強調句

　　在英文中，句子的主語、賓語、狀語都可以寫進一定的句式里以表示對它的強調。

　　它們是:

　　1. It is / was + 被強調的部分 + that ( who, which ) + 句子的其他部分,

　　2. What … is / was …這種句式就稱為強調句。

　　1. It is/was + 被強調的部分 + that(which) + 句子的其他部分

　　下面我們以兩個句子為例來演示強調句的構成。如：

　　1）Western health-care system  are spending

　　主語

　　huge sums of money  on the surgical treatment

　　賓語                            狀語

　　of the disease.

　　西方國家醫療保健機構在心臟病的手術治療上開支巨大。

　　強調主語

　　It is Western health-care system that are spending huge sums of money on the surgical treatment of the disease.

　　正是西方國家醫療保健機構，在心臟病的手術治療上開支巨大。

　　強調賓語

　　It is huge sums of money that Western health-care system are spending on the surgical treatment of the disease.

　　西方國家醫療保健機構在心臟病的手術治療上，開支確實是巨大的。

　　強調狀語

　　It is on the surgical treatment of the disease that Western health-care system are spending huge sums of money .

　　西方國家醫療保健機構，就是在心臟病的手術治療上付出了巨大的開支。

　　2）謂語動詞的強調

　　do / does / did +動詞原形強調。

　　例如：

　　我的確相信他是老實人。

　　I do believe that he is an honest man.

　　她確實喜歡文學。

　　She does like literature.

　　他們昨天的確去看過你，但沒見到你。

　　They did go to see you yesterday, but failed to meet you.

　　4）What … is / was …

　　"What … is / was …"是名詞從句結構，也是強調句的另一種構成形式。它常用來強調主語、賓語。如果所敘述的是現在或者將來發生的事情用"What is … that…"的句式；如果所敘述的是過去發生的事情用"What was … that…"的句式。

　　例如：

　　What he wishes most is to become a pilot.（強調賓語）

　　他最希望的是成為一名飛行員。

　　What interested me most in that movie was the beautiful scenery of Alps. （強調主語）

　　那部電影使我最感興趣的是阿爾裨斯山那美麗的風景。
