Emphasis
强调句是一种修辞,是人们为了表达自己的意愿或情感而使用的一种形式。
用助动词“do(does/did)+动词原形”来表示强调。
He does know the place well.
Do write to me when you get there.
2. 用形容词very,only,single,such等修饰名词或形容词来加强语气。
That’s the very textbook we used last term.
You are the only person here that can speak Chinese.
Not a single person has been in the shop this morning.
How dare you buy such expensive jewels?
3. 用ever, never, very, just等副词进行强调。
Why ever did you do so?
He never said a word the whole day.
You’ve got to be very, very careful.
This is just what I wanted.
4. 用in the world,on earth,at all等介词短语可以表达更强的语气(常用于疑问句)。
Where in the world could he be?
What on earth is it?
Do you know at all?
5. 用感叹句来表示强烈的感情,突出说话人的情感。
How interesting it is!
Oh, what a lie!
6. 用倒装句(也就是将要强调的句子或被强调的部分置于句首)来加强语气。
On the table were some flowers.
Many a time have I climbed that hill.
Only in this way can we solve this problem.
7.用It is / was …that /who…来强调一个句子中除谓语以外的任何句子成分。
I bought this car in that shop last month.
1. It was I who/that bought this car in that
shop last month. (强调主语) 2. It was this car that I bought in that shop
last month. (强调宾语) 3. It was in that shop that I bought this car
last month. (强调地点状语) 4. It was last month that I bought this car in
that shop. (强调时间状语)
注意:
(1) 强调句型的时态要以原句的时态为依据。原句用现在时,强调句用is;若原句为过去时,强调句中则要用was。
I met him in the street yesterday.
→It was him that I met in the street yesterday.
(2)要注意主谓一致性。
It’s we who are to answer for it.
It’s I, not my parents, that am waiting for the bus.
(3) 强调时间、地点状语时不得用when和where取代that,也应避免使用which。
(4) 被强调的是疑问句,改为强调句后仍用疑问句结构。
What do you want me to do
→What is it that you want me to do
(5) 被强调的如果是not …until; because;only after等状语从句时,习惯上用 “It is/was not until… that…”; “It is (was) because …that…”, “It was only after … that …” 结构。
(6) 注意强调句型与其它句型的区别。
强调句型和定语从句的区别主要从以下两方面考虑:
强调句式“It is (was) … that/who” 可去掉,不影响句意,剩下的词能单独组成一个完整的句子,而包含定语从句的句子不能这样做。
It is tomorrow that they will begin their work.
→Tomorrow they will begin their work.
It is (was)后,若是名词及名词词组,其后一般是定语从句;若是副词、介词短语,则句子属强调句式。
It is in the hall a meeting was held. (that/where)
在此句中,若选that,句子是强调句型;若选where,则是定语从句。试比较:
Was it on that day that you joined the army (强调句式)
Was it that day when you joined the army (定语从句)
