下，又以被动态为妥，如：
The cases to be investigated are not to be made public in press.
The question to be discussed at the next meeting will be hard nut to crack.

这里，我认为被动和主动都可以，只是主动更自然一些。

不定式to do修饰前面的something。difficult也是something的定语，碰到anything、something等，difficult要放在anything、something后面。

我认为应该选A.

you have something difficult to do.    句中主语是you, 也是do 这个动作的发出者，所以用主动语态。

如果换成被动语态，句子就成了这样的：

you have something difficult to be done. 意味着你要别人去做困难的事情，而不是自己去做；也就是说句中主语you 不是do这个动作的发出者，而是have这个动作的发出者。根据上下文，显然不合题意。

A
keep trying 继续反复努力尝试   sb have sth to do 要去做某事

beibei581

A
keep trying 继续反复努力尝试   sb have sth to do 要去做某事

A。
keep doing sth, have sth (difficult) to do

txltree

选A。我认为第二空主语为人，所有用主动。

孩子想请教一下，you have something difficult to be done.这句话，有没有另外一种情况，表示“你有件困难的事情要完成”，强调的是“完成”？
