第1講 強調
強調:
強調是一種修辭方式,如前面所說的"倒裝"就是一種重要的強調手段。
此外,還可以借助助詞進行強調,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…"強調句, 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,組成強調句,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。)
強調主語:It was John who (或that)bought a toy train for his son yesterday.
強調賓語:It was a toy train that John bought for his son yesterday.
強調賓語(或目的):It was for his son that John bought a toy train yesterday.
強調時間狀語:It was yesterday that John bought a toy train for his son .
學習強調句要注意以下兩點:
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世紀初,這一事件的意義才為公眾所認識。——強調句)
強調句與主語從句的簡單區分是:強調句去掉"it is…that…",句子結構依然正確,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。
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
看到這個題目,考生第一個反應是"強調句",很快選擇了A,但是再仔細讀一下,句子后面已經有"that",說明這個題目的考點不在"強調句"上,而是考"定語從句"的"關系副詞"when, 故正確答案是B,A稱為"干擾項".
