广州成人高考英语常用句型：
1、It作先行主语和先行宾语的一些句型
She had said what it was necessary to say.
2、强调句型
It is not who rules us that is important，but how he rules us.
3、“All+抽象名词”或“抽象名词+itself”(very+形容词)
He was all gentleness to her.
4、利用词汇重复表示强调
A crime is a crime a crime.
5、“something(much)of”和“nothing(little)of” “something of”相当于“to some extent”，表示程度。在疑问句或条件从句中，则为“anything of ”，可译为“有点”，“略微”等。译为“毫无”，“全无”。much of译为“大有”，not much of可译为“算不上”，“称不上”，little of可译为“几乎无”，something like译为“有点像，略似”。
They say that he had no university education，but he seems to be something of a scholar.
6、“so…that,such…that”是一个普通的句型，但在同一个句子里有两处使用它却比较少见。
The truth is,that in one point of view,this matter of national literature has come to such a pass with us,that in some sense we must turn bullies,else the day is lost,or superiority so far beyond us,that we can hardly say it will ever be ours.
7、“by doing…”结构。这个结构的意思是“通过(做)……”，但翻译实践中不能拘泥于这种释义，不少情况下需要灵活变通。
The hippos,by depositing dung in the water,fed the fish that support the storks that destroy the rare trees.
8、下面例句为一倒装句，主语很长，而且又含有非常复杂的句型。这是以形容词作表语的倒装，翻译实践中多把倒装部分译到最前面。
No less obvious is the fact there are great numbers of people so constituted or so brought up that they cannot get so much pleasure out of processes and experiences resulting in a poorer life less full of meaning.
