核对答案
用句首位置来表示强调
Your flavor I never forget. 你的口味我从未忘记。
•在英语中,句首位置常用来表示强调,将本来不位于句首的成分放在句首,往往是对这个成分进行强调。试与上面例句的普通表达进行比较:
I never forget your flavor. 我记得你的口味。
这样的例子有很多,试比较如下几例:
普通:He kept this job for twenty years. 他做这个工作 20 年了。
强调:This job he kept for twenty years. 这个工作他做了 20 年。
普通:The students can understand this. 学生们能理解这一点。
强调:This the students can understand. 这一点学生们能理解。
普通:I know that she is a good girl. 我知道她是一个好姑娘。
强调:That she is a good girl I know. 她是一个好姑娘,我知道。
