I only love you. → 弱
I love no one but you. → 强
颠覆你平常的用法，该怎么讲才能让你的语气够强烈
究竟、到底、不过是….罢了、绝不可能
这些有强调意味的字该怎么用英文表达？
要出门前听到别人跟你说 “You can’t be too careful.”
千万不要以为他是要你「不能太小心」
快来看看你在生活中常使用的强调语气，如何用英文表达吧
It is you that I love.
It is/was + 被强调之人事物 + that 子句
这个句型强调「……就是……」，你可以比较一下以下两句
Perseverance made him successful.
→ It is perseverance that made him successful. (是毅力让他成功。 )
这两句相比，是不是第二句有力多了呢
It was Tom who broke the window. (是 Tom 打破窗户的。)
It was yesterday that Jane got married. (Jane是昨天结婚的。)
What on earth are you talking about?
在五个 W (when, where, why, who, what)、一个 H (how) 这些疑问词后面加上 on earth, the hell, the devil, the heck 等字，可以加强你问句的语气，中文大概是「究竟、到底」的意思，不过语气还要稍强一些些
What the devil? (搞什么鬼？)
Who the hell are you? (你究竟是谁？)
What the heck did you do? (你到底做了什么？)
You cannot be too careful when crossing the street.
千万别被字面上的意思所骗了唷！用这个句型表示「再…..也不为过」
cannot…… too + adj./ adv.
= cannot + over类动词
We can’t love our parents too much.
→ 字面上是我们不能太爱父母，实际上它是强调语气，意思为「我们再怎么爱父母也不为过」，意即「我们应该多爱父母」。
We can’t overemphasize the importance of the environmental protection.
= We can’t emphasize the importance of the environmental protection too much.
(我们再怎么强调环保的重要性也不为过。)
I can’t help laughing.
以下这个句型是指「忍不住……」、「不得不……」的意思
cannot help + Ving
= cannot (help) but + 原形 V.
She can’t help but stare at the guy over there. (她忍不住凝视那边那位男生)
He can’t help following her every command. (他不得不答应她的所有要求)
补充：have no choice but + to V 「除了……别无选择」
I have no choice but to leave. (我除了离开，别无选择。)
要注意的是这些句型用的是原形动词、动名词 Ving，还是不定词 to V 唷！
You are nothing but smart.
V + nothing but + N/ V/ Adj.
这个句型用来强调「只….」，「….什么都不….，只….」
He drinks nothing but beer. (他什么都不喝，只喝啤酒)
I did nothing but sleep yesterday. (我昨天什么都没做，只有睡觉)
I have nothing but you. (我只有你)
使用这个句型要注意 but 后面的字要与 nothing 对等。 Nothing 前面的动词与 but 后面的字要搭配到才行。
You are anything but smart.
与上一个句型完全相反，anything but 是指「….什么都会，但就不会….」、「一点也不….」、「决不」
I have anything but a girlfriend. (我什么都有，就是没有女朋友)
Sammy wants to be anything but a teacher. (Sammy 一点也不想当老师)
He is anything but an honest man. (他绝对不是一个诚实的人)
补充：你可以把 anything but 替换为 by no means/ far from
It never rains but pours.
中文可翻成「每次……都……」
never…. but (+ S ) + V
never…. without + Ving
It never rains but it pours. (每次下雨都是倾盆大雨 → 引申为「祸不单行」、「屋漏偏逢连夜雨」)
He never appears without complaining his life. (他每次出现都一定会抱怨他的生活)
It’s nothing more than a joke.
nothing more than 可以翻成「仅仅是」、「不过是……罢了」
After the accident, she can do nothing more than moving her eyes.
(在那场意外之后，她能做的只有移动她的双眼)
It’s nothing more than a historical event.
(不过是历史事件罢了)
You are the last person I want to believe.
the last + N + to V ；「绝不会；最不可能」
the last + N + 形容词子句
You are the last person that will let me down. (你绝不会让我失望的)
David is the last man that I want to marry. (我是绝对不可能跟David结婚的)
The last thing I want to do is to give up. (我决不放弃)
