英语4种特殊句式之句法强调——强调句的10种用法(10=1 2 3 4)

 舍之不得 2020-02-24

在前面两篇文章中,我们学习了强调中的读法强调词法强调,本文我们来看句法强调,也就是很多人熟悉的强调句。关于强调句,我们要掌握它的1种陈述语序,2种疑问语序,3种变式,还有4个注意事项。构建思维导图如下:

英语4种特殊句式之句法强调——强调句的10种用法(10=1+2+3+4)

1陈述

强调句的结构:It is/was+句子被强调的部分+that/who+句子剩余部分。

强调句一定是在一个完整句子上变化而来。去掉It is/was和that/who之后,剩下的能合并为一个完整的句子。只有在强调人时既可用that又可用who。

比如:A dog bit him in the park yesterday. 昨天在公园一只狗咬了我。

强调主语:It wasa dog that bit him in the park yesterday.

昨天在公园是一只狗咬了他。(强调是狗而不是蚊子之类的咬他)

强调宾语:It was him that/who a dog bit in the park yesterday.

昨天在公园是他让狗咬了。(强调是他而不是其他人被咬了)

强调地点状语:It was in the park that a dog bit him yesterday.

昨天那狗是在公园咬的他。(强调是在公园而不是其他地方咬的)

2疑问

以上面的陈述句为例:It was in the park that a dog bit him yesterday.

一般疑问句:

Was it in the parkthat a dog bit him yesterday?

昨天那狗到底是不是在公园咬的他?

特殊疑问句:

Where was it that a dog bit him yesterday?

昨天那狗到底是在什么地方咬的他?

3变式

It's not A that…; it's B.(不是A…,是B)

It's not A but B that…(不是A而是B…)

It's B that…, not A.(正是B…,不是A)

请自己尝试翻译以下三个例句。

It's not a cat that bit him in the park yesterday; it's a dog.

It's not a cat but a dog that bit him in the park yesterday.

It's a dog that bit him in the park yesterday, not a cat.

这三种变式都是为了强调两者中的一者而不是另外一者。比如这句话:

It's not the years in your life that counts; it's the life in your years.

重要的不是你的人生活了多少年,而是在这些年里你过了什么样的人生。(重要的是人生的长度,而是人生的宽度)

4注意

1)对含until的否定句中的时间状语进行强调,要把not和until都放于被强调的位置。

陈述句:He didn't go to bed until his mum told him a story.

强调句:It wasnot until his mum told him a story that he went to bed.

2)强调句型不能用于强调谓语。可以在谓语动词前加助动词do/does/did进行强调,常译为“确实,一定”。

Do come early. 一定早点来。

She does like you. 她的确喜欢你。

She did send you a letter last week. 她上周确实给你寄过一封信。

3)强调句型只能用于强调because引导的原因状语从句

It was because(不能用since,as等连词) he was ill that he didn't go to work.

4)强调句型不能用于强调让步状语从句

比如Though he is a child, he knows a lot. 不能把though he is a child放到It is和that之间。

除了我们讲解的词法强调和句法强调,还有通过倒装(把句子的某个成分置于句首)来实现的位置强调,我们放到后文“倒装”部分再讲。可以点击下方的了解更多查看倒装的讲解。
