人们在表达思想时, 有时候需要强调一个句子中的某个成分,以引起听话人的重视。英语中有好几种手段用于表达强调目的, 常见的形式有以下几种: 1. 用强调句型“It is / was + 被强调部分 + that / who...”来强调除谓语以外的各种成分。 (1) 强调主语: It was Mr. Wang that / who told me the secret. 正是王先生告诉了我这个秘密。 (2) 强调宾语: It was my sister that / whom I gave that ballpen. 我把那支圆珠笔就给了我妹妹。 (3) 强调时间状语: It was yesterday that I saw him in the street. 就是在昨天我在街上看到他。 (4) 强调地点状语: It was in this room that he was born. 他出生的地方就是这个房间。 (5) 强调原因状语: It was because she was ill that she didn’t go to school. 正是因为生病她没有去上学。 (6) 强调方式状语: It was in this way that he worked out the problem. 正是用这种方法他才算出这道题的。 2. 在动词前加上助动词do / does / did, 用来强调句中的谓语动词。 He did come to the office yesterday. 昨天他的确来过办公室。 Do tell me the truth now. 一定要把事实真相告诉我。 3. 改变正常的语序, 用倒装形式把需要强调的成分提到句首或移至句末, 以“一反常态”的办法来达到强调的目的。 Never have I seen such a pretty doll. 我从来没见过这么漂亮的洋娃娃。 Hardly could I make out what she meant. 我完全弄不明白她的意思。 Little could the doctor do for the patient. 医生对这个病人已无能为力了。 In came her mother, with tears in her eyes. 进来的是她的母亲, 泪流满面。 Attentively he listened to the speech. 他聚精会神地听那个发言。 4. 把某些需要强调的词重复一下, 使语气更强。 Her uncle is a very, very kind man. 她的叔叔是个非常非常好心的人。 Long, long ago, there was a king who loved gold better than anything else. 很久很久以前, 有个国王, 他爱金子胜过其它任何东西。 Millions upon millions of people have visited the exhibition. 千百万人已参观过这个展览会。 He tried again and again. 他试了一次又一次。 This went on and on for many years. 这件事一直持续了好多年。 5. 在句子中添加某些表示强调的词语。 He himself saw the boy pick fruit in the tree. 他亲眼看到这男孩摘树上的果子。 The teacher is right in the classroom. 老师就在教室里。 This is just the book I want to borrow. 这正好是我要借的那本书。 Dick is no more than a fool. 迪克只不过是个傻子。 What on earth did they want? 他们究竟要什么?
