News that Matters: pollution in Norgate
Unit 1 Nature in the balance
Language Points
1. Joining us in the studio tonight are James Smith, a local resident; ... (Lines 3-4)
有时为了强调,可将谓语部分的现在分词或过去分词置于句首,从而构成全部倒装。
窗户边坐着一个年轻人,手里拿着一本杂志。
站在教室前面的是我们的数学老师。
Standing in front of the classroom was our Maths teacher.
By the window sat a young man with a magazine in his hand.
完全倒装的基本形式是“谓语+主语”,主要涉及以下几种类型:
1、here类
当表示地点的here和 there位于句首时,其后用完全倒装形式。这类倒装句的谓语通常是动词be和come, go等表示移动或动态的不及物动词。如:
Here’s Tom.
Here comes the bus.
There goes the bell.
There goes the last train.
这类倒装句的主语只能是名词,若主语为代词,则不能倒装。如:
Here it comes. 它来了。
完全倒装
2、away类
副词away, down, in, off, out, over, round, up 等位于句首时,其后也用完全倒装语序。这类倒装句的谓语通常表示动态的不及物动词。如:
Away went the runners.
Round and round flew the plane.
The door opened and in came Mr Smith.
Down came the rain and up went the umbrellas.
这类倒装句的主语也只能是名词,若主语为代词,则不用倒装。如:
Away he went. 他跑远了。
Down it came. 它掉了下来。
3、状语或表语类
为了保持句子平衡或使上下文衔接紧密,有时可将状语或表语置于句首,句中主语和谓语完全倒装。如:
Among these people was his friend Jim.
On the table sat a little bird.
在表语置于句首的这类倒装结构中,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。比较:
In the box was a cat.
In the box were some cats.
4、非谓语动词类
有时为了强调,可将谓语部分的现在分词、过去分词或不定式置于句首,从而构成倒装。如:
Standing beside the table was his wife.
Buried in the sands was an ancient village.
To be carefully considered are the following questions.
2. The smog in the air has colored the sky a smoky grey; it’s also given me a cough that I can’t get rid of.
smog n. 雾霾,烟雾
缩合构词法: 由 smoke和fog两个词各取一部分缩合而成的一个新词。
brunch = breakfast + lunh 早午餐
motel = motor + hotel 汽车旅馆

be rid of sth./sb. 摆脱某人/某事物 (rid adj.)
rid sb. / sth. of sb. / sth. (formal) 去除,清除 (rid v.)
