强调句

一、

强调句的基本结构及用法

强调句常用来突出说话人要强调的语言信息，给对方以强烈的印象和感受。译成汉语

时，常加上

“正是”等字眼。其基本结构是：

It + be
的适当形式

+
被强调成分

+ that (who) +
其他成分

He bought the book in this shop yesterday.

→
It was he that bought the book in this shop yesterday. (
强调主语
he)

→
It was the book that he bought in this shop yesterday. (
强调宾语
the book)

→
It was in this shop that he bought the book yesterday. (
强调地点状语
in this shop)

【注意】

1.
在该强调结构中，
It
无任何意义但不可以换成
this
或者
that
等。

It is (was)…that (who)…
为结构词，
假如去掉，
剩 下部分在语法结构和句子含义上均完整，这一点正是它和定
语从句等的本质区别。

2.
关于
that
与
who

当被强调部分指人时 ，可以用
who
（被强调部分的人作主语或宾语时）或者
whom
（被强调部 分的人作宾
语时
)
代替
that
；

当被强调部分 指物时通常用
that
；当被强调部分既包括人又包括物，用
that
不用< br>who.

It was the things and people that they remembered that they were talking abo ut
．

当被强调部分是代词时，用
who
不用
that
。

当强调时间或地点或原因状语时，不能用
when / where /why
代替< br>that(
尤其是当这些状语为介词短语时
)
。
