淺談書(shū)面英語(yǔ)中的強(qiáng)調(diào)表達(dá)

張嘯野

語(yǔ)言交流中，為了突出表達(dá)某個(gè)部分的重要性，人們往往采用加重語(yǔ)氣的方法，以表示強(qiáng)調(diào)。比如：Who has been to Beijing before？ / Only Tom in the school.這里強(qiáng)調(diào)Who和Tom。在交流時(shí)，要重讀。

再如，An experienced secretary is wanted by the company now. / Mary worked in a large manufacture company for a half and two years.句子里面幾個(gè)詞要重讀，experienced，worked，years等，以表示強(qiáng)調(diào)。

那么，書(shū)面語(yǔ)中的強(qiáng)調(diào)是如何實(shí)現(xiàn)的呢？其實(shí)，書(shū)面語(yǔ)強(qiáng)調(diào)也是有規(guī)律可循的。比如：強(qiáng)調(diào)句型是我們最熟悉的。除此之外，書(shū)面英語(yǔ)中使用特殊的詞、短語(yǔ)等形式來(lái)表達(dá)強(qiáng)調(diào)語(yǔ)氣。下面從詞匯、句法兩方面，對(duì)強(qiáng)調(diào)用法作以說(shuō)明：
