將句中的謂語或謂語的一部分放在主語之前的語法現(xiàn)象稱為倒裝。從倒裝的形式來看,可分為全部倒裝和部分倒裝。全部倒裝是指把整個謂語放在主語的前面;部分倒裝是指把助動詞、情態(tài)動詞或be等功能詞放在主語之前。
1.全部倒裝句的5種情形
全部倒裝也稱完全倒裝,即將謂語移到主語前。英語中構(gòu)成完全倒裝的情形主要有:
(1)以 here,there,now,then,out,in,up,down,off,away 等方向性副詞開頭的句子,且句子主語是名詞時,為了表達生動,可將這些副詞放在句首,謂語動詞放在主語之前,形成完全倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)。如:
Here comes the bus.公共汽車來了。
Now comes your turn.現(xiàn)在該你了。
Then came a new difficulty.這時又產(chǎn)生了一個新的困難。
The door opened and in came Mr.Li.門開了,李先生進來了。
There goes the bell for the break.休息鈴響了。
Away flew the birds.鳥兒飛走了。
The door opened and in rushed a stranger.門開了,一個陌生人沖了進來。
注意:
①若主語為代詞,則不用倒裝。如:
The door opened and in she came.門開了,她走了進來。
②以上倒裝句中的謂語動詞come和go不能用進行時態(tài),即不能說 Here is coming the bus.
(2)將表語和地點狀語(多為介詞短語)置于句首加以強調(diào)時,其后通常用倒裝語序。如:
Among them was my friend Jim.他們當中就有我的朋友吉姆。
Around the lake are some tall trees.湖的四周是一些高樹。
Under the big tree was sitting an old farmer.在那棵大樹底下坐著一個老農(nóng)夫。
Outside the classroom stood a boy.教室外面站著一個男孩。
Behind the farm house was a rice field.農(nóng)舍后面是一片稻田。
At the foot of the hill lies a beautiful lake.小山腳下有一個美麗的小湖。
Among these people was his friend Jim.他的朋友吉姆就在這些人當中。
By the window sat a young man with a magazine in his hand.窗戶邊坐著一個年輕人,手里拿著一本雜志。
注意:
在表語置于句首的倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)中,要注意其中的謂語應與其后的主語保持一致,而不是與位于句首的表語保持一致。如:
In the box was a cat.箱子里是一只貓。
In the box were some cats.箱子里是一些貓。
(3)如主語過長或強調(diào)表語或狀語時,也可以用倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)。如:
On the blackboard were the words written in English:“Welcome to our class!”有人在黑板上用英文寫道:“歡迎到我們班上來。”
Present at the meeting were the school headmaster,the English teacher,and the students' parents.出席會議的有校長、英語教師和學生們的家長。
(4)表祝愿的虛擬語氣句中的倒裝。
在表示祝愿的虛擬語氣的句子中,其倒裝形式有:
①May+主語+動詞!如:
May you succeed?。↖ hope you succeed?。┳D愠晒?!
May God bless you!(I hope God blesses you?。┰干系圩8D?!
②Long live+主詞!如:
Long live the king!國王萬歲!
(5)感嘆句的倒裝。
在一些陳述式感嘆句中,為了強調(diào)某一部分,常常用倒裝的形式。
①介、副詞+動詞+主語(名詞)如:
感嘆句:Off went John!(John went off.)約翰去了!
感嘆句:Down went the big ship?。═he big ship went down.)大船沉沒了!
②介、副詞+主語(代詞)+動詞 如:
感嘆句:Out it comes?。↖t comes out.)它出來了!
感嘆句:Over it turns?。↖t turns over.)它翻過來了!
2.部分倒裝句的5種情形
將句子的主語與助動詞倒置稱為部分倒裝。其結(jié)構(gòu)與一般疑問句大致相同。英語中構(gòu)成部分倒裝的主要情形有:
(1)含有否定意義的詞如never,hardly,seldom,little,few,not until,not,not only,no sooner,no longer,nowhere等置于句首時,其后用部分倒裝。如:
Never have I read such a book.我從未讀過那樣的書。
Little do we know his life.我們對他的生活了解得很少。
By no means should you tell him about it.你絕不要告訴他這事。
(2)only 加狀語(副詞/介詞短語/從句)放在句首時,其后用部分倒裝。如:
Only in this way can you do it well.只有這樣你才能做好。
Only when he returned home did he realize what had happened.當他回到家里時,才知道出了什么事。
(3)so/neither/nor 表示前面所說的情況也適合于后者時,用 “so/neither/nor+助動詞+主語”這樣的倒裝句式。如:
He can sing English songs and so can I.他會唱英語歌,我也會。
He didn't see the film,and neither did I.他沒有看這部電影,我也沒有看。
She is very beautiful and so was her mother when she was young.她很美,她媽媽年輕時也很美。
You are young and so am I.你年輕,我也年輕。
She likes music and so do I.她喜歡音樂,我也喜歡。
If he can do it,so can I.要是他能做此事,我也能。
You aren't young and neither am I.你不年輕,我也不年輕。
She hasn't read it and nor have I.她沒有讀它,我也沒有讀。
(4)當虛擬條件句含有 were,should,had時,可省略if,將were,should,had置于句首。如:
Were I Tom (=If I were Tom),I would refuse.如果我是湯姆,我就會拒絕。
Had I realized that (=If I had realized that),I would have done something.我要是明白了這一點,我可能會采取某種行動。
(5)so ...that 結(jié)構(gòu)中,將 so+adj./adv.置于句首時,其后要用倒裝語序。如:
So cold was the weather that we had to stay at home.天氣太冷,我們只好呆在家里。
So fast does light travel that we can hardly imagine its speed.光速很快,我們幾乎沒法想像它的速度。
