句型梳理

语法:强调句型
(1)强调句型常用来突出说话人要强调的语言信息,给对方以强烈的印象和感受。译成汉语时,常加上“正是”等字眼。其基本结构是:It + is/was+被强调部分(通常是主语、宾语或状语)+that/who+其他部分。
He bought a book in this shop yesterday.他昨天在这家店买了一本书。
→It was he that/who bought a book in this shop yesterday.
是他昨天在这家店买了一本书。(强调主语he)
→It was a book that he bought in this shop yesterday.
他昨天在这家店买的是一本书。(强调宾语a book)
→It was in this shop that he bought a book yesterday.
他昨天是在这家店买了一本书。(强调地点状语in this shop)
(2)强调句型的其他形式
①It is/was not until.….+ that +其他部分(此句型中只可用 until,不可用till)

直到火车进站时,他才发现他的手提箱不见了。
②一般疑问句形式:Is/Was +it +被强调部分+that/who+其他部分?
Is it because he is ill that he can't come
是因为生病他才不能来吗
③特殊疑问句形式:疑问词+is/was+it+that+其他部分
Why is it that he can't come

2. Among them are many well-known athletes, both male and female.
语法:表语提前引起的完全倒装
有时为了强调,或使句子平衡,或使上下文衔接更紧密,需要将表语置于句首,此时句子要全部倒装,将系动词提到主语前面;作表语的可以是形容词(短语)、介词短语、分词(短语)。表语置于句首时,倒装结构为“表语+系动词+主语”。
Among the goods are Christmas trees, flowers, candles and toys.
这些商品中有圣诞树、鲜花、蜡烛和玩具。
Great have been our achievements since the reform.
自改革以来,我们取得了巨大的成就。
注意:
在表语提前的倒装句中,要注意主谓一致,即谓语动词的数应与其后的主语保持一致,与表语无关。
3. As if that were not enough, she returned to the Olympics and won a silver medal in 2016, just two years after giving birth to her first child.
语法:as if 引导的从句的语气
as if/as though表示“好像;似乎”,引导方式状语从句或表语从句,从句有语气的变化。
①当句子所陈述的是真实的或极有可能发生或存在的事实时,as if/as though引导的从句用陈述语气。
It sounds as if/as though it is raining.听起来像是在下雨。
②当句子所陈述的是不真实的或极少有可能发生或存在的情况时,as if/as though引导的从句用虚拟语气。表示与现在事实相反的假设时,从句谓语动词用过去式(be动词一般用were);表示与过去事实相反的假设时,从句谓语动词用“had+过去分词”;表示与将来事实相反的假设时,从句谓语动词用“should/would/could/might +动词原形”。
You look as if/as though you didn't care.你看上去好像并不在乎。
He talked as if/as though he had known the fact.他说话的样子就好像他已经知道了真相。
