Most recently it has been the EUthat has submitted proposals to America, only to be rebuffed.

問：假如這不是強調句型，改如何理解呢？



大家先看一個強調句與that引導定語從句有什么區別：

A：Who is crying over there?

B : Itis the lecturerer who has just been fired by the college.



A1: I heard the professor has lost his job.

B1: No. It is the lecturerer who has been fired by the college.

以上二組對話中，B句中，who引導定語從句修飾the lecturerer. the lecturerer為前照應特指。B句中，it is...who...為強調句型。the lecturerer為語境特指。



網友的這個句子中，雖然狀語most recently坐落于句首修飾謂語動詞，it has been用目前完成時在強調句型中較為少見，但the EU為專有名詞，其所指是明確無誤，聽說雙方是共識的，無需要限制性定語，而that又不可以引導非限制性定語從句。因此，這個句子還是應該根據強調句來剖析、理解。
