It is/was + 被強調部分 +that 子句" 這種強調句型是用來加強語氣使用,目的是強調句中的某個部分。被強調的部分若是指人,則可用 who 或者 whom 來代替 that。這種句型中的 "it" 沒有實質意義,只是用來改變句子結構,使句子的某一成分獲得強調。所強調的部分可以主詞、受詞、副詞、補語等。在翻譯的時候,可在被強調部分之前加上 「就是,正是,是」等詞來表示強調。
強調句的部分不可能是句中的動詞。
原句:Columbus discovered America in 1492.
強調句:It was Columbus that discovered America in 1492.
(在1492年發現美洲的是哥倫布。)強調就是Columbus發現美洲
※that前面強調的是人時,可用who。
It is you who are to blame. 強調you
(該受遣責的是你。)
