强调是语言表达的一种方式，是表达语意和激情的重要门路。所以强调构造是英语浏览了解当中常见的表达手法。

最常见到的强调句构造是It is/was that句型，即把要关注的信息放置正在It is/was 和that;之间，根柢形成形式是:It is/was +被强调的局部+ that +句子其余成分；当强调某 人时，还可用who与代that。

其素量特征是：

It is/was that是一个牢固的框架，可以框正在所须要强调的句式构造中，所以此句型自身正在所处的表达构造里其真不做任何的句子成分，即假如把It is/ was that/who从所处的句 子构造中撤掉，所剩的句子表达依然是完好的；被强调的对象或成分是活络多变的，可以是主 语、宾语、表语和状语等。

譬喻：

It was Ted who/that broke the news to me.(强调主语）

【译文】是泰德走漏给我那个音讯的。

It was this article that they talked about last week.(强调宾语）

【译文】他们上周议论的便是那篇文章。

It was the president of the committee that we elected her.(强调宾语补足语）

【译文】咱们选举她当的是委员会主席。

Perhaps it‘s because he’s a misfit that I get along with him.(强调起因状语）

【译文】兴许正是因为他是个不融合的人我才取他相处不错。

It was from Francis that she first heard the news.(强调地点状语）

【译文】她先是从弗朗西斯这里听到音讯的。

It was not until she spoke to her husband that she agreed to take the offer.(强调光阳状语）

【译文】曲到她跟丈夫说了才赞成承受那份丁做。

注：状语成分正在被强调的诸多成分中占据非凡的职位中央，正在浏览了解和长难句翻译中也是更需关注的。另外，读者会发现:上述各例句中的强调句型（划线局部)做为一牢固框架，假如从 所处的句子表达中撤掉，所剩的句子构造依然是完好的。

最后，须要揭示各人，有时正在非正式英语的浏览文章中，可以用which/when/where与代that来强调某物、某时和某地(了解便可）。

譬喻：

It is the bank that/which will lose，not the customer.

【译文】受丧失的将不是储户，而是银止。

It is the theatre at OVford that/which is on the ZZZerge of eVtinction，not at Cambridge

【译文】正亲近消亡的是牛津大学的讲堂而不是剑桥大学的讲堂。

领略难句

【译文】正是电室机的用途决议了它对社会的价值。 

【注释】put sth. to use将付诸真用

【译文】便是从史蒂芬这里她第一次风闻了这位被称为专家的人。

More often it is the President，and not the members of his cabinet，who appeals to the populace.

【译文】正是年轻时所遭到的训练，使得他成了一名良好的工程师。

It is when the control (oZZZer immediate enZZZironment) is threatened，or ZZZiolated in some way by other road users that anger and rage result.

【译文】当其余的路线运用者通过某种方式威逼或进犯到眼前的环境控制时，仇恨，以至暴怒，就会油然而生。

【注释】 It is when the control (oZZZer immediate enZZZironment) is threatened，or ZZZiolated in some way by other road users that anger and rage result.

此句强调的是 when 引导的光阳状语从句，主语是anger and rage，谓语动词是result;正在光阳状语从句中括号中的oZZZer短语是 control的后置定语，in some way和by other road users划分是方式状语和止动发出者。

【译文】毕竟后果是什么使得咱们正在坐到标的目的盘背面的时候会对其余人变得如今生气？

【注释】 What is it that causes us to get so angry with other people//when we are sitting behind the wheel of our car?第一段是句子主干，给取强调构造，强调的成分是主语 What，谓语动词是causes，宾语是us，不定式短语to get so angry with...做宾语补足语;第二 段是when引导的光阳状语从句，默示主句谓语止动发作的光阳。

【译文】当我试图理解毕竟后果是什么使得如此多的美国人不像想象中这么幸福的时候，仿佛可以找到两个起因。

【注释】 When I try to understand(what it is that preZZZents so many Americans from being as happy as one eVpects)，//it seems to me that there are two causes.

此句的第二段是句子主干，构造给取牢固句型it seems tha形式；第一段是when引导的光阳状语从句，此中：I是主语，谓语是try to understand，宾语长短凡疑问词what引导的名词性从句（即宾语从句）；值得关注的是，此宾语从句给取强调句式，疑问代词what是被强调的从句主语，从句谓 语是 preZZZents。
