一、強調句
強調句是一種修辭,下麵簡單歸納它的幾種結構:
1.用助動詞“do(does/did)+動詞原形”來表示強調:
Do write to me when you get there.到那兒時一定要給我寫信。
2.用形容詞very,only,single,such等修飾名詞或形容詞來加強語氣:
You are the only person here who can speak Chinese.你是這裏唯一一個會說漢語的人。
How dare you buy such expensive jewels?你怎麽敢買這麽貴重的珠寶?
3.用ever,never,very,just等副詞和badly,highly,really等帶有-ly 的副詞來進行強調:
Why ever did you do so?你究竟為什麽要這麽做?
He never said a word the whole day.一整天,他一句話也沒說。
4.用in the world,on earth,at all等介詞短語可以表達更強的語氣(常用於疑問句):
Where in the world could he be?他到底會在哪兒?
Do you know at all?你到底知不知道?
5.用感歎句來表示強烈的感情:
How interesting a story it is!這是一個多麽有趣的故事啊!
6.用重複來表示強調:
They walked for miles and miles.他們走了好多英裏。
7.用倒裝句來加強語氣:
On the table were some flowers.桌上擺著一些花。(強調地點)
Only in this way,can we solve this problem.
隻有這樣,我們才能解決這個問題。
8.用強調句型:
“It is(was)+被強調的部分+that(who)+原句其他部分”來強調說話人的意願:此結構強調的成分僅限於主語、賓語和狀語。如:
Mary met an old beggar in the street yesterday.
瑪麗昨天在街上碰到一個老乞丐。
It was Mary who/that met an old beggar in the street yesterday.(強調主語)
It was an old beggar whom/that Mary met in the street yesterday.(強調賓語)
It was yesterday that Mary met an old beggar in the street.(強調地點狀語)
