强调成分·主语 句式变体·一般强调 CEFR C2 59 词

The research of Till Von Wachter, the economist at Columbia University, suggests that not all people graduating into a recession see their life chances dimmed: those with degrees from elite universities catch up fairly quickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated in better times; it is the masses beneath them that are left behind.

哥伦比亚大学经济学家Till Von Wachter的研究表明,并非所有在经济衰退期毕业的人都会看到他们的人生机会变得黯淡:那些拥有精英大学学位的人会相当快地赶上如果他们在好时期毕业本该达到的位置;被落在后面的是他们之下的大众。

解析

这是标准的强调句型"it is...that...",强调主语"the masses beneath them"。验证方法:去掉"it is"和"that"后,句子变为"the masses beneath them are left behind",结构完整,语义通顺,证明这是强调句而非主语从句。强调句通过将被强调成分置于"it is"和"that"之间,突出了"普通大众"这一群体,与前文提到的精英大学毕业生形成对比。

After writing two books about the history of inventions, one thing I've learnt is that while it is the enchantingly sophisticated technologies that get all the hype, it's the cheap technologies that change the world.

解析

这是一个强调句结构,用"it is ... that/which"句型强调主语"the delivery"。去掉强调结构后还原为"the delivery causes the audience to smile",句子完整,证明这是强调句而非主语从句。这里用which代替that是因为先行词是物,在口语和非正式文体中可互换。强调句的作用是突出"正是表达方式(而非内容)导致观众微笑"这一因果关系中的施事者。

It is not simply to raise everyone's job prospects that all children are legally required to attend school into their teens.

所有儿童被法律要求上学直到青少年时期,并非仅仅是为了提高每个人的就业前景。

解析

强调句的基本结构是 "It is/was + 被强调部分 + that + 句子其余部分"。去掉 "It is...that" 框架后,还原为 "All children are legally required to attend school into their teens not simply to raise everyone's job prospects",句子完整且语义通顺,符合强调句判定标准。此处被强调的是否定的目的状语 "not simply to raise everyone's job prospects",通过强调句式将其前置,突出强调义务教育的目的不仅仅是提升就业前景这一层含义。

强调成分·主语 句式变体·一般强调 CEFR C2 27 词

Perhaps it is humankind's long suffering at the mercy of flood and drought that makes the idea of forcing the waters to do our bidding so fascinating.

或许正是人类长期受洪水和干旱摆布的苦难,使得强迫水域按我们的意愿行事这一想法如此吸引人。

解析

这是一个 "it is...that" 强调句型,强调了主语 "humankind's long suffering at the mercy of flood and drought"。验证方法是去掉 "it is" 和 "that" 后,句子依然完整:"humankind's long suffering at the mercy of flood and drought makes the idea of forcing the waters to do our bidding so fascinating"。此句通过强调句式突出了人类长期遭受水旱灾害的痛苦经历是导致后续结果的原因。

强调成分·主语 句式变体·一般强调 CEFR C1 28 词

It was also, and this is unknown even to many people well read about the period, a battle between those who made codes and those who broke them.

它也是一场密码制定者与密码破解者之间的较量,而这一点甚至对许多熟读该时期历史的人来说都是未知的。

解析

强调句的核心标志是 "It was..." 框架。去掉 "It was" 和连接词后,还原为 "also a battle between those who made codes and those who broke them",结构完整,说明这是强调句而非主语从句。此处强调的是主语 "a battle between those who made codes and those who broke them",突出这场斗争的本质。中间插入的 "and this is unknown even to many people well read about the period" 是附加说明,不影响强调句判定。

强调成分·主语 句式变体·一般强调 CEFR C1 32 词

The modern mind, Tim Parks, a novelist and critic, writes, "is overwhelmingly inclined toward communication… It is not simply that one is interrupted; it is that one is actually inclined to interruption."

小说家兼评论家蒂姆·帕克斯写道:“现代思维压倒性地倾向于交流……不仅仅是一个人会被打断;实际上是一个人本身就倾向于被打断。”

解析

此处 "it is that one is actually inclined to interruption" 去掉 "it is...that" 后剩余 "one is actually inclined to interruption" 确实是完整句子。这符合强调句的判定标准,强调的是主语从句 "that one is actually inclined to interruption" 这一整体内容,是典型的强调句型。

强调成分·状语 句式变体·一般强调 CEFR B2 18 词

It was specifically to provide city dwellers with spaces for leisure where they could experience "a refreshing air."

它专门是为城市居民提供休闲空间,在那里他们可以体验“令人耳目一新的空气”。

解析

这是一个强调句型 "It was...that..."(此处省略了 that),强调的是目的状语 "to provide city dwellers with spaces for leisure where they could experience 'a refreshing air.'"。去掉强调结构后,原句可还原为:"(Something was done) specifically to provide city dwellers with spaces for leisure...",句子语义完整。强调句的识别标志是去掉 "It was...that..." 框架后,剩余部分仍构成完整句子。此处通过 "It was" 开头和后续不定式短语的结构,将目的状语前置强调,突出建立城市休闲空间的具体目的。

强调成分·主语 句式变体·一般强调 CEFR C1 24 词

But is it really happiness that's linked to investment, or could something else about happier cities explain why firms there spend more on R&D?

