抽象名词+itself
“抽象名词+itself可用在be的后面作为表语形容词。这是一个强势结构,能产生强烈的修辞效果。如:I share the room with Isabel. She is tidiness itself. (very tidy)
The sentence is simplicity itself. (very simple)
Mr. Smith is prudence itself. (very prudent)
这一特殊强调结构有一个变体,即be + all + 抽象名词。这两个强调结构可以相互换用而意思不变。如:At the moment, Freddy was all energy. (very energetic)
At the moment, Freddy was energy itself.
Jessica has a loving heart, she is all kindness. (very kind)
Jessica has a loving heart, she is kindness itself.
all+抽象名词 和 抽象名词+itself 一样,用作表语,在最大程度上体现该抽象名词的性质或情况,再如:When he spoke, we were all attention. (聚精会神的听)
