It is not only blind men who make such stupid mistakes.(SBI,P28) 决不只是盲人才犯这样愚蠢的错误。

It was the goat's eyes that he had seen in the darkness.(SBI,P211) 他在黑暗中看到的就是这只山羊的眼睛。

It-type强调句的特征是：如果我们把"It be…that…"从句中划去，所剩 的正好是一个完整的句子。例如 上面第一句经过处理后就成了：

Not onlt blind men make such stupid mistakes.

它的意思仍然是完整的，只是强调意味已经失去。实际上"It be…that…" 只不过是一个框架而已，它的各 部份在句子中均不担任成份。

It-type强调句通常可用来强调句子的主语、宾语、状语。但强调状语时， 有几个方面是必须注意的：

1.条件，让步状语从句不能强调，例如：

If it rains,we won't go out.

如果下雨，我们就不出去。

We'll try to finish the work in time though we are short ofman power. 虽然我们缺乏人力，我们还是要设法按时完成这项工作。

不能强调为：

It is if it rains that we won't go out. It is though we are short of manpower that we'll try to finish the work in time.

2.It-type强调句可强调because引导的原因状语从句，但不可强调 as,since引导的原因状语从句，例如：

I do it because I like it.因为我喜欢，我才干。

可强调为：

It is because I like it that I do it.

下面这个句子则不可以强调：

Since no one is against it,we'll adopt the proposal. 既然没有人反对，这个议案我们就通过了。

3.It-type强调句可强调so that引起的目的状语从句，但不能强调so that 引起的结果状语从句，例如：

The six blind men asked the driver to stop the beast so that they could have a "look".

六个盲人要求赶象人让这头巨兽停下来，以便他们能"看一看"。 可强调为：

It was so that they could have a "look"that the six blindmen asked the driver to stop the be ast.

下面这个句子则不可以强调：

He didn't plan his time well,so that he didn't finish thework in time. 他没有把时间计划好，结果没有按时完成这项工作。
