三、用句子來強調

A．句型強調

英語中最常見的強調手段，也是我們必須要掌握的方法就是句型強調，即：強調句型。It is / was + 被強調的部分 + that (who)…如：

(1) It was in the room that Li Lei was born. 李蕾出生就在這間房子。

(2) It is Wei Fang who has broken the record. 就是魏方打破了紀錄。

B．在使用強調句型時須注意的幾個問題：

(A) 原句子是現在時或將來時，強調句用It is + 被強調的部分 + that (who)…; 若原句子是過去時，強調句用：It was + 被強調的部分 + that (who)…

(1) Li Lei’s father will work in America. —It is in America that Li Lei’s father will work. 李蕾的父親的工作將就在美國。

(2) I studied at this school a few years ago. —It was at this school that I studied a few years ago. 幾年前我就在這所學校讀書。

(B) 即使被強調的部分是復數，It后面始終用單數形式。如(from www.hz123456.com)

(1) Tom and Lucy gave us much help. —It was Tom and Lucy that gave us much help. 正是湯姆和露西給了我們很多的幫助。

(2) I saw swans in the lake yesterday. —It was swans that I saw in the lake yesterday. 昨天我看到在湖里的就是天鵝。

(C) 強調人時，可用who 代替that, 但若強調時間、地點、原因、方式時，不能用when, where, why, how代替 that。如：

(1) It is our teacher who / that helps us make great progress. 正是我們的老師幫助我們取得了很大的進步。

(2) It is by bus that I go to school every day. 每天我就是乘公共汽車上學。

(D) 在強調not…until結構中的時間狀語時，應將not移到until前，再將not until部分移到被強調的位置。如：

I didn’t go to bed until twelve o’clock last night. — It was not until twelve o’clock last night that I went to bed. 昨天晚上我一直到十二點才睡。
