为爱浪漫1

已采纳

强调句的十种结构:

1.用助动词“do(does/did)+动词原形”来表示强调:

Do write to me when you get there.你到那儿后务必给我来信。

2.用形容词very,only,single,such等修饰名词或形容词来加强语气:

How dare you buy such expensive jewels?你怎么敢买这么贵的宝石呢?

3.用ever,never,very,just等副词和badly,highly,really等带有-l y的副词来进行强调:

I really don’t know what to do next.我的确不知道下一步该怎么做。

4.用in the world,on earth,at all等介词短语可以表达更强的语气(常用于疑问句):

Where in the world could he be?他到底会在哪儿?

5.用感叹句来表示强烈的感情,突出说话人的情感:

How interesting a story it is!这是一个多么有趣的故事啊!

6.用重复来表示强调:

Why!why!The cage is empty!啊!啊!箱子是空的。

7.用倒装句(也就是将要强调的句子或被强调的部分置于句首)来加强语气:

On the table were some flowers.桌上摆着一些花。(强调地点)

8.用强调句型:“It is(was)+被强调的部分+that(who)+原句其它部分”来强调说话人的意愿:

It was on Monday night that all this happened.所有这一切发生在周一晚上。

9.用If来表示强调:

1)If从句+I don’t know who/what,etc.does/is/has,etc.

主语部分也可以用nobody does/is/has,etc.或everybody does/is/has,et c.来代替(这里的if从句往往是正话反说,反话正说):

If he can’t do it,I don’t know who can.要是他做不了这件事,我不知道还有谁能做。(强调只有他能做) If Jim is a coward,everybody is.要是吉姆是个胆小鬼,那么人人都是胆小鬼。(强调吉姆不是胆小鬼)

2)if从句+it be主句(此用法可看成是第8中强调句型的变形,即把所要强调的内容放在it be的后面,把其它内容放在由if引导的从句中):

If anyone knew the truth,it was Tom.如果说谁了解事实的真相,那便是汤姆。

10.用破折号、黑体字也可以表示强调,加强语气:

It’s because of hard work—ten years of hard work.那是因为艰苦的工作--十年艰苦的工作!

He began the work in late May.他在五月底开始的这项工作。(强调时间)

英语语法倒装句知识点:让步状语从句倒装用法系统归纳

有这样一道考题:

_________, he talks a lot about his favorite singers after class.

A. A quiet student as he may be B. Quiet student as he may be

C. Be a quiet student as he may D. Quiet as he may be a student

这道题很有一定难度。具体说来,它主要涉及两个考点:一是让步状语从句倒装后的词序问题。让步状语从句之所以要采用倒装结构,主要是为了强调位于句首的名词、形容词、副词、动词等,其词序形式为:被强调的成分+as / though + 主语+动词。二是在倒装的`让步状语从句中,位于句首的单数可数名词是否带冠词的问题。按照英语习惯,英语中的单数可数名词在泛指时,一般要有不定冠词的修饰,但是位于倒装让步状语从句句首的单数可数名词是个例外,即使泛指其前也不加不定冠词。由此可知,上面这道考题的答案应为B。

为了帮助大家全面掌握让步状语从句的倒装用法,本文将这类语法现象归纳为以下五种句型:

一、名词+as / though+主语+动词

King as he was, he was unhappy. 他虽是国王,但他并不幸福。

Child as he is, he knows to help other. 他虽是个孩子,但却知道帮助别人。

Teacher though he is, he can’t know everything. 他虽然是老师,但也不可能什么都懂。

【说明】 其中的动词通常为连系动词,也就是说位于句首的名词是其后连系动词的表语。另外,要特别注意位于句首的名词前习惯上不用冠词,即使其前有形容词修饰也不用冠词。比较:

Boy as [though] he is, he likes to play with girls.=Though [Although] he is a boy, he likes to play with girls. 他虽是男孩,却喜欢与女孩子玩。

Strong man as [though] he is, General Botha has been severely put to the test during the past few weeks.= Though [Although] he is a strong man, General Botha has been severely put to the test during the past few weeks. 波赛将军虽然坚强,但在过去的数周里也受到了严峻的考验。

二、形容词+as / though+主语+动词

Successful as he is, he is not proud. 他虽然成功,但不骄傲。

Improbable as it seems, it’s true. 虽然看起来不太可能,但却是真的。

Stupid as it sounds,I was so in love with her that I believed her. 尽管听起来很愚蠢,我是如此爱她竟然相信了她的话。

Patient as he was,he didn’t like waiting that long. 他虽说有耐心,也不愿等这么长。

Beautiful though the necklace was,we thought it was over-priced. 那条项链虽然很漂亮,我们认为价钱太高。

【说明】 其中的动词也通常为连系动词,也就是说位于句首的形容词是其后连系动词的表语。

三、副词+as / though+主语+动词

Much as I like Paris, I couldn’t live there. 尽管我喜欢巴黎,但我不能住在那里。

Hard though they tried, they couldn’t make her change her mind. 尽管他们做了很大努力,却没法让她改变主意。

