英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法之復(fù)雜結(jié)構(gòu)的強(qiáng)調(diào)句式

句子結(jié)構(gòu)比較復(fù)雜時(shí)，尤其是當(dāng)被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分比較復(fù)雜時(shí)，有的同學(xué)們就不能識(shí)別句子所用的強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)，從而不能正確作出選擇。如：

It was lack of money, not of effort, that defeated their plan. 他們的計(jì)劃受挫，原因是缺少錢(qián)而不是沒(méi)有盡力。

It was more in sorrow than in anger that he criticized his former colleague. 他批評(píng)以前的同事，并非出于氣憤而是為他惋惜。

It is the protection for the trees that really matters, rather than how many trees are planted. 真正重要的在于對(duì)樹(shù)木的保護(hù)，而不在于種了多少樹(shù)。

As far as he's concerned, it's not doing something wrong that matters, but not being caught doing something wrong, 就他而論，重要的不是做錯(cuò)事，而是做錯(cuò)事不被抓住。

請(qǐng)看兩道題：

(1) It is not who is right but what is right _______ is of importance.

A. which B. it C. that D. this

答案為C。此題考查it is…that…這一強(qiáng)調(diào)句式，被強(qiáng)調(diào)的是not who is right but what is right，全句意為：重要的不是誰(shuí)是對(duì)的，而是什么才是對(duì)的。

有時(shí)考查not…but…的同義結(jié)構(gòu)…rather than…與強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)的綜合運(yùn)用。如：

(2) It is what you do rather than what you say _______matters

A. that B. what C. which D. this

答案為A。被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分為what you do rather than what you say，全句意為：重要的是看你怎么做，而不是看你怎么說(shuō)。
