點(diǎn)睛
it is...that...是常用的強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。它一般強(qiáng)調(diào)主語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)和狀語(yǔ)(以時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)和地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)為多),將被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分置于it is與that之間。如:
It is he that is right. 對(duì)的人是他。
考點(diǎn)歸納
關(guān)于強(qiáng)調(diào)句型的幾點(diǎn)補(bǔ)充:
1)如果被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分是人,該句型可以是it is...that...或者it is...who...。如:
It is Miss Gao who teaches us English. 教我們英語(yǔ)的是高女士。
2)如果被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分是人的賓語(yǔ)時(shí),也可以變?yōu)閕t is...whom...。如:
It is Jonathan whom Professor Lee praises all the time. 李教授經(jīng)常表?yè)P(yáng)的人是喬納森。
3)如果被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分是事物或事情的情況,則常用it is...that...。但是。如果被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分是時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)或地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ),就只能是it is...that...,而不能用it is...when...或者it is...where...。如:
It was a month ago that mum picked you up in front of the zoo. 媽媽在動(dòng)物園門(mén)口接你,那是一個(gè)月前的事了。
It was in the museum that Li Lei met your elder brother last week. 上星期,李磊是在博物館碰到你哥哥的。
短語(yǔ)set...apart from意為“使……與眾不同(或者優(yōu)于其他)”。如:
Her clear and elegant prose sets her apart from most other writers. 她的散文簡(jiǎn)練而優(yōu)美,多數(shù)作者都不及她。
與set有關(guān)的短語(yǔ)還有:
1) set off意為“使爆炸”。如:
Those fireworks could be set off by the slight spark. 一點(diǎn)小火星就可能讓煙花爆炸。
set off還可表示“出發(fā);啟程”。如:
We planned to set off at five in the morning. 我們計(jì)劃早上5點(diǎn)出發(fā)。
2) set up意為“建立,創(chuàng)立”。如:
A new government was set up after the war. 新政府于戰(zhàn)后成立。
3) set down意為“使下車(chē)”。如:
The bus stopped to set down an old lady. 公共汽車(chē)停下來(lái),讓一位老太太下車(chē)。
