113. While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked.
譯文
盡管不插手(放手給孩子空間成長)對我來說不容易,但這無疑是成功邁出的第一步,我很快可以學(xué)會更多,一方面讓我與她保持足夠的距離,以給她應(yīng)有的私人空間,另一方面又可以和她足夠親近,以便能在她需要時施以援手。
點睛
本句是“it was...+that從句”的強調(diào)句型。While stepping back was difficult for me是由while引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句;putting myself...to help if asked在句中作伴隨狀語。
...enough...to do是“足夠……去做”的意思。如:
He was brave enough to raise objections at the meeting. 他足夠勇敢,敢在會上提出反對意見。
注意:副詞修飾形容詞或副詞時一般位于被修飾詞之前,但enough例外,它往往置于被修飾的形容詞或副詞之后。
考點歸納
強調(diào)句型的結(jié)構(gòu)為“It is/was+被強調(diào)部分+that/who從句”。使用強調(diào)句時應(yīng)注意:
即使被強調(diào)的主語是復(fù)數(shù),主句仍用“it is/was...that/who”的形式。如:
It was Lily and Lucy who helped me in trouble. 是莉莉和露西在我困難的時候幫助了我。
在強調(diào)時間、地點、原因或方式狀語時,一律用that,而不用when, where, why或how。要注意與定語從句區(qū)分。如:
It was during the summer holiday that he visited Beijing. 他是在暑假期間去的北京。(強調(diào)時間)
要區(qū)分強調(diào)句型和定語從句,可將“it is/was”和“that/who”去掉。
1)若句中不缺成分,結(jié)構(gòu)完整,說明原句是強調(diào)句型;
2)若結(jié)構(gòu)不完整,則說明原句為定語從句。