Fast as you read, you can’t finish the book in two days. 尽管你读得很快,你总不能在两天之内就读完这本书。

He was unable to make much progress, hard as he tried. 尽管他做了努力,却未能取得很大进步。

Heavily as it is raining, the football game has been decided not to be put off. 尽管雨下得很大,但还是决定不推迟足球比赛。

【说明】 有的词典将much as 作为习语看待,认为它是一个用以引导让步状语从句的复合连词。再如:

Much as I admire him as a writer,I do not like him as a man. 他作为一名作家我很佩服他,但我却不喜欢他这个人。

Much as I like you, I couldn’t live with you. 我尽管很喜欢你, 却不能和你在一起生活。

四、动词原形+as / though+主语+动词

Object as you may, I’ll go. 纵使你反对,我也要去。

Try as he might, he couldn’t solve the problem. 尽管他想方设法,却未解决这个问题。

Search as they would, they would find nobody in the house. 无论怎样搜查,他们在房子里仍然没有找到一个人。

Dislike him as we may, we must acknowledge his greatness. 尽管我们不喜欢他,但必须承认他的伟大。

Lose money as I did, we got a lot of experience. 钱虽然丢了,我们却得到了许多经验。

Fail in the election as he did, he became famous for his fiery speech against slavery. 尽管落选了,但他却以其反对奴隶制的激烈演说而出了名。

【说明】 主语后的动词通常为may, might, would, did 等情态动词或助动词(若表示情态意义,则选用情态动词;若陈述事实,则用did, do 等助动词)。

五、分词+as / though+主语+动词

Raining hard as it is, I’m going out for a walk. 虽然正在下着大雨,我还是要出去散步。

Surrounded as we were by the enemy, we managed to march forward. 虽然我们被敌人包围着,但我们还是设法前进了。

Munching the apple as he was, he had got an eye for all John’s movements. 他尽管在一个劲地嚼着苹果,但仍警惕着约翰的一举一动。

【三条补充说明】

1. 这类倒装的让步状语从句可用as, though 来引导,但不能用although来引导;但是,未倒装的让步状语从句则可用though, although来引导,而不能用as来引导。也就是说,although引导让步状语从句时不能倒装,as引导让步状语从句时必须倒装,而though引导让步状语从句时可以倒装也可以不倒装。如:

虽然很晚了,但我们还是继续工作。

正:Late as [though] it was, we still went on working.

正:Though [Although] it was late, we still went on working.

误:Late although it was, we still went on working.

误:As it was late, we still went on working.

2. 上面提到的倒装结构有时也可用来表示原因,区别的办法主要看句子的内容:让步从句的内容大多数与主句在意义上相反,而原因从句则与主句之间有因果关系。比较:

Tired as he was, he sat up late studying at night. 昨晚他虽然很疲倦了,但还是学习到很晚才睡。(表让步)

Tired as he was, he went to bed early. 因为很累,所以他睡得很早。(表原因)

Young as he was, he was equal to the task. 他虽年轻,却能胜任这项工作。(表让步)

Young as he was, he was not equal to the task. 他因为年轻,所以不能胜任这项工作。(表原因)

3. 在美国英语中,人们通常用as…as引导让步状语从句。如:

Cold as it was, we went out.=As cold as it was, we went out. 尽管天气冷,我们还是出去了。

Successful as he is, he is not proud.=As successful as he is, he is not proud. 他虽成功了,但不骄傲。

英语语法倒装句知识点:“only+状语”置于句首句子要倒装

请看下面一道涉及only的倒装试题:

Only in this way __________ able to finish the work in time.

A. can you be B. are you C. you can be D. you are

此题应选 B。容易误选D。至于A,C,这比较容易排除,因为情态动词 can 不能与 be able to用在同一谓语中。本题之所以要选B而不选D,主要是因为句首用了only in thisway 的缘故,按照英语语法规则:“only+状语”位于句首,句子通常要用倒装语序(部分倒装——用一般疑问句形式)。如:

1. “only 副词”位于句首。 如:

Only then did I realize that I was wrong. 只是到了那时我才意识到是我错了。

2. “only+介词短语”位于句首。 如:

Only by working hard can you succeed. 只有努力工作你才能成功。

Only in the reading-room can you find him. 你只有在阅览室才能找到他。

3. “only+状语从句”位于句首。 如:

Only when one loses freedom does one know itsvalue. 一个人只有在失去自由后才知道自由的可贵。

注意:若位于句首的不是only+状语,而是 only+宾语等,则通常无需倒装(但有时也可以倒装)。如:

Only a policeman the children saw in the street. 孩子们在街上只看到一个警察。

Only one more point will I make. 我只再说明一点。

What an interesting story it is! (这是个)多么有趣的故事啊!

What fine weather it is! 多好的天气啊!

