倒装句的用法
(一)倒装句的意义
1、适应一定的语法结构的需要,主要是指疑问句句型结构的需要。
e.g. May I come in?
Was the People's Liberation Army founded in 1927?
2、为了强调某一部分,而把这部分放到句首,构成倒装。
e.g. Never have I been late for school this term.
So early did he come to school that no other students came.
(二)倒装的使用情况
1、在 “there be” 结构里,there是引导词,主语在be后。
e.g. There is a box on the table.
2、在疑问句中。
e.g. Is she singing in the classroom?
What does your mother do?
3、在here, there等副词开头的某些句子里(要用一般现在时态)。如果主语是人称代词,主语和主要动词的词序不变。(完全倒装)
e.g. There goes the bell.
Here is an apple for you.
There she comes.
4、重复倒装句型,用在以so, nor, neither开头,表示谓语所述的情况也适用于另一个人或一事物的肯定或否定句中。so用于肯定句,表示“也一样”、“也这样”;nor, neither用于否定句,表示“同样也不,也不这样”。
e.g. I am watching TV. So is she.
My parents didn't watch TV last night. Neither (Nor) did I.
5、直接引语的全部或一部分放在句首时,主句中的主谓也常直接倒装。(完全倒装)
e.g. “Very well,” said the French student.
“Bring me two eggs and a cup of tea, please.” said he.
6、在以never, little, hardly, not only, few, not, seldom等否定副词开头的句子中,采用部分倒装。如不放在句首就不要倒装。
e.g. Little did he say at the meeting.
Never shall I forget the day when I joined the Army.
比较:I shall never forget the day when I joined the Army.
7、用于以only所修饰的副词、介词短语或状语从句的句子中。倒装句讲解
e.g. Only when the war was over in 1918 was he able to get happily back to wrk.
Only in this way can we learn English well.
注意:如果only后的词组不是状语,不需倒装。
e.g. Only Wang Lili knows this.
8、为了表达生动,有时把表地点、方位的.副词,如 up, down, out, away, in等放在句首,同时把谓语动词放在主语之前。若主语为人称代词,主语和谓语动词的位置不变,只将副词放在句首。(完全倒装)
e.g. Away hurried the boy.
Out rushed the girl.
9、在虚拟结构中,条件从句的谓语含有were, had 和should这三个词是,可省去if,将这些词移至主语之前。
e.g. Had I time (= If I had time), I would go and help you.
Were I you (= If I were you), I would go abroad.
Should he come (=If he should come), tell him to ring me up.
10、as引导让步状语从句时要倒装(形容词/ 副词/ 名词/ 动词 + as + 主语 + 谓语)。
e.g. Proud as they are, they are afraid to see me.
Child as he is, he seems to know everything.(child前不加冠词)
Hard as he worded, he made little progress.
11、用于某些表示祝愿的句子里。
e.g. May you succeed!
Long live the People's Republic of China!
12、So + 形容词、副词及such 置于句首时要倒装。
So happy did he feel. Such was me.
现将倒装句分类讲解如下:
1. 以here,there,now,then等地点或时间副词开头的句子,谓语动词是be, come, go, remain等,而主语又是名词时,用全部倒装。注意:如果句子的主语是代词时,则不倒装。如:Here comes the bus!/ Here it comes!
2. 有些动词与副词out,in,up,down,away等构成不及物动词短语。为了使句子更生动,常将这些副词提前到句首,这时用全部倒装。注意:句子的主语是代词时,则不倒装。如:Up went the rocket. / Up it went.
3. 将表示地点的介词短语放在句首进行强调时,使用全部倒装。谓语动词常为不及物动词。如: From the window came the sound of music.
4. 当句子主语部分较长,谓语部分较短,或为了强调句子的表语时,常使用全部倒装。句子的结构为“表语+系动词+主语”。如: Gone are the days when we had nothing to eat.
5. if虚拟条件状语从句中,如果将连词if省略,需用部分倒装。如:Were I you, I would go there.
6. as引导的让步状语从句的倒装有如下几种形式:
1) 从句的谓语部分为“不及物动词+副词”时,常将此副词提前到从句句首。如:Hard as you try, you will not succeed.
2) 从句的谓语部分为“情态动词+不及物动词”时,常将此动词提前到从句句首。如: Wait as you may, he will not see you.
3) 从句的谓语部分是“系动词+形容词”时,常将此表语形容词提前到从句句首。如: Proud as the nobles are, they are afraid to see me.
4) 从句的谓语部分是“系动词+单数名词”时,则常将这个表语提前,但要省略名词前的不定冠词。如: Child as he is, he can tell right from wrong.
7. 具有(半)否定意义的词或短语位于句首时,用部分倒装。如:seldom, rarely, not, never, by no means, in no time, hardly...when, no sooner...than, not only...but also等。如: Not only does he do well in his lessons, but also he often helps others with their lessons.
8. “only+状语”位于句首时, 用部分倒装。如:Only then did I know the importance of English.
9. so...that结构中,有时要强调so所修饰的形容词或副词,常将so 连同它所修饰的形容词或副词一起提前放在句首。如: So bright was the moon that the flowers seem as bright as by day.
10. 最突出、最常见的修辞效果就是强调,其表现形式如下:
1)only +状语或状语从句置于句首,被该状语修饰的句子用部分倒装。
例子:
Only in this way can you solve this problem.
只有用这种方法,你才可以解决这个问题。
Only after he had spoken out the word did he realize he had made a big mistake.
只有当他已经说出那个字后才意识到自己犯了个大错误。
2) hardly,in no way,little,scarcely,seldom,never,no more,no longer,not,not only,no sooner,not only … (but also),not until… 等具有否定意义的词或词组位于句首,句子用部分倒装。
