强调句就是: it is ....that(who)....的句型,强调it is 后面的内容,可以是人,可以是物,可以是时间、空间...,想要强调的内容放在it is 与that 之间就行了,如果拿掉it is 与that(who),句子仍成立,符合语法,只是缺了强调的意味。
我们在说话、写文章的过程中,为了要突出句子中的某一部分时,就常使用某种方法、手段使它突出,以便能引起他人的注意,这就是强调。
英语中,表示强调的方法一般分为三种:位置的强调;用词强调;句型强调。
what is it that + 其他
where is it that + 其他
How is it that + 其他
why is it that + 其他
when is it that + 其他
who is it that + 其他
例题讲解
It was _____back home after the experiment.
A not until midnight did he go
B until midnight that he didn't go
C not until midnight that he went
D until midnight when he didn't go
答案:C
英语的强调句型是:It is(was)...that...,现在用这一句型来强调until midnight这个时间状语,It was not until midnihgt that he went back home after the experiment.这里可以看出两点,一是否定被前置了,二是that之后的句子主谓并不倒装。这一切都是英语的习惯使然。答案A错的原因有两个,一是主谓倒装了,二是没了强调句型必不可少的that。

(2). 用重复来表示强调:

Only in this way,can we solve this problem.只有这样,我们才能解决这个问题。
