在英文中,句子的主语、宾语、状语都可以写进一定的句式里以表示对它的强调。
它们是:
1. It is / was + 被强调的部分 + that ( who, which ) + 句子的其他部分,
2. What … is / was …这种句式就称为强调句。
3. It is/was + 被强调的部分 + that(which) + 句子的其他部分
下面我们以句子为例来演示强调句的构成。如:
1)Western health-care system are spending
主语
huge sums of money on the surgical treatment
宾语 状语
of the disease.
西方国家医疗保健机构在心脏病的手术治疗上开支巨大。
强调主语
It is Western health-care system that are spending huge sums of money on
the surgical treatment of the disease.
正是西方国家医疗保健机构,在心脏病的手术治疗上开支巨大。
强调宾语
It is huge sums of money that Western health-care system are spending on
the surgical treatment of the disease.
西方国家医疗保健机构在心脏病的手术治疗上,开支确实是巨大的。
强调状语
It is on the surgical treatment of the disease that Western health-care
system are spending huge sums of money .
西方国家医疗保健机构,就是在心脏病的手术治疗上付出了巨大的开支。
2)谓语动词的强调
do / does / did +动词原形强调。
例如:
我的确相信他是老实人。
I do believe that he is an honest man.
她确实喜欢文学。
She does like literature.
他们昨天的确去看过你,但没见到你。
They did go to see you yesterday, but failed to meet you.
3)What … is / was …
“What … is / was
…”是名词从句结构,也是强调句的另一种构成形式。它常用来强调主语、宾语。如果所叙述的是现在或者将来发生的事情用”What is …
that…”的句式;如果所叙述的是过去发生的事情用”What was … that…”的句式。
例如:
What he wishes most is to become a pilot.(强调宾语)
他最希望的是成为一名飞行员。
What interested me most in that movie was the beautiful scenery of Alps.
(强调主语)
那部电影使我最感兴趣的是阿尔裨斯山那美丽的风景。
我喜欢的是她说话的风度。 (强调宾语)
What I like is her speaking manner.
给予我们鼓励的是他为我们树立的榜样。(强调主语)
