句子的強調(diào):強調(diào)能更有效地進行思想交流。寫作者為使讀者能更深入地了解自己的觀點,有必要運用強調(diào)的手段。這就好比平時我們做筆記的時候,用熒光筆劃出重點,為的就是能一目了然。那么寫作的時候,也不要忘記在必要的地方使用一下highlight,讓那些沒有顏色的亮綠亮黃,一下子達到讀者心里去。
常見的強調(diào)手段有如下幾種:
1)句尾強調(diào)(End Emphasis)英語句子中通常將需要強調(diào)的部分置于句子末尾。
弱:He has achieved success, I believe.
強:He has, I believe, achieved success.
2)倒裝語序(Inverted Order)運用點到正常語序的手法達到強調(diào)。
正常:I did not believe what she said for a moment.
倒裝:Not for a moment did I believe what she said.
3)重復(fù)(Repetition)有意重復(fù)主要信息也可達到強調(diào)的目的。
…that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
