It is I/me who

【问】 在It is...that这种强调句型里是应当使用主格代词I，还是应当使用宾格代词me呢?

【答】 对于这个问题，语言学家们持有不同的观点。Oxford American Dictionary认为在这种句型中使用me是错误的(... it would be incorrect to use me in the sentence “It is I who will

have to pay. ”) A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language则承认使用me的“合法性”：

1.It was I who am to blame.

It was me who's to blame.(非正式语体)(CGEL)

这事怪我。

2. It was her that came.

(非正式语体)(同上)

是她来了。

3. It's not me who's proud.(非正式语体)(同上)

骄傲的不是我。

4. It's me who is responsible. (RWRT)

是我负责。

5. It was me that did it. (LDCE)

是我做的那件事。

TOEFL考生应注意，TOEFL的出题者仍认为It is(was) me who是错误用法。

It was me who first visited Uncle Tom.(TOEFL 教程)