但是真的是幸福与投资相关联吗,或者关于更幸福的城市的其他某些因素能够解释为什么那里的公司在研发上花费更多吗?

解析

这是一个强调句的疑问形式。标准强调句结构是 "It is/was...that...",此处强调主语 "happiness"。去掉强调结构 "is it...that" 后,还原为 "really happiness is linked to investment",句子完整,符合强调句判定标准。疑问语序将 "is" 提前,变成 "Is it...that",但本质仍是强调句式。此处通过强调 "happiness" 来质疑真正起作用的因素是否是幸福感本身。

强调成分·主语 句式变体·一般强调 CEFR C1 14 词

What is it that makes us feel we need to hide behind our screens?

是什么让我们觉得我们需要躲在屏幕后面?

解析

这是一个特殊疑问句形式的强调句。将疑问词 "What" 提前后,原本的强调句式 "It is what that makes us feel..." 变为 "What is it that makes us feel..."。去掉 "is it that" 框架后,句子还原为 "What makes us feel we need to hide behind our screens?",结构完整,证明这是强调句而非主语从句。该句强调的是主语 "what"(什么东西),即导致我们产生躲藏需求的事物。

But "it's us, human beings, we the people who create the society we want, not profit."

但是“是我们,人类,我们人民创造了我们想要的社会,而不是利润。”

解析

本句使用"it's...who"结构强调主语。去掉"it's"和"who"后,剩余"us, human beings, we the people create the society we want"语义完整,符合强调句判定标准。被强调部分"us, human beings, we the people"通过同位语层层递进强调施动者是人类自身。

强调成分·状语 句式变体·not until 强调 CEFR C1 19 词

It was only after "toddler" became a common shoppers' term that it evolved into a broadly accepted developmental stage.

只有在“学步儿童”成为一个常见的购物者术语之后,它才演变成一个被广泛接受的发展阶段。

解析

本句使用 "It was ... that" 框架强调时间状语 "only after 'toddler' became a common shoppers' term"。判断依据:去掉 "It was" 和 "that" 后,剩余部分 "Only after 'toddler' became a common shoppers' term it evolved into a broadly accepted developmental stage" 语义完整(调整语序后为 "It evolved into a broadly accepted developmental stage only after 'toddler' became a common shoppers' term"),符合强调句特征。此处属于 "not until" 强调的变体形式("only after" 与 "not until" 逻辑相近,均强调时间节点),通过强调句式突出 "toddler" 成为购物术语这一时间节点对其演变为发展阶段的关键作用。

强调成分·状语 句式变体·一般强调 CEFR C1 29 词

It was argued at the end of the 19th century that humans do not cry because they are sad but they become sad when the tears begin to flow.

在19世纪末有人认为,人类不是因为悲伤而哭泣,而是当眼泪开始流淌时才变得悲伤。

解析

该结构符合 "It is/was ... that" 强调句型。去掉 "It was" 和 "that" 后,句子变为 "at the end of the 19th century humans do not cry..." 语义完整,证明这是强调句而非主语从句。此处强调的是时间状语 "at the end of the 19th century",将其提前突出,强调这一理论提出的时间背景。

In other words, it is up to the buyer, rather than the seller, to decide what to buy.

换句话说,由买方而非卖方决定买什么。

解析

这是一个强调句型 "it is...that...",强调了 "up to the buyer, rather than the seller" 这个状语成分。去掉 "it is" 和隐含的 "that"(在不定式前省略)后,还原为 "to decide what to buy is up to the buyer, rather than the seller",句子完整但语序不自然,证明原句是强调结构。这里通过 "it is" 框架将 "up to the buyer" 这个表示责任归属的状语前置并强调,突出了买方而非卖方的决定权。

强调成分·主语 句式变体·一般强调 CEFR C1 34 词

It is the playgoers, the RSC contends, who bring in much of the town's revenue because they spend the night (some of them four or five nights) pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants.

皇家莎士比亚剧团认为,正是这些看戏的人带来了镇上的大部分收入,因为他们会过夜(其中一些人会待四五个晚上),把钱花在酒店和餐馆里。

解析

强调句的基本结构是 "It is/was + 被强调部分 + that/who + 其余部分"。去掉 "It is" 和 "who" 后,句子变为 "the playgoers bring in much of the town's revenue",语法完整、语义通顺,证明这是强调句而非主语从句。此处强调主语 "the playgoers",用 "who" 引导(强调人时可用 who 替代 that)。该句在强调结构中插入了 "the RSC contends",但不影响强调句本质。
