職稱英語考試:職稱英語語法之強(qiáng)調(diào)與語序

字號:

3.強(qiáng)調(diào):
    強(qiáng)調(diào)是一種修辭方式,如前面所說的“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.
    (她昨天確實來了;我在辦公室見到她的。)
    本講要討論的主要是“it is …。that…”強(qiáng)調(diào)句, 即:將句子中除謂語動詞以外的成分(主語、賓語、狀語等)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了輛玩具火車。)
    強(qiáng)調(diào)主語:It was John who (或that)bought a toy train for his son yesterday.
    強(qiáng)調(diào)賓語:It was a toy train that John bought for his son yesterday.
    強(qiáng)調(diào)賓語(或目的):It was for his son that John bought a toy train yesterday.
    強(qiáng)調(diào)時間狀語: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:
    不要與主語從句相混淆,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?!獜?qiáng)調(diào)句)
    強(qiáng)調(diào)句與主語從句的簡單區(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” 變成了無依著的成分。
