??英语中表达强调的方法很多,一些语法书和参考书都对其进行了较为详细的讲解但少数特殊的加强语气的词汇、句式在书中没有较为系统的讲解和总结,给我们理解文章和翻译带来了一定的难度。下面就一些加强语气的表达方式进行:
??一、肯定的词汇表达语气的加强
1.more than...:"非常","岂止",表示程度的加强

2.and that,and...at that:而且",表示程度的加深

3.all too:"实在太……",表示惋惜或抱怨

4.all+抽象名词:相当于"very +adj."
I am all attention.我全神贯注地听着。
5.if ever,if any,if anything,if at all, etc.:突出主句的意义
If ever there was a great man,it is he.他是一个伟人。
6.good(nice,fine,etc.)+and+adj.:相当于"very +adj."

7.far from:"一点儿也不"

8.anything like,anything near,not anywhere near:用于否定语气的加强

9.anything but:"绝不是"

二、由"nothing"构成的习语表示语气的加强
1.nothing short of:简直可以说是"

2.nothing like:突出名词或动名词所表达的意义
There is nothing like a bunch of flowe as a present for your mother's birthday.合作为你母亲的生日礼物了。
3.nothing if not:"非常","首先","极其"等
She is nothing if not clever.她非常聪明。
4.nothing else than:仅仅","完全",相当于"nothing but"

??其它还有have nothing to show for it(毫无成就可言),next to nothing(几乎没有),all to nothing(完完全全),nothing very much(平平常常),worse than nothing(十分糟糕)等等。
??三、否定的习惯用语表示肯定语气的加强
1. not half: "极端的"
The paper you wrote is not half good.写得棒极了。
2.否定词+比较级:相当于"very","more than anything else"
He could not feel better living in the countryside.住在乡村他感觉好极了。
3.can never,can not too:再……也不为过,越……越好

类似的词语还有:as often as not(常常)等等。
??对于这些加强语气的表达语的归纳总结,有助于我们系统地了解一些特殊形式强调词汇的意义,对我们阅读文章和翻译句子极其有益。
