中学阶段所需要掌握的一个重要句型就是强调句。强调句的作用,顾名思义就是突出讲话者想要强调的部分,比如主语,宾语,状语等。做法通常是将需要进行强调的部分提到前面,再套以一定的句型。下面就以具体的例子进行阐释。 强调句型:It is / was + 被强调的部分 + that /who + 句子的其他部分 1. 强调主语 It was Ann Peter's husband that (who) rushed her to a nearby hospital last night. 昨晚,是安妮.彼德的丈夫将她立刻送到了附近医院。 2. 强调宾语 It was her (she) that (who) Ann Peters' husband rushed to a nearby hospital last night. 昨晚安妮.彼德的丈夫立即送去附近医院的是她。
3. 强调状语 It was to a nearby hospital that Ann Peters' husband rushed her last night. 昨晚安妮.彼德的丈夫立即送她去的就是一家附近的医院。 It was last night that Ann Peters' husband rushed her to a nearby hospital. 就是在昨晚,安妮.彼德的丈夫立即送她去附近医院。
由例子可以看出,强调不同的部分意义有所不同。
要点提示: 1)当原句叙述的是现在或者将来发生的事情用"It is … that…"的句式 例:It is that man that is teaching our English. 就是那个人教我们英语。 当原句叙述的是过去发生的事情则用"It was … that… " 的句式。 例:It was my telephone number that Miss White happened to know. 怀特小姐碰巧知道的就是我的电话号码。
2)在强调句型中,一般用that引出句子的其他部分。如果被强调的部分是表示人时,可以用who代替that,其余都用that。 例: It was you who/that we were talking about.我们刚刚谈论的就是你。 3)It was not until...that ...也是一个强调句型。 例:It was not until yesterday that I finished the book. 直到昨天我才写完了这本书。 原句为:I didn\'t finish the book until yesterday.
4)在强调主语时,注意that/who后边的动词应和主语在人称和数上保持一致。 例:It is my parents who/that are singing in the next room. 就是我的父母正在隔壁房唱歌。 It is I who/that am going for a holiday with Mary. 是我打算和玛丽一起去度假的。
5)有时对判断究竟是强调句还是定语从句会有疑问,可以套用这个规则来判断:如果是强调句,去掉it is/was和that/who还是一个完整的句子,如果是定语从句,则不是。 看看这道题,应该选择哪个选项呢? It ______ at the crossroads ______ he was killed in the accident the other day. A. is; that B. was; that C. is; where D. was; where 答案为B,套用以上的规则,去掉it is和that,原句变为at the crossroads he was killed in the accident the other day,也就是he was killed in the accident the other day at the crossroads,可判断出此句应为强调句型。 比较以下三个句子: It is the mountain village where/at which I stayed last year.(定语从句) It was a mountain village that I visited last year.(强调句) This is the mountain village (which) I visited last year.(定语从句)
