英语完全倒装分类及用法
所谓完全倒装,就是将谓语动词置于主语前。完全倒装一般具有以下两个条件:①谓语动词是单个(即不带情态动词、助动词或be)的不及物动词,且只限于一般现在时或一般过去时;②主语只能是名词。
一、以here等方向性副词开头引出的完全倒装
在描述情景时,为了使景象更生动,有时把here, there, now, then, out, in, up, down, off, away等方向性副词作为句子开头,句子用完全倒装。此时,①句子主语必须是名词;②谓语动词通常是be, come, go, run, rush, fly, follow, fall等表示位移的不及物动词,且为一般时态;③其中的here, there不是表示地点,而是用以引起对方注意。如:
Here comes the bus. 汽车来了。
There goes the bell. 铃响了。
Here are some advertisements about cars. 这儿是几则有关汽车的广告。
二、以表语或状语开头引出的完全倒装
有时为了强调或者为了使句子平衡或者为了使上下文连接得更加紧密,就将表语和地点状语(多为介词短语)置于句首,谓语动词也常置于主语前,构成完全倒装。如:
Among the people was a man named Brown. 在这些人中有一个叫布朗的人。
On the top of the hill stands an old temple. 这山顶上有一座庙。
注:在表语置于句首的倒装结构中,要注意其中的谓语应与其后的主语保持一致,而不是与位于句首的表语保持一致。
三、there be 结构及其变体的完全倒装
There is a tall tree in front of the house. 这房子前面有一棵树。
注:在there be结构中,可以代替be的还有以下动词:live, lie, stand, appear, rise, remain, happen, come, go等。如:
Once there lived an old fisherman in a village by the sea. 从前,在海边的一个村子里住着一个老人。
四、直接引语放在句首引起的完全倒装
若直接引语的部分或全部放在句首,并且说话人是名词时,将say或ask置于说话人前,构成完全倒装。如:
“Are you ready?” asked the teacher. “准备好了没有?”老师问道。
“It is unbelievable!”said Alfred Butts. 阿尔弗雷德·布滋说,“这真叫人难以置信!”
英语部分倒装用法归纳
1. 否定副词位于句首时的倒装
在正式文体中,never, seldom, rarely, little, hardly, scarcely, no sooner, no longer, nowhere 等含有否定意义的副词若位于句首,则其后要用部分倒装:
I shall never forgive him. / Never shall I forgive him. 我永远不会宽恕他。
He seldom goes out for dinner. / Seldom does he go out for dinner. 他很少出去吃饭。
She hardly has time to listen to music. / Hardly does she have time to listen to music. 她几乎没时间听音乐。
He little realizes how important this meeting is. / Little does he realize how important this meeting is. 他不甚明白这个会议的重要性。
We had no sooner reached the airport than the plane took off. / No sooner had we reached the airport than the plane took off. 我们刚到机场,飞机就起飞了。
【注意】
(1) 对于not…until句型,当not until…位于句首时,其后的主句要用倒装语序:
He didn’t leave the room until the rain stopped. / Not until the rain stopped did he leave the room. 雨停了之后他才离开这房间。
(2) 某些起副词作用的介词短语,由于含有否定词,若位于句首,其后要用部分倒装:
On no accounts must this switch be touched. 这个开关是绝不能触摸的。
In [Under] no circumstances will I lend money to him.无论如何我也不会再借钱给他了。
但是,in no time(立即,马上)位于句首时,其后无需用倒装语序:
In no time he worked out the problem. 他马上就算出了那道题。
2.“only+状语”位于句首时的倒装
当一个状语受副词only的修饰且置于句首时,其后用部分倒装语序:
Only then did he realize that he was wrong. 到那时他才意识到他错了。
Only in this way are you able to do it well. 你只有用这种方法才能把它做好。
Only when he returned home did he realize what had happened. 当他回到家里时,才知道出了什么事。
3. “so+adj. / adv.”位于句首时的倒装
副词so后接形容词或副词位于句首时,其后用部分倒装:
So cold was the weather that we had to stay at home. 天气太冷,我们只好呆在家里。
So fast does light travel that we can hardly imagine its speed. 光速很快,我们几乎没法想像它的速度。
So sudden was the attack that we had no time to escape. 袭击来得非常突然,我们来不及逃跑。
So cold was the weather that we had to stay at home. 天气太冷,我们只好呆在家里。
So fast does light travel that we can hardly imagine its speed. 光速很快,我们几乎没法想像它的速度。
4. so / neither / nor 表示前面所说的情况也适合于后者时,用“so / neither / nor+助动词+主语”这样的倒装句式。如:
He can sing English songs and so can I. 他会唱英语歌,我也会。
He didn’t see the film, and neither did I. 他没有看这部电影,我也没有看。
She is every beautiful and so was her mother when she was young. 她很美,她妈妈年轻时也很美。
5. 当虚拟条件句含有 were, should, had 时,可省略 if,将 were, should, had 置于句首。如:
Were I Tom(=If I were Tom), I would refuse. 如果我是汤姆,我就会拒绝。
Had I realized that(=If I had realized that), I would have done something. 我要是明白了这一点,我可能会采取某种行动
涉及not only…but also…的部分倒装
not only…but also…前后连接两个句子时,not only后的句子要用部分倒装,但but also后的分句不用倒装。如:
Not only did he come, but he saw her. 他不仅来了,而且还见到了她。
Not only does she speak Spanish, (but) she also knows how to type. 她不但会说西班牙语,还会打字呢。
Not only is he a teacher, but he is also a poet. 他不仅是一位教师,而且是一位诗人。
Not only did he speak more correctly, but he spoke more easily. 不仅他讲得更正确,也讲得更不费劲了。
Not only did they present a musical performance, but they also gave a brief introduction to the history of Western brass instruments. 他们不但做了音乐表演,而且简短地介绍了西方铜管乐器的历史。
as引导让步状语从句时的倒装
as作“虽然”解,引导让步状语从句时,必须将表语、状语或动词原形提到as前面。此时应注意几点:一是若提前的表语是没有形容词修饰的单数可数名词,要省略不定冠词;二是若提前的是动词原形(多为不及物动词),与之连用的通常是may, might, will, would等,且这些词都要保留在原来的位置上(主语后);三是though有时也可像as这样使作倒装。如:
Tired as I was, I tried to help them. 虽然我很累,我还是努力帮助他们。
Try as he would, he couldn’t open the door. 他试过多次了, 却仍打不开那门。
Search as they would, they would find nobody in the house. 无论怎样搜查,他们在房子里仍然没有找到一个人。
Hard as (though) they tried, they couldn’t make her change her mind. 尽管他们做了很大努力,却没法让她改变主意。
Boy as he was, he behaved like a girl. 他虽是个男孩,但举止却像个女孩。下载本文
