在高中英语教学中，我们经常遇到强调表达方式，而一谈到强调表达方法，许多人自然而然地就想到了"It is ……that….."这个强调结构。但英语中的强调方法是多种多样的，在口语中，我们可以借助语气、语调的变化来表示强调，即重读句中要强调的词或某个部分；在书面语中，我们可以通过词汇手段、语法手段或修辞手段来表示强调。本文就书面语中英语强调种种作简要归纳。
一、 通过各种不同的词汇和短语来表示强调。
在英语中，有些词在句中没有实在意义，只起到加强语气的作用，但在句中要重读，可以强调句中的动词、名词、数词、形容词、副词等，常见的有：
1. 用do(does, did)来加强谓语动词的语气，此时，do可译为"的确""确实""果真""一定"等。E.g.
Do come early tomorrow, please. 明天请你一定要早点来。
He does know the place well. 他的确对那个地方很熟悉。
Mr. Johnson did give me great help in my English study. 在我的英语学习中，约翰森先生的确给了我很大的帮助。
2. 用very, single, only, such等修饰名词或形容词来加强语气，此时，这些词要和the, this, that或人称代词的所有格连用，可译为"正是""就是"等。E.g.
He is the very man I am looking for. 他正是我要找的那个人。
This fault is your very own. 这完全是你的错。
She is the only female for the position. 她是唯一适合这个职位的女性。
3. 用in the world, on earth, at all等短语表示强调，可译为"究竟""到底"等。E.g.
Where in the world could he be? 他到底会在哪儿？
What on earth are you doing? 你究竟在做些什么？
I don't know about it at all. 我对这事一点儿都不清楚。
4.在形容词或副词的比较级前加much, far, still, even, a great deal等，最高级前加by far, by no means, much等来表示加强语气，可译为"…得多""远比….得多"。E.g.
This story is far more interesting than that one. 这个故事比那个故事有趣的多。
It was very cold yesterday, but it is even colder today. 昨天就够冷了，但今天更冷。
He is by far/ by no means the tallest student in our class. 在我们班上，他的个儿比谁都高。
5.用"形容词最高级 + of短语表示强调。E.g.
He is the meanest of the man.他再也下贱卑鄙不过了。
The truest of friends is he who helps others when they are in difficulty.最真实的朋友是困难时帮助别人的人。
6.用否定形式来加强语气，以示强调。
（1）用can't来加强语气。E.g.
He can't be more foolish. 他笨得不能再笨了。
I couldn't agree with you more. 我完全同意你的意见。
You can't praise the film too much. 这部电影你怎么赞扬都不过分。
（2）用双重否定来加强语气。E.g.
Nothing can live without water and air. 没有空气和水，什么也活不了。
It's impossible for the careless student to commit errors. 这个粗心的学生肯定要犯错误。
Never too late to learn. 活到老，学到老。
7.用大写字母、黑体字、重复或破折号来加强语气，以示强调。E.g.
The CEO then hands the guy $300 in cash and screams: "Here's a week's pay, now GET OUT and don't come back." 然后，CEO递给他300美元现金，愤怒地说道："这是你一周的薪水，你现在就给我滚出去，永远别再回来了。"
It's because of hard work —— ten years of hard work. 那都是艰辛劳动的原因——十年的艰辛劳苦啊！
They walked for miles and miles. 他们走了好几里啦。
8.用人称代词或所有格的后面加上own 表示强调，可译为"亲自""亲…的"。E.g.
I saw that traffic accident with my own eyes. 我亲眼目睹了那起交通事故。
He even couldn't read his own handwriting. 他连自己的字都看不清楚。
二．通过语法手段表示强调
1.用"It is(was) + 被强调部分+that/ who (whom) + 句子其它成份"强调句型来表示。此强调句型除不能强调谓语动词外，可以强调句中的其它任何成份。E.g
①It was Anne who had a severe heart attack last night. 昨晚得严重心脏病的是安妮。（强调主语）
②It was Mary that I met in the street. 我在街上遇到的是玛丽。（强调宾语）
③It was at the party that we became good friends. 就在那个晚会上，我们成了好朋友。（强调状语）
④It is Chairman of the committee that we elect him. 我们选他担任委员会主席。（强调宾语补足语）
⑤It was after the war ended that he went back to his hometown. 战争结束了，他才回到他的家乡。（强调状语从句）
注意：（1）当强调结构强调的是疑问句，其结构为"Is/ was it +被强调部分 + that/ who + 句子其它成份"，若是特殊疑问句，则变为"W－词 + is/ was +it + that......"。E.g.
Was it you who broke the window? 是你砸烂的窗子吗？
Where was it that you met them yesterday? 昨天你是在那儿遇到他们的？
What is it that he is talking about? 他究竟是在谈些什么？
(2)强调含有not until 句子时，其结构为"It is/ was not until ….that…."。e.g.
It was not until he had finished the work that he went home. 直到工作做完了他才回家。
It was not until 12 o'clock last night that they came back. 昨晚他们直到12点才回来。
(3）被强调的是原句的主语时，that/ who之后的谓语动词应与被强调的名词或代词在人称和数方面保持一致。E.g.
It is I who am answering the question. 是我在回答问题。
It is you who are wrong. 错的是你。
It is you, not your sister that are in charge of the company. 不是你妹妹，是你负责这个公司。
2.用动词的进行时态表示强调。谓语动词的进行时态经常用来表示说话人的想法、感觉、情绪等，具有强烈的感情色彩。E.g.
She is always doing things for other people. 他总是为别人做好事。
When a person is learning a foreign language, he mustn't always be translating everything into his own language. 学习外语时，没必要总是把一切都翻译成自己的母语。
You mustn't always be talking so much. 你不该老是讲那么多话。
三． 通过修辞手段来表示强调。
为了强调句中的某一成分，或者用来描绘动作，抒发情感或为保持句中平衡，经常使用倒装结构来表示强调。E.g.
The door opened and in came the teacher. 门打开了，走进了的是老师。（强调进来）
Never have I seen such a good film. 我从来没有看过这么好的电影。（强调从来没有）
So easy was the task that they finished it in a few days. 工作相当简单，他们几天就做完了。（强调容易）
Many a time have I climbed that hill. 我多次翻越过那座山。（强调多次）
Buried in the sands was an ancient village. 埋在沙子里的是一座古老的村庄。（强调埋藏在沙之中）
以上仅只是高中英语教学中经常遇到的强调方法和手段，本文就此作一归纳，但愿能对同学们的英语学习有所帮助。
