Although it’s the doctors and nurses who will treat her injury，it’s my job to make her feel better. 盡管為她治療傷痛的是醫生和護士，但讓她的心情變好則是我的工作。
【句式分析】although 引導的讓步狀語從句中，it’s the doctors and nurses who will treat her injury 是強調句型，強調的是主語the doctors and nurses。
1 強調句型
強調句型的結構：It is/was + 被強調部分 + that/who + 其他部分。該句型可強調主語、賓語、狀語等，但不能強調謂語。
The clown doctor entertains the little crying patients in the children’s hospital.
小丑醫生逗樂兒童醫院里哭鬧的小病人。［詞匯復現］
→ It is the clown doctor that/who entertains the little crying patients in the children’s hospital.（強調主語）
→ It is the little crying patients that/who the clown doctor entertains in the children’s hospital.（強調賓語）
→ It is in the children’s hospital that the clown doctor entertains the little crying patients.（強調地點狀語）
重點句式
【誤區警示】
（1）構成強調句型的it 不能用其他詞代替。
（2）用is 還是was 要根據原句的時態而定：屬于現在或將來時間范疇的所有時態用is；屬于過去時間范疇的所有時態用was。
（3）被強調部分指人時，可以用who 代替that，其他情況一律用that。
【學法點撥】
強調句型的判斷方法：去掉 it is/was 與that/who，剩余部分若結構完整、句意明確，則為強調句型，否則就不是。
◆單句語法填空
（1）It is the sick old man 　　　　 　 is in need of help.
