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
