倒装句
知识要点:
1、倒装句(Inversion)
英语的基本语序是“主语+谓语”。如果将谓语的全部或一部分放在主语之前,这种语序称为“倒装”。
一、倒装的类型
类型 例 句 说 明
完全倒装 Out rushed the students to welcome the foreign friends.学生们涌出去欢迎外国朋友。 整个谓语移至主语之前。
部分倒 装 Seldom does he go to school late.他上学很少迟到。 只把系动词,情态动词,助动词或表语放在主语之前。
二、倒装结构的基本用法
1、由于语法结构的需要而使用的倒装
情 况 例 句 说 明
疑问句中 Have you got a dictionary Where did he go last Monday Are you listening to the radio Who told you the news Which boy broke this glass 用完全或部分倒装,但以疑问词或疑问词修饰的名词作主语的疑问句要用正常语序。
“there be”结构中 There are three wells in our village.There stands a big paper making factory by the river.
在以here, there, now,then, in, up,away, down等副词开头的句中 Here is a letter for you.这儿有你一封信。There goes the bell. 铃响了。Now comes your turn to play.现在轮到你玩了。Away went the crowd one by one .Look, there he comes! 看,他来了。Down she went 她下来了。 使用完全倒装结构。但如果主语是代词则用正常语序。
在以norneither或no more开头的句子中 I can’t swim, nor (neither)can she .我不会游泳,她也不会。He hasn’t been to the countryside, neither does he want to go there.He did not turn up. No more did his wife. 他没有来,他妻子也没有来。 表示……也不这样,neither和nor意思相同,可以替换使用,no more表示动作的程度并不比前面提到的稍强.意为也不…。
用在as(尽管)引导的让步状语从句中 Proud as the nobles are ,he is afraid to see me .尽管这些贵族很傲慢,他却害怕见我。Young as he is, he knows a lot .虽然他年轻,却知道很多东西。 从属连句as用于特殊语序,含义与though, although相同,但“as”这种结构可表示非常强烈的对照,必须用倒装(表语提前)
2、为了加强语气而使用的倒装。(使句子更加流畅,更加生动)
情 况 例 句 说 明
含有否定意义的副词或连词放在句首时 Never before have we seen such a sight.以前我们从来没有见过这样的情景。Little did I think that he could be back alive.Not until New Year’s Day shall I give you a gift.Not only was everything that he had taken away from him, but also his German citizenship. 常用否定词有: never, not,hardly, scarcely seldom, little, not until, not only…but also, no sooner …than, hardly (scarcely)…when等。一般主句用部分倒装结构。
副词only放在句首时 Only then did he realize his mistakes .Only in this way can you learn maths well .Only Mother can understand me .Only three of us failed in the exam. only 起强调作用,其句型为“only +状语+部分倒装”。如置于句首的only修饰主语,则不用倒装结构。
虚拟语气条件从句中 Were they here, they would help us .Had I been informed earlier. I could have done something.Should you fail, take more pain and try again. 把从句中if省略将were,had或should放在主语的前面。
直接引语的全部或一部分放在句首时 “He is a clever boy”said the teacher.“Go, Dick, go!”cried Tom,“Go home and get help” “What do you think of the film ”he asked. “I’m leaving for Hongkong next month”Mary told me yesterday. 主句主语和谓语次序颠倒,用完全倒装。但如果主句主语为代词时或谓语部分比主语长,一般不用倒装。
表示祝愿的句子中 May you succeed! 祝你成功。Long live the Communist Party of China.中国共产党万岁! 谓语动词或谓语的一部分放在主语的前面。
副词so在句首 He is interested in pop-songs, and so am I .They will learn chemistry next term, so will I .I can drive a car, so can my younger brother. 表示前面所说的情况也适合于另一个人或另一事物的肯定句中。
—Tom won the first prize for the English competition. -So he did.英语竞赛汤姆获得了一等奖。确实如此。It was cold yesterday. So it was …的确冷。 如果后面的句子只是单纯重复前句的意思,不表示也适用于另一人或事,则不用倒装结构。
在频度状语often, always, many a time等开头的句子中 Often did we warn them not to do so.我们曾多次警告他们不要这样做。Many a time has she helped me with my English.她不止一次地帮助或学习英语。
在方式状语thus开头的句子中及程度状语so放句首 Thus ended his life.这样结束了他的生命。So loudly did he speak that even people in the next room could hear him .他讲话的声音那样大,连隔壁屋子里的人都听得见。
介词短语作状语,放在句首 In the middle of the room stood a little girl.在房间中央站着一个小女孩。In the distance was a horse.马在远处。
在强调表语的句子中 Such was Albert Einstein, a simple man of great achievements.阿尔伯特·曼因斯坦就是这样一个人,一个纯朴而又取得巨大成就的人。Such is life. 生活就是这样。Nearby were two canoes in which they had come to the island.附近有两只他们来这个岛乘坐的独木船。 表语提前,不仅为了强调,而且为了使句子结构达到平衡协调,或使上下文紧密衔接。
