强调: 强调是一种修辞方式,如前面所说的倒装就是一种重要的强调手段。 此外,还可以借助助词进行强调,例如: She did come yesterday; I saw her in the office. (她昨天确实来了;我在办公室见到她的。) 本讲要讨论的主要是it is that强调句, 即:将句子中除谓语动词以外的成分(主语、宾语、状语等)用it is that加以连接,组成强调句,如果是人,也可以用it is who, 例如: John bought a toy train for his son yesterday.(昨天约翰给他儿子买了辆玩具火车。) 强调主语:It was John who (或that)bought a toy train for his son yesterday. 强调宾语:It was a toy train that John bought for his son yesterday. 强调宾语(或目的):It was for his son that John bought a toy train yesterday. 强调时间状语:It was yesterday that John bought a toy train for his son . 学习强调句要注意以下两点: 不要与主语从句相混淆,例如: It is well known that light travels in straight lines. (众所周至,光以直线传播。 主语从句) It was not until the early 18th century that the significance of the event was generally realized. |
