一、内容纲要

二、内容简述

（一）定义

通过各种方式对句子中的某个成分进行强调，并且起到特定的修辞效果，这种句子就叫做强调句。

较常使用的强调句是：It is/was...that...，我们常说的强调句型一般就是指这个强调句。该句型几乎可以用来强调除谓语动词以外的任何其他成分。

谓语动词一般可以通过助动词do/does/did来强调。

（二）It is/was...that...

需要注意的是，当所强调的成分表人时，that可以用who替换。如：

原句：The little boy ate an apple greedily in the kitchen just now.

强调主语：It was the little boy that/who ate an apple greedily in the kitchen just now.

强调宾语：It was an apple that the little boy ate greedily in the kitchen just now.

强调方式状语：It was greedily that the little boy ate an apple in the kitchen just now.

强调地点状语：It was in the kitchen that the little boy ate an apple greedily just now.

强调时间状语：It was just now that the little boy ate an apple greedily in the kitchen.

【注意】

该强调句还可以用来强调从句，如：It was because the trip was very dangerous that he refused to fly the businessman to the lonely island.

（三）do/does/did

强调谓语动词时，一般是通过“do/does/did+动词原形”来实现。如：

原句1：They get up early every morning.

强调句1：They do get up early every morning.

原句2：She often reads in the library on weekends.

强调句2：She does often read in the library on weekends.

原句3：My father went to Paris last week.

强调句3：My father did go to Paris last week.

（四）其他强调手段

双重否定：Cats never fail to fascinate human beings. （猫总是让人类着迷。）

比较级的否定结构：I can't agree with her more.（我完全同意她的观点。）

very/only/never/little/seldom等形容词或副词或介词短语等：He is the very person you are looking for. / Little does he know anything about her. / I did not write a single card. / What on earth is he talking about? / I don't like chicken at all.

感叹句：What an interesting girl she is! / How interesting the girl is!
