关于我们

几种表示强调的句法手段

1

There Be

下例中,通过使用there be突出了强调的重点——红色字体部分:

A: For EU enlargement several alternative scenarios could be considered.

B: There are several scenarios that we could consider for EU enlargement.


需要指出的是,there be很多时候可以省略,比如:

示例:还有18.5%的女性尚有更加充足的时间可以从事另外一份工作。

A: There are still 18.5% of the women having sufficient time to do a second job.

B: 18. 5% of the women still have sufficient time to do a second job.


2

What

What句型强调系动词之后的部分:

示例:国家立法滞后,地方立法分散,统一的社会保障制度被分割。

National legislation has fallen behind current realities, and local legislation varies so drastically that what China has currently is not an integrated social security system, but a large set of fragmented systems.

3

It

It作为形式主语,可以把较长的主语后置:

A: The accession of new Member States in several stages now seems likely.

B: It now seems likely that new Member States will join in several stages.

It is that...强调that之后的成分:

It was that image of calm, control and discipline that appealed to millions of voters.


4

倒装

倒装也是一种强调手段:

示例:在自然经济社会里,社会成员的生活保障是以自给自足的小农经济为基础的,体现为家庭自我保障,并未形成规范化、法制化的社会保障制度。市场经济开创了现代社会保障的先河。

In the natural economy, members of society secured their livelihood through small-scale farming, realizing self-sufficiency and economic security at the level of the family unit. Only with the transition to a market economy did the first modern, law-based social security system emerge.
