倒装句
英语句子的语序通常是主语在前,谓语在后,这种语序称作正常语序或自然语序。但有时出于语法或达到某种修辞目的(强调、承上启下、平衡等)的需要,要把谓语动词放在主语前面,这种语序称作倒装(Inversion)语序。将谓语动词完全移至主语之前,称完全倒装(Full Inversion);如果只是把助动词或情态动词放在主语之前,称为部分倒装。
1. there be结构的倒装
在“there be”(或there + appear to e,exist, happen to be, lie, live, occur, remain, seem, seem to be, stand, used to be) 等结构中,倒装形式为完全倒装。如:
There were many students in the reading room in this evening.
There is a TV set, a stereo system and a number of chairs in the sitting room.
There seems to be a lack munication.
There remained a few jobs still to be finished.
There stand a line of guards in front of the gate.
2. here,there,now,then,thus等引起的倒装
在以here, there, now, then等简短副词引起的句子中(前三个须用一般现在时),动词往往是be, come, go, run, lie等,这类句子大多带有引起注意的含义。如:
es the 。
Here is the letter you have been looking forward 。
There goes the bell.
但要注意:如果主语是代词,则不用倒装。如:
Here they are. 他们在这儿。
3. 省略if的非真实条件状语从句中的倒装
在虚拟结构中,条件从句的谓语含有were, had 和should这三个词是,可省去if,将这些词移至主语之前。
Had I time (= If I had time), I would go and help you.
Were I you (= If I were you), I would go abroad.
Should e (=If he e),tell him to ring me up.
Had you worked harder at college, you would have got better job.
Were he better qualified, he would apply for the position.
4. 副词so,neither,nor等引起的倒装
在用so, nor, neither表示“也/不……”这一类结构里其公式是:
肯定: so + be / have/助动词/情态动词+主语
否定: Neither(nor)+be/have/助动词/情态动词+主语。如:
—He has been to 。—So have 。
—They can’t answer the 。—Neither than 。
5. what,how引起的倒装
以What, how开头的感叹句(表语或宾语提前)。如:
What beautiful weather (it is)! 多好的天气啊!(表语提前)
What a lovely picture he painted!他画了一张多好的画啊!(宾语提前)
6. 疑问词或连接词引起的倒装
在疑问词或连接词whether等引起的从句中。如:
Whatever you may say, I won’t go ,我都不会去那儿。(状语从句中宾语提前)
What book he wants is not clear. 他要什么书还不清楚。(主语从句中宾语提前)
7. 否定词位于句首时引起的倒装
(1). never,seldom,hardly,little,few等引起的倒装
否定词never,seldom,rarely,hardly,barely,scarcely,little,few等位于句首时所引起的倒装句通常为部分倒装形式,如果谓语动词为be的一般现在时或一般过去时,则为完全倒装形式。如:
