一道強調句考題分析

請看下面的試題：

It was what he meant rather than what he said _________ annoyed me.

A. which                  B. as                        C. what                    D. that

許多考生對此題的結構分析感到無從下手。其實，此題為一個強調句型，空格處應填 that (即選D)，被強調成分為 what he meant rather than what he said。句意為“讓我生氣的不是他說的話，而是他話中的意思”。請再看幾例：

(1) It was his nervousness in the interview _________ probably lost him the job.

A. which                  B. since                    C. that                      D. what

答案選C，為強調句型，被強調成分為 his nervousness in the interview，句意為“很可能是面試時表現出緊張，使他失去了這份工作”。

(2) It is the ability to do the job _________ matters not where you come from or what you are.

A. one                      B. that                      C. what                    D. it

答案選B，為強調句型，被強調成分為 the ability to do the job，句意為“重要的是你做工作的能力，而不是你來自何地或你是從事什么工作的”。
