強(qiáng)調(diào)句 It is /was +被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分+ that /who…非常重要,也是高考熱點。強(qiáng)調(diào)人,用that /who皆可;強(qiáng)調(diào)物只用that;強(qiáng)調(diào)時間、地點、原因,不用when /where /why代替that。下面講解其用法及難點。
1. 強(qiáng)調(diào)主語及主語從句
(1)It is you rather than I that /who are wrong.
(2)It is I rather than you that /who am wrong.
(3)It is what you do that matters.
強(qiáng)調(diào)主語時,強(qiáng)調(diào)句要和被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分保持?jǐn)?shù)的一致,如句(1)中are ,句(2)中am,句(3)中matters.
2. 強(qiáng)調(diào)賓語及賓語從句
(4)It is him that I like.
(5)It was what he said that I was proud of.
3. 強(qiáng)調(diào)狀語及狀語從句
(6)It was because he was ill that he did not go to school.
如強(qiáng)調(diào)原因狀語從句,只強(qiáng)調(diào)because引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句。因為since /as引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句語氣就不重,所以不必強(qiáng)調(diào);也不用why代替that.
(7)It was not until he came back that I went to bed.
(8)It was yesterday that we met him.
(9)It was in the room that I met him.
另外,強(qiáng)調(diào)時間/地點時,不能用when /where代替that;強(qiáng)調(diào)時間副詞,前后時態(tài)要一致。
4. 強(qiáng)調(diào)句的判定
(10)It was at 6:00 that we got up.
(11)It was 6:00 when we got up.
(12)It was in the room that he did the work.
(13)It was the room where he did the work.
如果去掉it is /was…that原句成立,則為強(qiáng)調(diào)句,如句(10)、(12)。而句(11)、(13)不是強(qiáng)調(diào)句。
(14)— Where did you meet him?
— It was in the factory where he worked.
本句如填that,則答非所問。它相當(dāng)于It was in the factory where he worked that I met him.的省略。
5. 強(qiáng)調(diào)句用于賓語從句和主語從句中。
(15)I know where it is that he plays.
(16)It does not matter what it is that you like.
6. 強(qiáng)調(diào)句中that可省略。
(17)I know who it is he likes.
本句是強(qiáng)調(diào)句用于賓語從句中,is后that省略。對于初學(xué)者,that最好不省略。英語原版小說中that省略很普遍,語言更簡練。
7. 強(qiáng)調(diào)句中that的成分功能分析。
(18)It is him that you like.
強(qiáng)調(diào)什么,that就作什么成分,如句(18)中 that 作like的賓語。
8. 強(qiáng)調(diào)句中插入情態(tài)動詞,構(gòu)成It might be…that…; It must have been…that…; It can be…that…等變體。
(19)It might be Tom that you are thinking of.
(20)It must have been Smith that you met last week.
(21)It can be the work that makes you tired.
9. 強(qiáng)調(diào)句特殊疑問句,疑問詞提前即可。
(22)Why was it that he did not go there?
10. 強(qiáng)調(diào)句It is /was…that…和It is /was +時間+ since… ;It was +時間+ before…;It is /was +時間+ when…對比。
(23)It was three years ago that we began to learn English.
(24)It is three years since we began to learn English.
(25)It was three years since we had begun to learn English.
(26)It was three days before he came back.
(27)It was three days later that he came back.
(28)It was at midnight that we went there.
(29)It was midnight when /before we went there.
