VOA一分鐘英語(yǔ)：簡(jiǎn)單倒裝句 用法淺析

英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言中的 “倒裝” 指的是把句子當(dāng)中的部分成分顛倒順序的一種語(yǔ)法手段。使用倒裝句的目的有哪些？怎樣把語(yǔ)序正常的句子變成倒裝句？
 
Never before (probably) has inversion been explained so quickly or so simply. So pay attention because that's what we're doing!
Inversion is something we do in English for emphasis, formality, or style.
'I will never dance.'
This sentence follows normal word order: subject, auxiliary verb, adverb, verb.
'Never' is a negative or limiting adverb. Other examples are: 'rarely', 'hardly', and 'not often'.
First, move the negative adverb to the beginning of the sentence.
Then invert, or swap the order of the subject and auxiliary verb! Never will I dance!
If your sentence is affirmative and doesn't have an auxiliary verb, for example, the present or past simple – then add one!
Rarely do I wake up on time.
Remember – it's for emphasis, so only do it for a good reason.
 
用法總結(jié)
1 英語(yǔ)倒裝句的用途：1）表示強(qiáng)調(diào)；2）突出正式性；3）體現(xiàn)修辭風(fēng)格。
Never before (probably) has inversion been explained so quickly or so simply.
 
2 包含否定或限定副詞的倒裝句基本構(gòu)成：將一個(gè)正常語(yǔ)序的句子（主語(yǔ)+助動(dòng)詞+副詞+動(dòng)詞）中的主語(yǔ)與副詞的位置互換，變成 “副詞+助動(dòng)詞+主語(yǔ)+動(dòng)詞”。
I will never dance. → Never will I dance!
 
3 如果原句中沒(méi)有助動(dòng)詞，比如一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)或一般過(guò)去時(shí)的句子，則可根據(jù)時(shí)態(tài)添加一個(gè)助動(dòng)詞，再形成倒裝。
I rarely wake up on time. → Rarely do I wake up on time.
He hardly ever came to school. → Hardly ever did he come to school.
