It is not everyday you get a new job.是強調句嗎？
■本站特約作者 劉永科
在Let’s go out and celebrate. After all, it’s not every day you get a new job.這句話中，it’s not every day you get a new job.是強調句嗎？是不是省略了that？請老師釋疑，明確一下這是不是強調句。
After all, it's not every day you get a new job. 就是強調句，被強調部分是every day，在it's not every day之后省略了that，等于After all, it's not every day that you get a new job.還原后為：After all, you don’t get a new job every day. not仍然否定every day。
意思是：“你不是每天都可以得到一份新的工作。”
It's not every day (that)...句式，在口語中很常見，已經由強調句轉化為一個常用習語。意為“并不是每天都會怎樣......”又如：
It's not every day you get the opportunity to study and live in a foreign country.到國外去學習和生活的機會不是每天都有的。
It's not every day you learn about other people around the world!畢竟不是每天都能知道世界上別人的事情。
It's not every day that one of your classmates wins an Olympic gold medal.你有同學贏得奧運金牌，那可不是天天發生的事。
注意強調句的否定式。
請比較以下兩組，強調的角度不同：
A. It wasn’t I that made fun of him.不是我（而是別人）取笑他。
B. It was I that didn’t make fun of him. 就是我沒有取笑他。
A. It wasn’t Mary that looked down upon you. 不是瑪麗（而是別人）瞧不起你。
B. It was Mary that didn’t look down upon you. 就是瑪麗沒有瞧不起你。
有些否定句在變成強調句時，要把否定轉移到被強調的詞語之前。例如部分否定句，在變為強調句時，要把not提到It is (was)之后。此外，“not… until…”句式的強調也要特別注意，應將not置于被強調部分里面。例如：
注意以下句子如何變成強調句：
All of the boys in our class don’t like football.
→It isn’t all of the boys in our class that (who) like football.
Both sisters are not interested in physics.
→It isn’t both sisters that (who) are interested in physics.
Everybody doesn’t know the answer.
→It isn’t everybody that knows the answer.
All that glitters is not gold.
→It isn’t all that glitters that is gold.
Money can’t buy everything.
→It is not everything that money can buy.
He didn’t realize his mistake until the teacher had told him.
→It wasn’t until the teacher had told him that he realized his mistake.
You don’t get a new job every day.
→It's not every day (that) you get a new job. (www.52ysedu.com)
