（一）表示强调的方法 英语中，表示强调的方法一般分为三种：位置强调，用词强调，句型强调。 1. 位置强调 英语句子的语序一般为：主、谓、宾、表、状。有时为了强调某个成分，就故意将它移到句首或句末。 （1）强调主语及状语。 I was reading English this morning. → This morning, I was reading English. 今天早晨，我一直在读英语。 （2）强调谓语(as、though引导的让步状语从句) 。 ①Though he will try, he can’t succeed. → Try as / though he will, he can’t succeed. 尽管他会尝试，但他不会成功。 ②Though she can sing, she can’t sing well. →Sing though / as she can, she can’t sing well. 尽管她会唱，但唱得不好。 （3）强调宾语或表语(as、though引导的让步状语从句) ① Though he learnt English, he didn’t learn it well. → English as / though he learnt, he didn’tlearn it well. 尽管他学过英语，但他学得并不好。 ②Though he is ill, he keeps on working. → Ill as / though he is, he keeps on working. 尽管他有病，但他仍坚持工作。
2. 用词强调 英语中强调的另一种方法，就是用不同的词进行夸张从而达到强调的目的。用词强调主要有以下几种形式。 （1）在句子中的谓语动词前加助动词do，对谓语进行强调。对一般现在时及一般过去时中的谓语动词用助动词do/does/did+动词原形进行强调。 ①Do come this evening.今晚一定来。 ②Tom does study hard now. 汤姆现在学习真的很努力。 （2）用awfully、badly、dead、deeply、ever、extremely、highly、indeed、lightly、not…at all、particularly、pretty、really、so、strongly、terribly、utterly、very、very much等副词修饰以加强语气。 ①He wants to get it very much. 他非常想得到它。 ②I miss you terribly. 我非常思念你。 （3）用短语： at all、on earth、in the world、under the sun等表示强调，意思是“到底，究竟，根本”。 ①I don’t know it at all. 我一点也不知道。 ②What on earth are you doing there? 你到底在那干什么？ （4）用重复某一个词或短语来强调。 ① He thought and thought, and suddenly he got a good idea. 他想了又想，突然想到了一个好主意。 ② He ran and ran, and at last he caught up with other students. 他跑啊跑啊，终于赶上了其他的同学们。 （5） 感叹词表示强调：what /how 省略主谓，注意语序。 What a life! 多棒的生活啊！
3. 句型强调 要强调句子的某一部分（通常是主语、状语、宾语），可以把it当作先行词。这种句子的结构是“It is / was + 被强调部分 + that / who + 句子的其余部分”。如果强调的部分是人，可用who代替that。如： I met Tom in the street yesterday. 我昨天在街上遇到汤姆。 It was I who met Tom in the street yesterday. (强调主语) It was Tom that I met in the street yesterday. (强调宾语) It was in the street that (不用where) I met Tom yesterday. (强调地点状语) It was yesterday that (不用when) I met Tom in the street. (强调时间状语) 【注】句型强调的注意点 （1）时态的运用 强调句中的时态要依原句的时态来确定。即原句为过去的某种时态，则强调句中的be动词就用过去时；若原句为现在的某种时态，强调句就用be的现在时态。如： It was because I was caught in the traffic that I came late. (was与came时态保持一致) It is Tom who loves football most. (is与loves时态保持一致) （2）人称和数的运用 被强调的部分如果是句子的主语，that / who之后的谓语动词在人称和数上应与句子的主语保持一致。如：It is I that / who am your friend that will come to help you.
