倒装小结
在英语中,有时候,或出于语法结构、惯用法的要求,或为了强调等,宾语或其他成分,甚至谓语,可以置于主语前,构成倒装语序。倒装语序分为两类:完全倒装和部分倒装。
1、 完全倒装
完全倒装是指句子的谓语置于主语之前,常见的结构如下
1. 当句首为here、there、up、down、in、out、away、then、now等副词,且主语是名词时,常将主语和谓语倒装。若主语是人称代词,主语和谓语不到装。例如:
1 Out rushed the students as soon as the bell rang.
2 Then came the memory of the good times we had together.
2. 副词性短语位于句首时,常将主语和谓语倒装。例如:
1 Across the river lies a newly built bridge.
2 At one side of the square stood the old church.
2、 部分倒装
部分倒装指的是把谓语的一部分置于主语之前,或者把句子其他某个成分提前。部分倒装主要适用于以下几种情况。
1. 以否定词(hardly、never、seldom等)或否定短语(in no way、by no means、in no case等)开头的句子,要用部分倒装。例如:
1 Never have I seen a better present than it.
2 In no way will I give up my dream.
2. only 置于句首,修饰副词、介词短语或状语从句时,句子用部分倒装。例如:
1 Only after the accident did he become cautious.
2 Only when one falls ill does one know the value of health
3. 在so/such...that...句型中,将“so/such +所修饰部分”放在句首时,句子用部分倒装。例如:
1 So delighted am I to hear the news that I can’t wait to write to convey my congratulations to you for your wonderful performance. (I am so delighted to hear the news....)
2 Such a heavy box is it that you can’t carry it yourself. (It is such a heavy box that ....)
4. 在not only....but also...句型中,not only置于句首时,not only引导的句子要倒装,but also引导的句子不用倒装。例如:
1 Not only can he type fast but also he has a good command of English.
2 Not only am I interested in photography, but I took a course at university, so it is actually of special interest to me.
5. 在“hardly...when...、no sooner...than...、not until +从句,主句...”这几个结构中,表否定意义或否定形式的词或词组居句首时,主句倒装,从句用正常语序。例如:
1 No sooner had I got home than it began to rain.
2 Not until I had read the report did I understand the true state of affairs.
6. 如果前面句子中所说的情况也适合后面的句子,后面的句子常用so、nor、neither等引导构成倒装句,并用do/does/dis 代替实意动词。例如:
1 I saw the film yesterday, so did she.
2 I can’t speak English, neither did I.
3 He didn’t converse at meals; nor did he talk in bed.
注意:如果不是表示情况的适合,而是表示对前面句子内容的同意或肯定,则不能用倒装句。例如:
----Jack, you forgot to turn off the light last night.
---
