第119句:

It was the need to accommodate employees with young children that motivated accountancy firm Wright Vigar to begin promoting teleworking recently.

正是为了满足家中孩子尚小的员工的需要,赖特·瓦伊格会计师事务所最近开始实行远程办公制度。


六级词汇讲解:
本句是一个It was...that...结构的强调句。强调的部分是主语the need...young children;第二个不定式短语to begin promoting teleworking recently作Wright Vigar的宾语补足语。

accommodate在句中意为“给方便,帮助”,此外还含有“供给……住宿;招待”之意。如:

1)I can't believe that she accommodated a stranger for the night.
我无法相信她竟然留一个陌生人住了一夜。
2)The guests were well accommodated in his wedding.
他的婚礼待客周到。
motivate意为“激发,促使”。如:
A major function of leaders is to motivate other individuals and groups.
领导的一个主要作用就是激励其他个人和群体。

英语六级考点归纳:
It引导的强调句型的构成:
It+be+被强调部分+that(强调部分指人作主语时用who,指人作宾语时用whom)+句子的其他部分。要注意的是,该句型不能强调句子的谓语。如:
Mary met an old beggar in the street yesterday.
It was Mary who/that met an old beggar in the street yesterday.(强调主语)
It was an old beggar whom/that Mary met in the street yesterday.(强调宾语)
It was yesterday that Mary met an old beggar in the street.(强调时间状语)
It was in the street that Mary met an old beggar yesterday.(强调地点状语)
