倒裝
英語句子通常是主語在前,位於在後。但有時出於語法或為打到某種修辭目的需要,逃吧謂語動詞放在主語的前面,這種語序稱作倒裝語序。
1.完全倒裝
將謂語動詞完全移至主語之前,是完全倒裝。通常只用於一般現在時和一般過去時。
a.以表示時間、地點、方向的副詞或介詞短語開頭,這些副詞包括here,there,out,in,up down,now,then,away等;
There goes the bell.
Away walked the stranger.
Here comes a bus.
Now comes your turn.
Out run two boys.
There is a girl.
Then followed a shot of gun.
On the wall hangs a large map of China.
In the bed she lay.
Outside the classroom stood a girl.
East of the town lies a lake.
但當主語是代詞時,則不能把謂語動詞放在主語的前面。
Here they come.
Away they went.
There he is.
Back he fight.
b.進行時和被動語態的倒裝
A boy is sitting at the table.(正常語序)
Sitting at the table is a boy.(倒裝語序)
At the table is sitting a boy. (倒裝語序)
An old man was killed on the road. (正常語序)
Killed on the road was an old man. (倒裝語序)
On the road was killed an old man. (倒裝語序)
2.部分倒裝
部分倒裝是指將謂語動詞的一部分(Be動詞、助動詞、情態動詞,如無,加do、did、does)放在主語的前面。
1)&39;位於句首時,主句用部分倒裝;
Only yesterday did he find out that his watch was missing.
Only in the way can he can win the first prize.
Only by doing exercise could he pass the P.E. examination.
Only after talking with your childrens can you really know them.
2)以否定或半否定的詞或詞組開頭時;
never,never before,not,no,little,seldom,nowhere,not only...but also,not...until,by no means(決不),in no case,neither,nor,in no way ,at no time,no longer,no sooner...than,hardly...when/before,scarcely...when/before.
Not a single song did he sing at yesterday&39;t draw,and nor can I.
He won&39;t make his mother change mind.
Lose my way as I did,I didn't feel depressed.
Speak English though Jack can,he never speak it in public.
4)neither,nor,so 開頭的倒裝句;
如果上下文說的是同一人或同一事物,主謂不到裝;
Your father often smokes.
So he does.
Tom asked me to join in his party and so I did.
如果上下文說的不是同一人或同一事物,主謂到裝;
I can speak English and so can Jack.
I have never heard of such a thing,neither has Tim.
若前一分句中包含不同種類的動詞,而後一分句所說也符合前文所說情況,可用It is/was the same with... 或So it is/was with...
Jack is from America and work in a Chinese factory.
So it is with Johnson.
It is the same with Johnson.
5)省略if的倒裝虛擬條件句(前文講過);
6)so...that,such...that句型中,當so,such位於句首時,so,such 引導的主句倒裝;
So small is the worm that I can hardly see it.
Such a smart girl is she that we all like her.
7)其他考點
