老师好:请教一下。

Its an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then E-mails them when a matching position is posted in the database.

问题:这句话是不是为强调句,为何?

Its an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then E-mails them when a matchingposition is posted in the database.

【翻译】这是一个互动的功能,让访问者键入我们的求职条件需要,诸如工作地址、头衔和薪水等,然后等数据库中有匹配的职位公布时,就给他们发邮件。

我觉得,这不是“强调结构”。that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then E-mails themwhen a matching position is posted in the database 是定语从句,修饰 feature 。理由是:

1. feature 是泛指的,前面有不定冠词。一般而言,强调句中,被强调的主语总是是特定的事物,特指的事物。假如强调的话,应说:It is thisinteractive feature that ...

2. 从语义上剖析,理解为定语从句符合逻辑。It 是人称代词,可能指代前文讨论的“求职软件”,它拥有了如此一个功能或特征。或者说,前文论述的内容就是“这种功能”。


除此之外,我发现,网友还提及关于then 的问题,它是一个表示时间或顺序的副词,不可用作并列连词,所以,在合法文体中 then 之前应该加上and。有时,非正式文体把and 给省略了。这一点网友注意到了,非常不错。
