英语中加强语气的表示法语言是交际的工具，而语气的强弱通常又表示说话者的不同的含义和不同的侧重点。英语中加强语气的表现法多种多样。英语中加强语气的最简单的形式就是重读想要加强语气的字眼儿，在书写中大都写成斜体或粗体或大写体，例如：Ampere noticed that it was Not a blackboard and that it was the back of a carriage.There is only one way of treating “men”----with the iron hand.He always works hard at English.用一个单纯的副词 very, quite, terribly 或形容词 real, extreme, very 等来加强语气在英语中极其普遍，不胜枚举,如：This is the very book that I am looking for.把 only 置于被加强语气的字眼儿前可用来加强语气，如对下句 I saw Li Ping in the street yesterday 可用 only 来强调每个成分，如：Only I saw Li Ping in the street yesterday.I only saw Li Ping in the street yesterday.I saw only Li Ping in the street yesterday.I saw Li Ping only in the street yesterday.I saw Li Ping in the street only yesterday.有时使用倒置也能起到加强语气的作用，如：Only by changing the way can we save the earth.Never have I realized that water is so precious.At the top of the hill stands a big tree.在语法上谓语动词的语气加强常采用助动词 do/does/did 或重叠的方法来表示，如：Einstein did urge the United States to build an atomic bomb to defeat the Nazis, but when he saw the effect of the bomb, he regretted his actions.Mary likes John very much and she does want to marry John.Last month it rained and rained.形容词、副词比较级和名词重叠也用来加强语气，如：Our country is becoming stronger and stronger.He made mistake after mistake.They fought battle after battle. “单数可数名词+after+同一单数可数名词”这种重叠的方法表示“很多，一个接一个”，用以加强语气，等于“one+单数可数名词+after + another”。因此：He made mistake after mistake.=He made one mistake after another.( 他一次又一次地犯错误。)They fought battle...
