It+be.。.that(who) 。..这一强调结构,这种强调结构用来突出强调句子的某一部分。该结构中的it (the emphatic it),无词汇意义,只用于改变句子的结构,使某一部分得以被强调。要正确使用这一结构应注意以下十个方面的问题:
1. 这种强调结构除了不能强调动词外,其他成分如主语、宾语、宾补、状语都可以强调。
例如: It was my sister who first had the idea to cycle along the Mekong River from
where it begins to where it ends.(强调主语)
It was in Greece that Olympic competitions firstly started.(强调状语)
2. 被强调部分指人时用that,who均可,指事物或情况时用that(被强调的是时间或地点状语时一般不用when,where)。
例: It was because of bad weather that the football match bad to be put off.
It was last year at the Olympics that Liu Xiang got the medal for hurdling race.是去年在奥运会上刘翔赢得了跨栏金牌。
2. 被强调的代词格应与原句一致;被强调的部分如果是原句的主语,who(that)后的谓语在人称和数上应与原句的主语一致。
例: It is Zhang Ziyi that (who) stars the film Heroes. 是章子仪主演的《英雄》这部电影。
It is him that I want to visit. 我想见的是他。
3. 如果强调双宾语中的一个,不论是直接宾语还是间接宾语,根据动词的搭配关系,要加上一个介词to或for。
例:Mr. Green gave Mary a birthday present.→It was Mary that Mr. Green gave a birthday present to.
It was a birthday present that Mr. Green gave to Mary.
4. 如果原句是一般疑问句,强调结构用“be+it.。.that (who)。..?”形式;如果原句是特殊疑问句,则用“特殊疑问词+be+it.。.that(who) 。..?”形式。
Is it an the end of 2001 that China joined WTO?
是2001年底中国加入了世贸组织吗?
When was it that the tsunami struck the countries around the India Ocean? 是何时海啸袭击了印度洋沿岸各国?
5. 如果原句中含有“not.。.until”,在强调时间状语时,将主句中的否定词not连同状语一期提前。
例: I...
