強(qiáng)調(diào):
強(qiáng)調(diào)是一種修辭方式,如前面所說(shuō)的"倒裝"就是一種重要的強(qiáng)調(diào)手段。
此外,還可以借助助詞進(jìn)行強(qiáng)調(diào),例如:
She did come yesterday; I saw her in the office.
(她昨天確實(shí)來(lái)了;我在辦公室見(jiàn)到她的。)
本講要討論的主要是"it is ….that…"強(qiáng)調(diào)句, 即:將句子中除謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞以外的成分(主語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)、狀語(yǔ)等)用"it is ….that…"加以連接,組成強(qiáng)調(diào)句,如果是人,也可以用"it is… who…", 例如:
John bought a toy train for his son yesterday.(昨天約翰給他兒子買(mǎi)了輛玩具火車(chē)。)
強(qiáng)調(diào)主語(yǔ):It was John who (或that)bought a toy train for his son yesterday.
強(qiáng)調(diào)賓語(yǔ):It was a toy train that John bought for his son yesterday.
強(qiáng)調(diào)賓語(yǔ)(或目的):It was for his son that John bought a toy train yesterday.
強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ):It was yesterday that John bought a toy train for his son .
學(xué)習(xí)強(qiáng)調(diào)句要注意以下兩點(diǎn):
不要與主語(yǔ)從句相混淆,例如:
It is well known that light travels in straight lines.
(眾所周至,光以直線傳播! 主語(yǔ)從句)
It was not until the early 18th century that the significance of the event was generally realized.
(直到18世紀(jì)初,這一事件的意義才為公眾所認(rèn)識(shí)。——強(qiáng)調(diào)句)
強(qiáng)調(diào)句與主語(yǔ)從句的簡(jiǎn)單區(qū)分是:強(qiáng)調(diào)句去掉"it is…that…",句子結(jié)構(gòu)依然正確,意思不變,如上句:"until the 18th century the significance of the event was not generally realized". 但是主語(yǔ)從句就不行,如上句:"well know that light travels in straight line"就不通, 句中 "well know" 變成了無(wú)依著的成分。
不要陷入"考試陷阱",例如:
It was not until 1943 ______ Penicillin was put into clinical use that many fatal diseases were brought under control.
A.that
B.when
C.before
D.after
看到這個(gè)題目,考生第一個(gè)反應(yīng)是"強(qiáng)調(diào)句",很快選擇了A,但是再仔細(xì)讀一下,句子后面已經(jīng)有"that",說(shuō)明這個(gè)題目的考點(diǎn)不在"強(qiáng)調(diào)句"上,而是考"定語(yǔ)從句"的"關(guān)系副詞"when, 故正確答案是B,A稱(chēng)為"干擾項(xiàng)".
