倒装
I 我们通常使用的句子语序是自然语序,
即:主语+谓语
但有时谓语的全部或一部分提到主语的前
面,即采用倒装语序,即:谓语+主语
采用倒装语序,或是语法结构的需要,或是
为了强调。倒装语序又分为部分倒装和全
部倒装两种。
一、 部分倒装
部分倒装是把谓语中的一部分,如助动词
、情态动词或系动词be,放在主语前面,其
余部分仍在主语后面。
如:
1. Never had the Browns had any
experience like that.(助动词)
2. Only in this way can we work out the
physics problem.(情态动词)
3. Not only is he a singer,but(also) he
is a dancer.(系动词be)
二、全部倒装
全部倒装是句子中没有助动词、情态动词
或系动词be时,谓语动词要放在主语的前
面。
如:
1. Here comes the bus.
2. Here is the very book you want.
3. Up went the arrow into the sky.
4. The door opened and in came a
group of soldiers.
5. In front of me lay the whole valley.
◆ 注意
如果主语是人称代词,则主谓不倒装。
如:
Here he comes.
Away they went.
Here you are.
II 英语中的倒装也可以分为语法性倒装,这
是由于语法上的需要而必须倒装的句子,还
有一种是修饰性的倒装,这些句子是特别加
以强调的。
一、语法性的倒装
1. 各种疑问句的倒装
① Are you against the plan?
②Is he your brother" s best friend?
③Do you like playing football or
basketball after school?
④Did you get to school on time since
you got up late yesterday?
⑤What do you like best?
⑥When were you born?
◆ 注意
如果主语是由一个疑问词表示的或修饰的,
语序不变。
①Who did it?
疑问词who是主语,语序不变
②How many students in your school
joined the army?
主语 students由 how many修饰,语序不变
2. there be句型中的倒装 , 在此句型中,
there是引导词,动词be后才是真正的主
语。因此无论是在陈述句中还是疑问句
中,主语总是在谓语之后。
① There is little water left.
② There were no schools or hospitals
before.
③ Is there any ink in the bottle?
3. 直接引语中的倒装
①直接引语的一部分或全部放在句首时,
它的主语(说话人)和谓语(引述动词)常要
倒装。
如:
" Will you please carry it for me? "said
the old man.
② 但当主语是代词或谓语含有助动词时,
一般不倒装。另外,如果谓语比主语长,
或者它后面有宾语时,一般也不倒 装 。
如:
"He is a liar. You can" t trust him. " Tom
said to me in a whisper.
4. 省略if 的虚拟语气条件句中的倒装
if引导的虚拟语气条件句中如含有助动词
were, should和had时,可使用倒装, 一般
表述与事实相反的情况 。
即:
Were/ Should/Had+主语 + ……
=If+主语+were/ should/had+……
当if省略时,助动词were, should和had
要倒装到主语之前去;而if不省路时,主语
和助动词用正常语序。
如:
①Were you a fish, the cat would eat
you.
= If you were a fish, the cat would eat
you.
② Had you my troubles, you would
despair.
= If you had my troubles, you would
despair.
③ Should it rain tomorrow, I shall stay
at home.
= If it should rain tomorrow, I shall
stay at home.
5. so, nor, neither用于句首时,说明前
面一句话中谓语表示的情况也适用于另外
一个(些)人或物时,句子要用倒装。倒装句
中的助动词、情态动词、系动词be等要和
前一句话的一致。
① so用于肯定句 , 结构为:
So+be(have,助动词或情态动词)+主语
如:
* A: I have had my breakfast.
B: So have I
* A:LiMing can speak three languages.
B: So can I.
② nor / neither用于否定句 ,结构为:
Neither/Nor+be(have,助动词或情态动
词+主语
如:
*A: Will you go home this weekend?
B: No, and neither / nor will Li Ming.
6. as引导的让步状语从句中的倒装
① 形容词+as+主语+系动词be
如:
Young as he is. he knows a lot of things
8词)+as+主语+系动词
如:
King as he is. he is unhappy.
③ 副词+as+主语+动词
如:
Much as I like it. I won"t buy it.
④ 实义动调+as+主语+助动词
如:
Try as she does, she will never find it.
二、修辞性的倒装
除了话法性倒装之外,有些倒装是由于修
辞的原因而采用的,因此叫做修 辞性倒装
1. 否定词+助动词/be动词+主语
如:
* Barely does he have enough money
to live on.
= He barely has enough oney to live on.
*By no means is translation easy
=Translation is by no means easy.
◆常见的放在句首的否定词
by no means 决不
in no case
in no circumstances
under no circumstances
hardly,seldom 几乎不
no sooner..(than)一……就……
never从不
not only... but also….不但……而且
* Hardly had he seen me when he ran
away
* Scarcely had the baby cried when the
nurse rushed to carry him .
* No sooner had they reached home
than it rained more and more heavily.
* Not only is he a scientist, but also he is a painter.
2. 以here,there, then,now,thus,such,
so,out,in,up,down,away等副词(短语为
首的句子中,要倒装以表示特别强调的语
气。
如:

looking forward to.

助动词/ 情态动词+主语
如:

a big mistake

* Only when one loses heaith does one
know its value.
注意:only如果强调的是主语时,不倒装。
如:

4. 频度副词always, often,once出现在
句首时,句子要倒装。
如:
* Often did we warn them not to do so.
* Always will we remember the import-
ance of the meeting
5. 其他情况
为了保持句子平衡,或为了强调表语或状
语,或为了使上下文紧密衔接时,需要倒装
如:

of which sat a small boy.
