语法讲解:倒装句
主语和谓语有两种顺序:一是主语在前,叫自然语序。反之,如果谓语在主语前就是倒装语序,又分全部倒装和部分倒装。全部倒装是把全部谓语放在主语之前,部分倒装是把助动词或情态动词放在主语之前。
一、全部倒装
1.there be 句型:
可以用在这类句型中的动词除be外,还可用 live,happen,exist,remain,stand等等作这类句型的谓语。如:
There are many students in the classroom.
Long ,long ago there lived a king who loved horses very much.
There happened to be nobody in the bedroom when the fire broke out.
2.Here/There/Now+vi.(常为come,go)+主语(必须是名词)
此句型中here/there用来唤起注意意思是“喂,注意了”。如:
Here comes Mary. → I can see Mary coming.
There goes the bell. →I can hear the bell ringing.
Here comes the bus.
here句中也可用系动词。如:
Here are some story books I want. →Here is what you asked for,or you are looking for.
3.then引起谓语为 come,follow的句子。如:
Then came a new difficulty. 然后产生了一个新的困难。
Then followed eight years of the AntiJapanese War.接着是八年抗战。
4.out,in,up,down,away之类的副词作状语放在句首,主语比较长,也就是说主语不能是很短的人称代词,谓语为不及物动词come, go,run ,rush,etc。句式为:副词+vi.+主语(必须是名词)。如:
Out rushed the tiger from among the bushes.
In came the rose fragrance through the windows.
5.介词短语作状语放在句首,谓语为不及物动词,主语比较长,也就是说主语不能是很短的人称代词。句式为:介词短语+vi.+主语(必须是名词)。如:
In the middle of our school stands a high building.在学校中央有一座高楼。
6.表语放在句首,表语常为形容词、分词、副词、介词短语。要求主语比较长,也就是说主语不能是很短的人称代词。句式为:表语+系动词+主语(必须是名词)。
Gone are the days when the teachers were looked down upon.
On the both sides of the street are beautiful flowers.
South of city are two big lakes.
二、部分倒装
1.“only+副词/ 介词短语/ 状语从句”开头的句子。如:
Only then did I realize the importance of English.
Only in this way can you make progress in your English.
注意:1)在only+状语从句+主句结构中,主句用倒装结构但从句用正常语序。
2)only修饰主语,不倒装。
Only Tom knows the answer.只有汤姆知道答案。
2.否定词(短语)开头的句子要用部分倒装。
表示否定的副词never,nor,neither,表示半否定意义的副词hardly,few,seldom,little,含有no和not的词组by no means(决不),in no time(很快),at no time(在任何时候都不,在任何情况下都不)not until,not only...but also,no sooner...than=hardly...when/scarcely...
when。即“否定词+助动词/情态动词+主语+其他”。如:
Never have I been in this city.
Little/Seldom do I watch TV.
Not until I began to work did I realize how much time I had wasted.
注意:1)关联词的搭配。
2)前一分句倒装,后一分句不倒装。
3.以so开头,用 “so+助动词/情态动词/系动词+主语”表示前面叙述的情况也适合于另一个人或物,意为“也,同样,也如此”。表示前面叙述的否定情况也适合于另一个人或物,用“neither/nor+助动词/情态动词/系动词+主语”。
Society has changed and so have the people in it.
注意: 1)当so表示对前句内容的肯定、符合,或进一步强调前面所说的情况,或者赞同前面的说法时,应用自然语序。意为 “的确,正是”。
—Tom works hard.汤姆工作很卖力。
—So he does and so do you.的确如此,你也是。
2)倒装部分的助动词、情态动词、连系动词的时态和形式要与前句相一致。
If you don’t go,neither/nor shall I.(If you don’t go,I shall not go.)
注意:表示前面的多种情况也适合于另一人或物,或者既有肯定又有否定情况或涉及到不同类型的动词时可用:It is the same with sth./sb.或 So it is with sth./sb.句型。
She does well in English,but is poor in maths.So it is with Lucy.
4.由as引导让步状语从句要用部分倒装或前置。句式为:表语/状语/动词原形+as+主语+其他。如:
Clever as he is,he doesn’t study well.虽然他很聪明,但他学习不好。
Child as he is, he knows a lot.虽然他是个孩子,但他懂得不少事情。
Much as I like it,I won’t buy it.虽然我非常喜欢它,但我不买。
Try as she might, she failed.虽然她试过了,但还是失败了。
注意:表语前的名词无形容词修饰时冠词要省略
5.在so...that从句中,如果so+adj./adv.放在句首,其主句要倒装。
So loudly did he speak that everyone could hear him.
6.某些表示祝愿句子也用倒状语序。
May you succeed.祝你成功!
Long live the Communist Party of China!中国共产党万岁!
