中考英语专题复习讲义——倒装句
英语句子中,主语通常在谓语动词之前,这种语序被称为自然语序;反之,如果谓语动词在主语之前,这种语序就被称为倒装语序。
那什么时候会用到倒装语序呢?一是语法上有要求时,例如在疑问句和There be等句型中;二是修辞上有要求时,比如为了强调、描写生动、衔接上下文、平衡句子等。
一、部分倒装
部分倒装是指将谓语的一部分(如助动词、系动词或情态动词)放在主语的前面,实义动词仍保留在主语之后。
1. never、seldom、little、nowhere、not、hardly等表否定意义的词位于句首时,用部分倒装。
若要把下面的句子变成倒装句,应该怎么做呢?
(1)Never have I seen such a beautiful sunset.
分析:never位于句首时,句子用部分倒装,把助动词have提到主语I之前。这个句子意为“我从未见过如此美丽的日落”。
(2)Seldom does he go to the movies.
分析:seldom位于句首时,句子用部分倒装,把助动词does补充出来,主语he紧跟其后,原句中的谓语动词goes变为原形go。这个句子意为“他很少去看电影”。
(3)Not a word did I say to him.
分析:not a word是一个整体,位于句首时,句子用部分倒装,把助动词did提到主语I之前。这个句子意为“我没有跟他说一句话”。
(4)Little does he care about what I said.
分析:little位于句首时,句子用部分倒装,把助动词does补充出来,主语he紧跟其后,原句中的谓语动词cares变为原形care。这个句子意为“他几乎不在乎我说的话”。
(5)Nowhere are we going at the weekend.
分析:nowhere位于句首时,句子用部分倒装,把系动词are提到主语we的前面。这个句子意为“周末我们哪儿都不去”。
2.only位于句首且修饰状语时,用部分倒装。
怎样将下面的句子改为倒装句?
(1)Only when the term was over could he go back to his hometown.
分析:only when the term was over(时间状语从句)位于句首时,句子用部分倒装,把情态动词could提到主语he之前。这个句子意为“只有当学期结束时,他才能回到他的家乡”。
(2)Only recently have I realized the importance of health.
分析:only recently(副词作状语)位于句首时,句子用部分倒装,把助动词have提到主语I之前。这个句子意为“我只是最近才意识到健康的重要性”。
注意:only只有修饰状语时,句子才需要倒装,修饰其他成分时不倒装。例如在“Only Mr.Wang knows this.”这个句子中,only修饰主语Mr.Wang,所以句子不倒装。
3.no sooner … than …、hardly … when …、scarcely … when …位于句首时,用部分倒装。
试一试转换下面的句子吧。
(1)No sooner had I lain down than the telephone rang.
分析:no sooner位于句首时,句子用部分倒装,把助动词had提到主语I之前。这个句子意为“我刚躺下电话就响了”。
(2)Hardly had she finished her speech when the audience started to applaud.
分析:hardly位于句首时,句子用部分倒装,把助动词had提到主语she之前。这个句子意为“她刚完成演讲观众就开始鼓掌了”。
(3)Scarcely had he entered the room when he noticed something strange.
分析:scarcely位于句首时,句子用部分倒装,把助动词had提到主语he之前。这个句子意为“他刚进入房间就注意到一些奇怪的东西”。
4. not … until …、so+形容词/副词位于句首时,用部分倒装。
改改这两个句子吧。
(1)Not until the rain stopped did he leave the house.
分析:not until位于句首时,句子用部分倒装,把助动词did提到主语he之前。这个句子意为“直到雨停了他才离开家”。
(2)So fast did he run that he won the race easily.
分析:so fast位于句首时,句子用部分倒装,把助动词did补充出来,主语he紧跟其后,原句中的谓语动词ran变为原形run。这个句子意为“他跑得如此之快,以至于轻松赢得了比赛”。
5. not only … but also … 连接两个句子且not only位于句首时,not only后用部分倒装。
(1)Not only does he like reading, but also he is good at writing.
分析:not only后的句子是部分倒装,助动词does在主语he之前。这个句子意为“他不仅喜欢阅读,而且擅长写作”。
(2)Not only can she sing, but also she can dance.
分析:情态动词can在主语she之前,这个句子意为“她不仅会唱歌,而且会跳舞”。
6. “so+be动词/助动词/情态动词+主语”和“nor / neither+be动词/助动词/情态动词+主语”是部分倒装。
(1)He likes football, so do I.
分析:“so+be动词/助动词/情态动词+主语”表示前者所叙述的肯定情况同样适用于后者。前面说“他喜欢足球”,当要表达“我也喜欢足球”时,使用so do I这种部分倒装结构。其中do是助动词,代替前面句子中的like这个动作。
(2)She doesn't like coffee, neither / nor do I.
分析:“nor / neither+be动词/助动词/情态动词+主语”表示前者所叙述的否定情况同样适用于后者。前面说“她不喜欢咖啡”,当要表达“我也不喜欢咖啡”时,使用neither / nor do I这种部分倒装结构。其中do是助动词,代替前面句子中的like这个动作。
注意:“so+主语+be动词/助动词/情态动词”意为“……的确如此”。
例句:—He continued watching TV after the phone rang many times.(在电话铃声响很多次后他继续看电视。)
—So he did.(他的确如此。)
7. if引导的虚拟条件句中,从句的谓语动词如果是were、had、should,可省略if,将这些词提前,构成部分倒装。
(1)Had I time, I would go to Chengdu with you.
分析:此句中had位于句首,为省略if的虚拟条件句。我们把if还原,句子为“If I had time, I would go to Chengdu with you.”,它的意思是“如果我有时间,我会跟你一起去成都”。
(2)Were I you, I would go abroad.
分析:此句中were位于句首,为省略if的虚拟条件句,还原后的句子是“If I were you, I would go abroad.”,句子的意思是“如果我是你,我会出国”。
(3)Should he come, tell him to ring me up.
分析:此句中should位于句首,为省略if的虚拟条件句,还原后的句子是“If he should come, tell him to ring me up.”,句子的意思是“如果他要来,告诉他给我打电话”。
●as引导让步状语从句时,是一种特殊的倒装。此句型主谓并不倒装,把表语提到as前面并放于句首即可。如果作表语的是单数可数名词时,表语被提到句首就不再需要冠词。句中若没有表语,就倒装状语;若没有状语,就倒装谓语动词。
(1)表语的倒装
例句:Child as he is, he knows much about the world.
分析:child是is的表语,把child提到句首,冠词被省略。还原后的句子是“Although he is a child, he knows much about the world.”,它的意思是“尽管他是一个小孩,但他对世界了解很多”。
(2)状语的倒装
例句:Carefully as he did his homework, he still made many mistakes.
分析:carefully是副词,作状语修饰did his homework。还原后的句子是“Although he did his homework carefully, he still made many mistakes.”,它的意思是“尽管他很仔细地做家庭作业,但他仍然犯了许多错误”。
(3)谓语动词的倒装
例句:Fail as he did, he didn't give up.
分析:fail是谓语动词,将它提前再将助动词did补充出来。还原后的句子是“Although he failed, he didn't give up.”,它的意思是“尽管他失败了,但他没有放弃”。
注意:要表达“尽管”的意思,用as就需要倒装,用although就不需要,因此还原后的句子用的是although。