Searching D. Having searched解析:答案A。此题考查祈使句+and+简单句。祈使句+and+简单句, 相当于if引导的条件状语从句。31.China has already sent up three spacecraft, the most recent at the end of last March. A. has been launched B. having been launched C. being launched D. to be launched解析:答案B。此题考查独立主格结构。句中没有连接词, 故不能选作谓语动词的A项;the most recent having been launched为独立主格结构, 由at the end of last March可知应选用表示动作完成的B项。32.

So you did B. So I do not C. So did you D. So do I解析:答案A。本题考查 “so+助动词+主语”与 “so+主语+助动词”的意义区别。so+与前句相同的主语+助动词, 表示赞同, 意为 “确实”。38. to cure the terrible disease, the patient turn to her doctor for help to end his life. A. Having given hope B. With no hope C. There being hope D. In the hope解析:答案B。本题考查with结构(独立主格结构)。根据句意和结构, 显然其余三项不符合。39. in sea trial(航母试航) that he decided to watch TV instead of doing his homework. A.

一、强调式 英语谚语结构紧凑,富于表达力。强调句式因其重点明确的特点,被英语谚语广泛采用。根据表意需要,被强调的成分很灵活。 (一)普通强调式 1 倒装结构强调式 倒装结构强调式的运用充分体现了英语谚语结构匀称、重点鲜明的特点。英语谚语中的倒装结构常常是将需强调部分前置,使之受到特殊强调。不仅能突出语义重点,还能起到平衡句子结构、避免头重脚轻的作用。例如: (1)In wine there is truth. 酒后吐真言。 (2)Happy is he who owns nothing. 无债一身轻。 上述例子中,例(1)强调状语;例(2)中强调表语,使句子结构平衡,重点语义突出。 2 一般"IT"强调式 这类句子通常以句型"It is(was)+被强调部分+that/who+�6�8"为载体,突出句子的主体部分。在英语谚语中,一般强调部分为主语。这类强调句简单易懂,不会引起任何歧义。例如: (3)It is a sad heart that never rejoices. 不知世间有乐事最可悲。 (4)It is a foolish sheep that makes the wolf his confessor. 让狼当其忏悔师是的羊是笨羊。(不可将秘密告诉敌人。)除此之外,还有双重否定结构强调式,如:It is never too old tolearn(. 活到老,学到老)等。 (二)特殊强调式 这类句子最大的特点是其语义为反语,很容易与上述"一般'IT'强调式"混淆,造成误解。因此,必须了解其特点,仔细推敲其含义。 例如: (5)It is an ill wind that blows nobody good. 不论怎样的恶风,也不会使人人都不舒服。(误解:恶风吹的人人都不舒服。) (6)It is awiseman that nevermakesmistakes. 智者也有失策时。(误解:智者从不犯错。) (7)It is a long lane that has no turning. 路不会老不转,事不会一成不变。(误解:长路不转弯。) (8)It is a wise father that knows his own child. 父再明也未必知其子。(误解:明智父亲知其子。) (9)It is a bold mouse that nestles in the cat's house.再勇敢的老鼠也不会在猫的耳朵里安家。(做不必要的冒险算不得真勇敢。)(误解:只有勇敢的老鼠才在猫的耳朵里安家。) 总结上述例子,这类反语式强调句实际上隐含了让步意味,其反语意思需要从上下文或谚语本身的逻辑中分析出来(注意与一般"IT"强调式相区分)。简单说来,这类句子语义可理解为:语义否定"that" 后的部分。如例(5)(6)中,"that" 后的部分为否定,其实际意义为肯定;例(7)(8)(9)反之。 二、省略式 省略是一种避免重复、突出关键词语并使上下文紧密连接的语法手段。英语谚语中,因其口语化的特点,高度压缩的省略句式相当常见。这些省略句式中,有时甚至只保留需要强调和突出的中心词语,其余的部分均省略。但省略的前提条件是表达无歧义。省略后的句子结构格外简练,语义更为突出,表意能力也大为增强。 (一)普通省略句式 这类句式成分省略较少且省略成分显而易见,如句中前后重复部分、小品词、be 动词、have 等简单实义动词等等。例如: (10)A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. 一鸟在手胜于两鸟在林。 (11)Everyone to his tastes. 人各有所好。 (12)Lookers seekers, finders keepers. 丢失者寻找,寻到者拥有。 很明显,例(10)中" two"后省略了重复成分"birds"从而使句子更简洁;而例(11)和(12)中则分别省略了使用频率极高的谓语动词"has" 和"is",读者很容易理解,从而使句子"短益求短"。 (二)特殊省略句式这类句式形式上为对称的并列复合省略句,意义实质上表达主从复合句的内容。英语谚语具有短小精悍、朗朗上口的特点,主从复合句因其句子长、结构复杂等弱点,往往需要经过千锤百炼。许多英语谚语便常采用并列复合句的形式来表达主从复合句的内容。
