倒装句学案(Inversion)
英语句子的结构一般是“主语 + 谓语”,语法上称这种语序为自然语序。但有时由于出于语法结构的需要或修辞的需要,常把谓语的一部分或全部倒转过来,这种语序就是倒装语序。英语的倒装分为部分倒装和完全倒装。
一 . 全部倒装
全部倒装是只将句子中的谓语动词全部置于主语之前。此结构通常只用于一般现在时和一般过去时。常见的结构有:
1) here, there, now, then, thus等副词置于句首, 谓语动词常用be, come, go, lie, run等表示来去或状态的动词。例如:
1.Then came the chairman. 那时总裁来了。
2.Here is your letter. 你的信。
3.There goes the bell. 铃响了。
2) out, in, up, down, away等表示运动方向的副词或地点状语(多为介词短语)置于句首,谓语表示运动的动词。例如:
4.Away went the boy. 男孩离开了。
5. Out rushed a missile from under the bomber. 轰炸机肚底下窜出一枚导弹。
6. Ahead sat an old woman. 前面坐着一个老妪。
7. Around the lake are some tall trees. 湖的四周有些高树。
注意:上述全部倒装的句型结构的主语必须是名词,如果主语是人称代词则不能完全倒装。例如
9.In he came and the lesson began. 他进来了,开始上课了。
10. Away they went. 他们走开了。
3)由引导词there引起的句子,there be ( stand, lie, live, rise, fly, … …)
11. There lived a man named John. 有一个叫约翰的人。
12.There used to be a church here. 这儿曾经有一座教堂。
13.There ought to be no problem. 应该没有问题。
4)将表语置于句首加以强调时,其后通常用倒装语序。如:
14. Such was Einstein , a great man. 这就是爱因斯坦,一个伟大的人。
15. Among them was my friend Jim. 他们当中就有我的朋友吉姆。
注:在表语置于句首的倒装结构中,要注意其中的谓语应与其后的主语保持一致,而不是与位于句首的表语保持一致。

①. In front of our house ____ with a history of 1000 years.
A. does a tall tree stand B. stands a tall tree. C. a tall tree is standing D. a tall tree stands

二 . 部分倒装
部分倒装是指将谓语的一部分如助动词或情态动词或系动词倒装至主语之前。
I was moved → was I moved he is allowed →________________
he moved → did he move he allowed →________________
he moves → does he move he allows →________________
he has moved → has he moved I have allowed →________________

22.We had no sooner reached the airport than the plane took off. / No sooner had we reached the airport than the plane took off. 我们刚到机场,飞机就起飞了。

He didn’t leave the room until the rain stopped. / Not until the rain stopped did he leave the room. 雨停了之后他才离开这房间。
(2) 某些起副词作用的介词短语,由于含有否定词,若位于句首,其后要用部分倒装:
On no account must this switch be touched. 这个开关是绝不能触摸的。
