1、 一、 强调 句 (The Emphatic Pattern)是一种 修辞 ，是人们为了表达自己的 意愿 或 情感 而使用的一种 形式 。通过各种方式对句子中的某个部分进行 强调 ，从而起到 修辞 的作用。 英语常用的强调 结构 是 “It is (was)+被强调部分 (主语 、 宾语 或 状语 )+who (that).“。一般说来 ,被 强调 部分指人时 ,用 who;指事物时用 that,但 that 也可以指人。 强调句型 ，即 “It is/was被强调部分 that/who/whom+其它 ”句型之中。 使用 该句型有以下几点请注意： 1、 强调句的谓语 is 或 was 永远用
2、单数 . It was yesterday that I met your father in the street 2、不管被强调部分是哪种状语，只能用 that 连接，不得使用 where、 when 等连词 . It was in the street that I met your father yesterday 3、被强调部分为人时，可用 who(主格或宾格 )和 whom(宾格 )代替 that，用 that 也行。 1) It was your father that/whom /who I met in the street yesterday 2) It was I tha
3、t/who met your father in the street yesterday 4、强调句中 也要注意主谓一致、人称一致和否定转移的问题。 1) It is they who are our friends 2) It was not until ten oclock that we got home last night 5、注意不要混淆强调句和其 他从句。 It is was that 为强调句标志，去掉后仍可组成一个完整的句子，只是没被强调 ,而其他从句一般不具备这一特征。 比较： 1) It was ten oclock when we got home last nigh
4、t我们昨晚到家时已十点了。 2) It was at ten oclock that we got home last night我们昨晚是在十点到家的。 第一句不是强调句， when不可改为 that,因为去掉 it was和 that后，只能组成 “We got home ten oclock last night ”这样一个不完整的句子；第二句是强调句， that 不可改为 when 二、 其他句型 1. It issince 本句型主句中用时间作表语，一般用现在时或完成时， since 引导的从句常用瞬间动词的一般过去时态。主句如用一般过去时，则从句用过去完成时。 2. It iswh
5、en 本句型中的 when 引导的是一个时间状语从句，主句中的 it 指时间，表语由具体的时间充当。 3. It looks (seems) as if 本句型中的 as if 引导一个状语从句，常译为 “看起来好像 ” 。如果与事实不相符合，则用虚拟语气 例 1 It looks as if he is ill (真的病了 ) . 例 2 It looks as if he were ill (没有生病 ) . 三、综合练习 （一） 中英文互译 1、正是在大约 20 年前 Joe 成了家。 2、 I do love you.
