部分倒装与完全倒装的区别英语最基本的词序“主语部分+谓语部分”通常十分固定。
如果把谓语动词放在主语前面,这就叫做倒装。
将谓语动词完全移至主语之前,称为完全倒装;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。
一、全部倒装1.以here,there,now,then开头的句子,谓语动词要放在句子的主语之前。
这种句子中的谓语动词通常是不及物动词。
如:Here comes the train!There goes the bell!注意:如果句子的主语是人称代词,则不能使用倒装结构。
如:Here it comes!/There it goes!2.有些动词短语以副词out,in,up,down,away等结尾,构成不及物动词短语。
这时,为了使句子更形象,常将这些副词提前到句首。
这时,句中的谓语动词要放在句子主语的前面,构成全部倒装。
(注意,这时句子的主语也必须是名词。
如果是人称代词,也不能使用倒装结构。
)如:Up went the rocket.Up it went.3.为了强调表示地点的介词短语,常将这个介词短语放在句首,构成全部倒装。
注意,这时句子的谓语动词通常是不及物动词。
如:In the front of the lecture hall sat the speaker.4.表语置于句首,且主语较长或结构较复杂的句子要用全部倒装。
如:Gone are the days when we had nothing to eat.5.so/neither/nor表示前面所说的情况也适合于后者,其倒装结构为“so/neither /nor+助动词/系动词/情态动词+主语”(so表示肯定意义,neither/nor表示否定意义)。
如:She has finished her homework,so has her brother.She hasn’t gone there,neither/nor has he.但如果so表示强调,即强调前面所说的情况的真实性时,其结构是“so+主语+助动词/系动词/情态动词”,这里的主语同前一个句子的主语指的是同一人或物。
如:She knows little English,so she does.她英语懂得不多。
她的确如此。
二.部分倒装1.用于疑问句中。
如:How did you do that﹖Did you see the film yesterday﹖2.用于省略if的虚拟条件状语从句中。
如果我们将连词if省略,应把were,had,should提到主语前面。
如:If you had come yesterday,you would have seen him.→Had you come yesterday,you would have seen him.3.用于as引导的让步状语从句中。
as引导的让步状语从句引起的倒装有以下几种形式:1) 副词置于句首。
如:Much as I like it (=Although I like it very much), I will not buy it.2) 动词原形置于句首。
如Wait as you may(=Although you may wait), he will not see you.3) 形容词或名词置于句首。
如:Proud as the nobles are (=Although the nobles are proud), they are afraid to see me.Child as he is (=Although he is a child), he can tell right from wrong.注意:如果名词前有形容词修饰时,as 引导的倒装句中要保留不定冠词。
如:A bad-tempered man as he is (=Although he is a bad-tempered man), he loves me deeply.4.具有否定意义的副词或连词(not,hardly,no sooner, not until, seldom,not once,at no time,never,little等) 置于句首时,句子(主句)采用部分倒装。
如:Little do we know about him.No sooner had he closed his eyes than he fell asleep.Seldom does he come back on Sundays.Not until he came back did I know about it.5.only修饰句子的状语(从句)位于句首时,句子(主句)要用部分倒装。
如:Only then did I realize the importance of English.但如果only修饰的是句子的其它成分,则无需倒装。
如:Only socialism can save China.(only修饰的是句子的主语,故仍用正常语序。
)6.not only…but also… 连接两个并列分句时,第一个分句应使用部分倒装。
如:Not only does he do well in his lessons, but also he often helps others with their lessons.7.so…that结构中的倒装。
有时要强调so所修饰的形容词或副词,常将so连同它所修饰的形容词或副词一起提到句首。
这时,主句要用倒装结构。
如:He runs so fast that he is far ahead of others.→So fast does he run that he is far ahead of others.He is so clever that he can work out all the difficult problems in the book.→So clever is he that he can work out all the difficult problems in the book.(全部倒装)倒装的原因有二:1)由于一定语法结构的需要,如:Have you known Mr. Davis long?你认识戴维斯先生很久了吗?Where have you been?你刚才到哪里去了?Was the car damaged by a truck?这辆小轿车是让大卡车给撞坏的吗?2)由于强调,如:Never have I heard such a funny story.我从来没听过这样有趣的故事。
Only then did I fully understand what my father said.只有到那时,我才充分理解我父亲讲的话。
倒装结构的基本用法在下列情况下,通常用倒装句。
.1)在问句中,如:What does your father do?你父亲干什幺工作?How are you?你身体好吗?Is he singing of is his brother?是他在唱,还是他弟弟在唱?Was your school setup in 1958? 你们的学校是7958年成立的吗?2)在“there + be”结构里,如:There are many tall buildings in Hong Kong.香港有很多高建筑物。
There is a plane at the airport.飞机场上有一架飞机。
There are different forms of energy.有各种不同形式的能量。
3)在以here(这里),there(那里)等副词开头的某些句子里(须用现在一般时),如:There goes our director.我们的主任走了。
There goes then bell.铃响了。
Here is a ticket for you.这儿有张票给你。
Here comes the bus.公共汽车来了。
[注]但如果主语是人称代词,主语和谓语动词的词序则不变。
如:There he comes.他来了。
Here it is.在这儿(或这就是)。
4)虚拟结构中的条件从句省去it时这时were,had和should须移至主语之前。
如:He would do more work were he in your place.如果他是你的话,他会干更多工作。
Should I earn more money,I should live better.如果我能赚更多的钱,我会生活得好些。
You would have done well had you taken her advice.你如果听她的意见,你就会干得好些。
Were there no steel,there would be no modern industry.没有钢就不会有现代工业。
5)直接宾语如果是直接引语的全部或一部分往往放在句首,这时主语和谓语动词也可颠倒位置。
如:“You all made great progress last term,”said the teacher.老师说:“你们上学期都取得了很大的进步。
”“Miss smith,”replied the monitor,“our success is inseparable from your hard work.”“史密斯小姐,”班长回答说,“我们的成绩与你的辛勤劳动是分不开的。
”6)在某些表达祝愿的句子里,如:Long live the people!人民万岁!May you all be happy!祝你们大家愉快!7)在用肋表示“我也这样”一类概念的结构里,其公式是:肯定:so + be,have,助动词或情态动词+ 主语否定:neither (nor) + be,have,助动词或情态动词+ 主语He has visited the museum. -so have I.他参观了博物馆。
——我也参观了。
She enjoys literature.-so does every one of us.他喜欢文学——我们每个人也都喜欢。
They can play chess. -so can we.他们会下棋。
——我们也会。
He is a basketball fan. -so do I.他是一个篮球迷。
——我也是。
H e isn’t a businessman. -neither am I.他不是商人——我也不是。
They were not thirsty. -nor were we.他们不渴——我们也不渴。
