第十一节 强调句、倒装句、省略句15-1
一、强调句(参见it的用法)
强调句型由"It is (was) + 被强调的成份(主语、宾语、状语)+ that"构成,当被强调的主语表示人时,that可以用who替代,谓语在人称和数上应与主语保持一致。
It is he who speaks English fluently.
It was not until midnight that he went to sleep last night.
二、倒装句
句子在以下场合往往用倒装的句序:
1.以here, there开头的句子。
Here comes the bus.
2.以so, nor, neither引导的省略句。
如果前一个句子是肯定句,后边用so来引导倒装,这种句子是部分倒转:助动词+主语+正常语序。如果前一个句子是否定句,后边用nor或neither引导,结构同so。倒装句在时态上应与前面的句子保持一致,助动词的单复数应与主语保持一致。
If you can do it, so can I.
I like watch football matches, so does my brother.
If you won't go, neither will he.
My sister doesn't like potatoes, nor do I.
3."only +状语(从句)",否定或具有否定意义的词位于句首作状语或引导状语从句的句子。
Only in this way can you hope to improve your English.
Not only did he show himself as a good student, but he also proved himself a good athlete.

(hardly…when=as soon as)

"I'm hungry. " "Are you?"
"What did you buy?" "A dictionary."
2.不定式省略

3.并列句中成份省略

4.复合句中成份省略

5. do有时用于省略句中,替代上文出现的动词及其宾语。如:
Computers are supposed to save time, but I'm not so sure they do. (save time)
be supposed to do sth.:
1. 被期望或被要求做某事
They were supposed to be here an hour ago.
2. 用于否定句中,获准做某事。

"The old house belongs to the Greens."
"Oh, no, ________."(答案 C)
A. it mustn't B. it hasn't C. it doesn't D. it didn't
(belong to 属于)
省略句常运用于是常对话的上下文中。如I think so, I'd love to, I'm afraid not 等。句型"Why not …?"以及动词do也常在考核点之列,考生应注意Why not 后面接动词原形,而动词do或其过去式常可以用来代替上文中的动词及其宾语、表语。

A. let her to do B. letting her to do
C. let her do D. lets her do
