英语中,表示“强调”的方法有很多。首先,在一个句子中我们可以通过嵌入某些单词或短语来实现。例如:
That is the very reason why I want to apologize to you.(very 表示“恰恰,正是”的含义,表示强调。)
What in the world (on earth) did you mean by saying that? (in the world和on earth 两个短语都表示“究竟,到底”的含义,表示强调。)
I don’t like the picture at all.(at all 和not 连用,表示强调:“一点也不”。)
He shouldn’t be blamed for that because he is nothing but a child.(nothing but 理解为“仅仅,只不过”的意思,表示强调。)
The family did manage to send him to a technical school.(在谓语动词之前加do, does, did 也可以达到强调动词词义的目的。)
但在更多的时候,我们则使用强调句型来实现“强调”之目的。例如:
It is human activity that has caused this global warming. (选修6第4单元)
It引导的强调句,是英语中最常见、最常用的语言现象,也是英语学习中的重点和难点。在我们课本里面,强调句型可以说比比皆是。例如:
I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. (必修1 第1单元) 被强调的部分是一个原因状语从句。
不仅如此,在近几年的高考试题中,强调句亦频繁出现。例如: It wasn’t until nearly a month later ______ I received the manager’s reply. (2005 全国)
A. since B. when C. as D. that
(此题考查“not…until…”的强调句型,答案是D。由于被强调的部分是时间状语,命题者给了三个与时间有关的干扰选项。但不要忘记这是一个强调句型,选that没错。)
--- ______ that he managed to get the information? (2005山东) --- Oh, a friend of his helped him. A. Where was it B. What was it C. How was it D. Why was it
(此题考查的内容虽然是“方式”,而不是强调句本身,但这4个选项全都用了强调句型的特殊疑问式,无疑增加了理解的难度。句子的意思是:他究竟是怎样设法得到这消息的?答案是C。)
下面总结归纳it强调句型的用法及其注意要点。
强调句型的构成是:It is (was) + 被强调部分+ that (who) + 句子的其他成分。被强调的部分放在 It is (was) 之后,其它部分置于that之后。被强调部分可以是主语,宾语,表语或状语。强调的主语如果是人,可以由who代替that。如果把该句型结构还原,应该是一个完整无缺的句子。这也是判断强调句型与其它从句的一种方法。
1. 被强调的成分举例
原句:Tom found my pen in the classroom yesterday.
强调主语:It was Tom that found my pen in the classroom yesterday. 强调宾语:It was my pen that Tom found in the classroom yesterday. 强调地点状语:It was in the classroom that Tom found my pen yesterday.
强调时间状语:It was yesterday that Tom found my pen in the classroom.
2. 强调句型的一般疑问式
直接把is或was提到it之前即可。例如:
Was it Tom that found your pen in the classroom yesterday? Was it in 1939 that the Second World War broke out? 3. 强调句型的特殊疑问式
特殊疑问词+ is (was) it + that +句子的其他成分。特殊疑问词即是被强调的成分,例如:
Who was it that found your pen in the classroom yesterday? When was it that the Second World War broke out? 4. 用It is 还是It was?
我们可以根据原句时态来确定用It is 还是It was。如果原句时态属于现在时间范畴(包括一般现在时,现在进行式,现在完成时,一般将来时等),则用It is …;如果原句时态属于过去时间范畴(包括一般过去时,过去进行时,过去完成时,过去将来时等),则用It was … 例如:
What is it that you want me to do now? Was it John that broke the window this morning? 5. that (who) 有时可以省略
随着语言的发展,这种强调句型中的that或who有时可以省略。例如:
It was my brother (that/whom) you saw the other day. It was William (who) did it.
我们知道有这种省略现象而已,但尽量不要模仿,以免出错。 6. 并非所有的成分都可以强调
课本上讲,“可以对句子中除谓语动词以外的成分加以强调”,这
种说法是不准确的。除了谓语动词不可强调以外,并不是所有的表语和状语都可以强调。如,形容词作表语就不可以强调,表示程度和方式的单个副词也不能强调。例如:
* It is beautiful that Mary is.(应改为:Mary is really beautiful.) * It was hard that Tom worked.(应改为:Tom worked hard indeed.) 7. 强调原因状语从句要注意
若从句由as或since引导,强调时则改为because,这是因为,because引导的原因从句表示的意义非常强烈,符合强调句的目的。例如:
As she got up late, she missed the first bus. 变为: It was because she got up late that she missed the bus. 8. 强调句的否定转移
有些否定句在变成强调句时,要把否定转移到被强调的词语之前。尤其是“not… until…”句式的强调要特别注意。例如:
Money can’t buy everything. 变为: It is not everything that money can buy.
He didn’t realize his mistake until the teacher had told him. 变为: It wasn’t until the teacher had told him that he realized his mistake. 最后一句应注意,在强调句式中,虽然not被提前,但“not… until…”句型不要到装。不可说:*It wasn’t until the teacher had told him did he realize his mistake.
这是我找的感觉比较完整的一个,还要例题,希望对你有用

一.强调句的类型
1. 对谓语动词的强调
强调谓语动词时,用“do/does/did+动词原形”来表示,意为“确实,一定,肯定”。
如:Do be careful when crossing the street.
The train does move.
They did come to see you yesterday,but failed to meet you.
2. It强调句型
1) It强调句型的基本形式
It强调句型最基本的句式结构为:It be+被强调部分+that/who+句子
被强调部分是除谓语之外的其他句子成分,可以是单词、短语,也可以是从句;当强调人时,可以用who 或that;强调其他成分,则只能用that。
如:It is I who/that am right. (强调主语)
2) 对not...until...结构的强调
句型为:It is/ was not until+被强调部分+that+其他部分。
I didn't realize she was a famous film star until/till she took off her dark glasses.
→It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I realized she was a famous film star.
注意:强调句只用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。
3. 强调句的一般疑问句和特殊疑问句
(1) 强调句的一般疑问句的基本句型为:
Be+it+被强调部分+that/who+句子其他成分
如:Is it Professor Wang who teaches you English?
(2)强调句的特殊疑问句的基本句型为:
特殊疑问词+be+it+that/who/whom+句子其他成分
如:What is it that you want me to do?
注意:强调句的特殊疑问句用于名词性从句中,要用陈述语序。
I have no idea when it was that I lost my wallet.
4. 含有情态动词的强调句的疑问句结构
(1) 一般疑问句的基本强调句型为:
情态动词或助动词+it+be+被强调部分+that+句子其他成分
如:Might it be in the office that she left her keys?
(2)特殊疑问句的基本强调句型为:
特殊疑问词+情态动词或助动词+it+be+that+主语+句子
如:Where might it be that the accident happened?
5. 强调句型应注意的问题
(1) 谓语动词人称和数的一致性。
在强调句中,如果强调的是句子的主语,其后谓语动词应和被强调部分的人称和数保持一致。
如:It is Mary and Tom who often do good deeds.
(2) 强调时间、地点、原因、方式状语时,一律用that,不用when,where,why,how。
如:It was because he was ill that he was absent.
(3) 强调句型的反意疑问句,其问句部分用isn't/wasn't it。
如:It was yesterday that he met Li Ping,wasn't it?
(4) 当原因状语从句由as,since等引导时,强调原因状语应改as,since为because,即只能强调由because引导的原因状语从句。
如:It was because he didn't know much about English that he looked up the word in the dictionary.
