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 real
