句型梳理
1. (教材P2 ) Although it's the doctors and nurses who will treat her injury, it's
my job to make her feel better.
尽管为她治疗伤痛的是医生和护士,但让她的心情变好则是我的工作。
强调句型的结构:It is/was + 被强调部分 + that/who +其他部分。
该向型可强调主语、宾语、状语等,但不能强调谓语。
The clown doctor entertains the little crying patients in the children's hospital.
小丑医生逗乐儿童医院里哭闹的小病人。
It is the clown doctor that/who entertains the little crying patients in the children's hospital(强调主语)
It is the little crying patients that/who the clown doctor entertains in the children's hospital.(强调宾语)
It is in the children's hospital that the clown doctor entertains the little crying patients. (强调地点状语)
(1)说明:
① It强调句型一般疑问句式
Is/Was it + 被强调部分 +that/who + 其他部分?
Was it he that/who met an old friend in the park yesterday
昨天在公园碰见一位老朋友的是他吗?
(被强调部分指人时,可以用who代替that,其他情况一律用that)
Was it in 193g that the Second World War broke out
第二次世界大战是在1939 年爆发的吗?
② It强调句型特殊疑问句式
疑问词 +is/was it + that/who+ 其他部分?
When was it that he met an old friend in the park iid omit ter ins
他是什么时候在公园遇到一位老朋友的?
Where was it that he met an old friend yesterday
昨天他是在哪里遇到一位老朋友的?
③ It强调句型与 not…until 连用
It is/was not until…+ that+其他部分
It was not until ten o'clock last night that he went to bed.
他昨晚直到十,点钟才上床睡觉。
It was not until the last operation was finished that Bethune left the battle hospital. 直到最后一次手术结束,白求恩才离开战地医院。
(2)误区警示:
①构成强调句型的it不能用其他词代替。
②用 is 还是was 要根据原向的时态而定:属于现在或将来时间范畴的所有时态用 is; 属于过去时间范畴的所有时态用 was。
③强调句型的判断方法:去掉 it is/was 与 that/who,剩余部分若结构完整、句意明确,则为强调句型,否则就不是。
