为了突出我们想表达的内容,我们通常会采用一些方法让其他人注意到这个部分,而强调句就是这样的一个手段。本文总结了强调结构的基本用法和使用时应注意的十个细节。
基本用法
为了强调句子的某一成分(通常是主语、宾语或状语)常用强调结构:
It is(was)+被强调部分+that(who)...
例如:
I met Li Ming at the railway station yesterday.
强调主语:It was I that(who) met Li Ming at the railway station yesterday.
强调宾语:It was Li Ming that I met at the railway station yesterday.
强调地点状语:It was at the railway station that I met Li Ming yesterday.
强调时间状语:It was yesterday that I met Li Ming at the railway station.
十个细节
1. 一般来说,原句的谓语动词如果是现在时或将来时,用It is ... that(who)... 结构;如果是过去的各种时态用It was... that(who)... 结构。如:
It is Tom that /who goes to school on foot every day.
It was Tom that /who broke the window yesterday.
2. 强调主语时,that/who后面的谓语动词要与被强调部分的人称与数要保持一致。如:
It is I that/who am a teacher.
3. 即使被强调的部分是复数,也用it is或it was。如:
It is they what/ who often help me with my homework.
4. 在强调时间、地点,方式或原因状语时,不要用when, where, how, why, 而用that;另外,只有强调人时,才可以用who代替that。如:
It was in front of the bank that the old lady was robbed.
5. 被强调的部分是代词,主语用主格,宾语用宾格。如:
It was he that helped me yesterday.
It was me that he helped yesterday.
6. 在强调一般疑问句中的某一成分时,把is/was提前。如:
普通句:Did this happen in Beijing?
强调句:Was it in Beijing that this happened?
7. 特殊疑问句的强调句结构是:
被强调部分(通常是疑问词)+is/was it that+... 如:
普通句:Where are you born?
强调句:Where was it that you were born?
8. 强调部分既包括人又包括物时,用that不用who。如:
It was the things and people that they remembered that they were talking about.
9. not ... until ... 句型的强调句,用It is/ was not until + 被强调部分 + that + 其他部分。如:
普通句:He didnt go to bed until/ till his wife came back.
强调句:It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.
此句型只用until,不用till。但如果不是强调句型,till, until可通用;因为句型中It is/ was not ... 已经是否定句了,that后面的从句要用肯定句,切勿再用否定句了。
10. 强调谓语动词,不可用It is/ was ... that ... 结构,而要用助动词do/ does或did,其后用原形,相当于汉语的“的确”“真的”“一定”“务必”。如:
Do sit down.
He did write to you last week.
Do be careful when you cross the street.
注意:此种强调只能强调谓语动词为一般现在时或一般过去时的情况,进行时或完成时是不能用do, does, did来强调的。
強调句是一种非常好用的句型,能够清楚明确地指出你想要表达的重点。
因此,建议考生在写作中恰当运用。endprint
