托福學(xué)習(xí)：《這個殺手不太冷》電影解析
經(jīng)典電影《這個殺手不太冷》(Leon)中有這么一個場景：
Mathilda去警察局找殺了她弟弟的仇人Stan警官，Mathilda在廁所撞見了Stan，Stan拿著槍，低著身對Mathilda說了一句話——
It’s when you start to become really afraid of death that you learn to appreciate life.
人只有開始變得非常害怕死亡的時候才能學(xué)會珍惜生命。
這個句子不僅充滿了哲理，而且是學(xué)習(xí)托福寫作的好材料，因為這是一個強(qiáng)調(diào)句。強(qiáng)調(diào)句可以為小伙伴們的托福獨立寫作增添色彩，讓考官覺得：“這個人肚子里有點貨。”
現(xiàn)在咱們就來看看強(qiáng)調(diào)句的寫法，其實強(qiáng)調(diào)句的公式非常簡單，就是：
It is/was + 強(qiáng)調(diào)部分 + that + 剩余部分.(當(dāng)謂語動詞是過去式的時候用was)
但要注意一個規(guī)則：強(qiáng)調(diào)人可以用that或who，但強(qiáng)調(diào)其他成分要用that，也就是說，強(qiáng)調(diào)時間不能用when，強(qiáng)調(diào)地點不能用where，下面我們就來強(qiáng)調(diào)一下以下句子的各個部分:
I ran into my ex-girlfriend in the park this morning.
今天早上我在公園撞見了我的前任女友。
It was I that/who ran into my ex-girlfriend in the park this morning.
It was my ex-girlfriend that/who I ran into in the park this morning.
It was|H
in the park that I ran into my ex-girlfriend this morning.
It was this morning that I ran into my ex-girlfriend in the park.
如果要檢驗一個句子變?yōu)閺?qiáng)調(diào)句是否變對了，那就是把it is/was和that都去掉，看是否能還原原句。
現(xiàn)在我們把電影中的那個句子的縮寫打開，變?yōu)椋?/p>
It is when you start to become really afraid of death that you learn to appreciate life.
把it is和that都去掉，得到：
You learn to appreciate life when you start to become really afraid of death.
這就是原始的句子。小伙伴們，你們學(xué)會了嗎? 處處留心，皆是托福學(xué)問/賊笑/賊笑
