火眼金睛識(shí)標(biāo)志,
類聚群分學(xué)倒裝
安徽省宿州第二中學(xué)杜 聰梅 梅
倒裝(Inversion)是英語語法的一個(gè)重要組成部分,了解、掌握倒裝句各種句式的用法,不僅能提高我們對(duì)英語語言的欣賞能力,而且對(duì)我們英語表達(dá)能力的提高也大有裨益。
在英語中,句子的語序通常是主語在前,謂語在后,但有時(shí)由于語法或修辭的需要,將謂語的一部分(通常是助動(dòng)詞或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞)或全部提到主語前面,這樣的語序叫作倒裝。倒裝分為兩種:
1.完全倒裝
整個(gè)謂語移至主語前面叫完全倒裝。
強(qiáng)調(diào)部分+謂語動(dòng)詞(vi)+主語。例如:
Away went the boy!
2.部分倒裝
只把助動(dòng)詞、系動(dòng)詞或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞放在主語前面叫部分倒裝。
強(qiáng)調(diào)部分+助動(dòng)詞、情態(tài)動(dòng)詞或系動(dòng)詞be等+主語+謂語。例如:
Never will he forget his first time to take a plane.
1.尋找完全倒裝的標(biāo)志,巧學(xué)全部倒裝的句型
(1)在here,there引導(dǎo)的句子中,謂語是be,exist等表示狀態(tài)的不及物動(dòng)詞時(shí),應(yīng)使用完全倒裝句型。例如:
There seems something wrong about it.
Here are some books for you,Wang Lin.
(2)在here,there引導(dǎo)的句子中,謂語是come,go等時(shí),應(yīng)使用完全倒裝句型。例如:
There goes the bell.
Here comes the bus.
若主語是人稱代詞,則不用完全倒裝。例如:
Here you are.
(3)在副詞now,then,thus引導(dǎo)的句子中,謂語動(dòng)詞是come,follow,begin,end等時(shí),應(yīng)使用完全倒裝句型。例如:
Now comes your turn.
Then followed a shot of gun.
Thus ended the party.
(4)在in,out,up,down,away,off等作狀語置于句首,謂語動(dòng)詞是come,go,rush,run等不及物動(dòng)詞的句子中時(shí),應(yīng)使用完全倒裝句型。例如:
In came a little boy.
Away ran the prisoner.
Off went the horses.
若主語是人稱代詞,則不用完全倒裝。例如:
In he came and the lecture began.
Up it flew.
(5)在地點(diǎn)狀語置于句首,謂語動(dòng)詞是be,stand,sit,lie等時(shí),應(yīng)使用完全倒裝句型。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.尋找不完全倒裝的標(biāo)志,巧學(xué)部分倒裝的句型
(1)在以hardly,scarcely,rarely,little,seldom,never,nowhere,by no means等否定或半否定意義的詞位于句首表示強(qiáng)調(diào)的句子中時(shí),應(yīng)使用部分倒裝句型。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引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語或從句出現(xiàn)在句首時(shí),主句應(yīng)使用部分倒裝句型。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位于句首時(shí),主句應(yīng)使用部分倒裝句型。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...”位于句首但不連接主語時(shí),應(yīng)使用部分倒裝句型。例如:
Not only can he speak English but also French.
注1:若連接兩個(gè)分句時(shí),第一個(gè)分句用部分倒裝,第二個(gè)分句不倒裝。例如:
Not only did he speak correctly,but also he spoke fluently.
注2:若連接兩個(gè)主語時(shí)不倒裝。例如:
Not only the teacher but also his students have been to the Great Wall.
(5)only放在句首且修飾介詞短語、副詞或狀語從句時(shí),主句應(yīng)使用部分倒裝句型。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位于句首但修飾的是主語,則不用倒裝。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,表示前面的情況也適用于另一人(或事物)時(shí),應(yīng)使用部分倒裝句型。例如:
He is interested in English.So am I.
—Do you know Jack quarreled with his brother?
—I don't know,nor do I care.
(7)在so/such...that結(jié)構(gòu)中,so或such放在句首時(shí),主句應(yīng)使用不完全倒裝句型。例如:
So clearly does he speak English that he can always make himself understood.
3.尋找特殊倒裝的標(biāo)志,巧學(xué)特殊倒裝的句型
有些倒裝句型的構(gòu)成不是將謂語動(dòng)詞或助動(dòng)詞前置,而是將特殊的內(nèi)容前置,常見的有以下幾種:
(1)as(盡管)引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句時(shí),通常將句中的表語、狀語或動(dòng)詞提到句首,從而構(gòu)成特殊倒裝句型,此時(shí)as還可以換成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引導(dǎo)的虛擬條件句中,若從句中的謂語含有were,should,had時(shí),可以將這些詞提至句首,省略if,從而構(gòu)成特殊倒裝句型。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)有時(shí)為了使上下文銜接緊密,或?yàn)榱私o表語以更突出的位置,通常把表語或狀語提前,主語和謂語完全倒裝,這種特殊倒裝句型可稱為平衡倒裝句。例如:
He was born poor and poor he remained all his life.
Very grateful we are for your help.
(4)有時(shí)一個(gè)情態(tài)動(dòng)詞或助動(dòng)詞后的動(dòng)詞原形也可能移到句子前面來,構(gòu)成特殊倒裝。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.
1.Not only__(護(hù)士想要)a pay increase,they want reduced hours as well.
2.No sooner__M(jìn)o 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__(他們違反)the rules of the game.It was unfair to punish them.
5.Not until he went through real hardship __(他意識(shí)到)the love we have for our families is important.
