倒装(Inversion)是英语语法的一个重要组成部分,了解、掌握倒装句各种句式的用法,不仅能提高我们对英语语言的欣赏能力 , 而且对我们英语表达能力的提高也大有裨益。
一、什么是倒装
在英语中,句子的语序通常是主语在前,谓语在后,但有时由于语法或修辞的需要,将谓语的一部分(通常是助动词或情态动词)或全部提到主语前面,这样的语序叫作倒装。倒装分为两种:
1.完全倒装
整个谓语移至主语前面叫完全倒装 。
强调部分+谓语动词(vi)+主语。例如:
Away went the boy!
2.部分倒装
只把助动词、系动词或情态动词放在主语前面叫部分倒装。
强调部分+助动词、情态动词或系动词be等+主语+谓语。例如:
Never will he forget his first time to take a plane.
二、寻找标志,巧学倒装
1.寻找完全倒装的标志,巧学全部倒装的句型
(1)在here,there引导的句子中,谓语是be,exist等表示状态的不及物动词时,应使用完全倒装句型。例如:
There seems something wrong about it.
Here are some books for you, Wang Lin.
(2)在here,there引导的句子中,谓语是come,go等时,应使用完全倒装句型。例如:
There goes the bell.
Here comes the bus.
若主语是人称代词,则不用完全倒装。例如:
Here you are.
(3)在副词now,then,thus引导的句子中,谓语动词是come,follow,begin,end等时,应使用完全倒装句型。例如:
Now comes your turn.
Then followed a shot of gun.
Thus ended the party.
(4)在in,out,up,down,away,off等作状语置于句首,谓语动词是come,go,rush,run等不及物动词的句子中时,应使用完全倒装句型。例如:
In came a little boy.
Away ran the prisoner.
Off went the horses.
若主语是人称代词,则不用完全倒装。例如:
In he came and the lecture began.
Up it flew.
(5)在地点状语置于句首,谓语动词是be,stand,sit,lie等时,应使用完全倒装句型。例如:
From the distance came a doctor.
On the ground lay a sick goat.
In the front of the classroom stood a teacher.
2.寻找不完全倒装的标志,巧学部分倒装的句型
(1)在以hardly,scarcely,rarely,little,seldom,never,nowhere, by no means等否定或半否定意义的词位于句首表示强调的句子中时,应使用部分倒装句型。例如:
Hardly can you understand the text.
Scarcely did he live in the countryside.
Never before have I met him.
Nowhere could we find the book.
(2)not until引导的时间状语或从句出现在句首时,主句应使用部分倒装句型。例如:
Not until midnight did it stop raining.
Not until I began to work did I realize how much time I had wasted.
(3)“no sooner...than...” ,“hardly(scarcely)...when...”(一……就……)中的no sooner,hardly或scarcely位于句首时,主句应使用部分倒装句型。例如:
No sooner had they got to the classroom than they started to study.
Hardly had he entered the house when it began to rain.
(4)“not only...but also...”位于句首但不连接主语时,应使用部分倒装句型。例如:
Not only can he speak English but also French.
注1:若连接两个分句时,第一个分句用部分倒装,第二个分句不倒装。例如:
Not only did he speak correctly, but also he spoke fluently.
注2:若连接两个主语时不倒装。例如:
Not only the teacher but also his students have been to the Great Wall. (5)only放在句首且修饰介词短语、副词或状语从句时,主句应使用部分倒装句型。例如:
Only in this way can we learn English well.
Only then did I realize the importance of English study.
Only if you ask many different questions will you acquire all the information you need to know.
注:如果only位于句首但修饰的是主语,则不用倒装。例如:
Only women can use this room.
(6)so(用于肯定句),neither/nor (用于否定句)放在句首,表示前面的情况也适用于另一人(或事物)时,应使用部分倒装句型。例如:
He is interested in English.So am I.
—Do you know Jack quarreled with his brother?
—I don?蒺t know, nor do I care.
(7)在so/such...that结构中,so或such放在句首时,主句应使用不完全倒装句型。例如:
So clearly does he speak English that he can always make himself understood.
3.寻找特殊倒装的标志,巧学特殊倒装的句型
有些倒装句型的构成不是将谓语动词或助动词前置,而是将特殊的内容前置,常见的有以下几种:
(1)as(尽管)引导让步状语从句时,通常将句中的表语、状语或动词提到句首,从而构成特殊倒装句型,此时as还可以换成though。例如:
Yong as he was, he was already manager of a big hotel.
Child as she is, she has been to many places.
Much as I like the car, I will not buy it.
Try hard as he will,he never seems able to do the work satisfactorily.
(2)在if引导的虚拟条件句中,若从句中的谓语含有were,should,had时,可以将这些词提至句首,省略if,从而构成特殊倒装句型。例如:
Were she here, she would support the plan.
Should anyone call, tell him to wait for me here.
Had I been informed earlier, I could have done something.
(3)有时为了使上下文衔接紧密,或为了给表语以更突出的位置,通常把表语或状语提前,主语和谓语完全倒装,这种特殊倒装句型可称为平衡倒装句。例如:
He was born poor and poor he remained all his life.
Very grateful we are for your help.
(4)有时一个情态动词或助动词后的动词原形也可能移到句子前面来,构成特殊倒装。例如:
But however long it takes, solve it we must.
That day will not come very quickly or easily, but come it surely will.
三、运用倒装结构,完成句子
1.Not only__________(护士想要)a pay increase, they want reduced hours as well.
2.No sooner__________Mo Yan stepped on the stage than the audience broke into thunderous applause.
3.Only when you can find peace in your heart__________(你才可以保持)good relationships with others.
4.At no time__________(他们违反)the rules of the game.It was unfair to punish them.
5.Not until he went through real hardship__________(他意识到)the love we have for our families is important.
Key:1.do the nurses want2.had3.will you keep4.did they break5.did he realize
