人们在交际过程中,为了使自己的思想能为别人恰当的理解,往往突出重要的内容,这种突出重要内容的行为就是强调。1什么是强调?2.强调的手段可以通过语音手段、词汇手段、语法手段来进行强调。(1)语音手段人们可以通过语句重音来进行强调。HespeaksEnglishwell.这句话,可以通过语句重音来分别对不同的词进行强调A:Weneedagoodstudenttohosttheeveningparty.B:Well,hespeaksEnglishwell.A:He’sbeenlivinginCanadaforyears.B:HespeaksEnglishwellbuthiswritingisnotverygood.Example:A:HespeaksfluentFrench.B:HespeaksEnglishwell,too.A:Doyouthinkheisfitforthejob?B:Certainly.HespeaksEnglishwell.(2)词汇手段人们常用一些形容词、副词、否定词等词汇手段来加强语气。ThisisamostinterestingTVplay.Graceistall,butCatherineisstilltaller.She'snotintheleastangrywithme.Warandpeaceisthebestnovelthatlhaveeverread.Thelastthingthatalazystudentwishesisexamination.Atthatverymomentthepolicemencame.Ican'tevenrememberthenameofthatoldfriendofmine.Whatonearthareyoudoing?(3)语法手段1用Itis/was…that/who…句型表示强调。被强调的部分(不能是谓语)放在is/was的后面,如被强调的是人,则后面可用who/that;如被强调的是物,则后面只能用that。Hemetanoldfriendintheparkyesterday.强调主语Itwashewho/thatmetanoldfriendintheparkyesterday.强调宾语Itwasanoldfriendthat/whohemetintheparkyesterday.Hemetanoldfriendintheparkyesterday.Itwasintheparkthathemetanoldfriendyesterday.强调地点状语强调时间状语Itwasyesterdaythathemetanoldfriendinhepark.关于Itis/was…that…这个强调句型,如果把“Itis(was)...that”去掉,还应该是个完整的句子,不缺任何成分。由as,since引导的原因状语从句(通常是已知信息,不需强调)或though,although引导的让步状语从句一般不做被强调部分。区分下例两句:Itwas7o’clockwhenhecameback.Itwasat7o’clockthathecameback.他回来时7点钟了.他是7点钟回来的。注意not...until强调句型Comparethefollowing:Shedidn'trememberherappointmentwiththedoctoruntilshehadarrivedhome.Itwasnotuntilshehadarrivedhomethatsherememberedherappointmentwiththedoctor.Notuntilshehadarrivedhomedidsherememberherappointmentwiththedoctor.如果强调的是特殊疑问词,要用“特殊疑问词+is/was+it+that+…”结构。Whowasitthatyouwanttosee?Wherewasitthatyousawtheteacher?Whyisitthatyouwanttochangeyourmind?你究竟为什么要改变主意?2用助动词do,does或did来强调谓语动词。Docomeearly.Hedidsendyoualetterlastweek.We’repleasedthatshedoesintendtocome.3.还可以通过颠倒语序来进行强调。NeverwillChinabethefirsttousenuclearweapons.Example:Onlyinthiswaycanwecatchupwithandsurpasstheworld'sadvancedlevelofscienceandtechnology.Exercises:1.It_____MikeandMarywhohelpedtheoldmanseveraldaysago.A.wasB.areC.wereD.hadbeenI.Fillintheblanks2.Itwasnotuntil1920_____regularradiobroadcastsbegan.A.whichB.whenC.thatD.since3.Shesaidshewouldgoandshe________go.A.didn’tB.didC.reallyD.would4.Itwasthetraining_____hehadasayoungman_____madehimsuchagoodengineer.A.what;thatB.that;whatC.that;whichD.which;that5.---Wereallthreepeopleinthecarinjuredintheaccident?---No,______onlythetwopassengerswhogothurt.A.therewereB.itwereC.therewasD.itwas
