(完整版)倒装句

倒装句
在英语中，主语和谓语的语序通常是主语在前，谓语在后。

这类语序被称为“自然语序”。

但有时为了强调句子的某一部分，或由于其它诸如语法结构或修辞上的需要，句子的谓语移到主语的前面，形成倒装语序。

倒装可分为全部倒装和部分倒装两种形式。

全部倒装是将句子的整个谓语动词放在主语之前，部分倒装是将谓语的一部分，如助动词、情态动词或连系动词be等放在主语前面。

第一节完全倒装
一、here, there, now, then, thus, hence等词位于句首的倒装形式
以here, there, now, then, thus, hence等词开头的句子，谓语动词be, stand, lie, come, go, fall, follow等的一般现在时或一般过去时，句子的谓语全部倒装。

例如：Then came the hour we had been looking forward to.
There stands a table in the middle of the room.
Then followed 8 years of Anti- Japanese war.
Now comes your turn.
Here is the book you want.
Thus ended the lesson.
There lies a valley fastness known today as the Old Crow Basin.
注意：当主语为人称代词时，不用倒装，需用自然语序。

Here he comes. (Here comes the teacher.)
There it goes. (There goes the last bus.)
二、ahead, away, down, in, off, out ,up等方位副词位于句首的倒装形式
ahead, away, down, in, off, out, up等方位副词或bang, click, crack等象声词位于句首时，谓语动词常用go, come, rush, run等表示位置移动的不及物动作动词的一般过去时，句子主谓去全部倒装，目的是为了生动地描写这些动作。

例如：Up went to the rocket into the air.
In went the sun and down came the rain.
Following a roar, out rushed a tiger from among the bushes.
Down came the hammer and out flew the sparks.
Away flew the bird!
注意：如果主语是人称代词，主谓不倒装。

Out he ran.
Away they went.
三、表示地点的介词词组位于句首的倒装形式
介词短语作状语，特别是表示地点的状语，为了使句子平衡放在句首，主谓全部倒装。

例如：Below the mountain ran a little stream.
From the valley came a frightening sound.
Beyond them lay the fields of paddy rice.
In this chapter will be found a partial answer.
After the banquet came a firework display in the garden.
To the list may be added the following names.

四、表语位于句首的倒装形式
表语位于句首时谓语全部倒装。

这样的表语常为形容词，副词，介词短语，现在分词或过去分词等。

但如果主语是人称代词用正常语序。

有时用作谓语动词的现在分词或过去
分词也有此种用法。

例如：Present will be a person who thinks up an idea for an advertisement, and a person who will buy space in newspapers or time on TV.
Surrounding the earth is a layer of air of unkonwn thickness.

五、直接引语的倒装
在宾语从句为直接引语的句子里，若全部或部分直接引语位于主句之前，主句主语是名词通常要全部倒装，是代词不倒装。

例如：“What does the word mean?” asked the boy.
“Where are you from?” he asked.
“You should have been here five minutes earlier,” said the teacher.
“Help! Help! shouted the boy.( The boy shouted, “Help! Help!”)
“I’m hungry!” Jim will say.
第二节部分倒装

She would never sing, nor would she dance.
My sister often calls me and so does my brother.
—I can’t swim.
—Neither can I.
If you do not go swimming, neither shall I.
注意1）当so开头的句子只是表示对别人的情况加以肯定、确认、表示有同感时，其含义为“确实如此”，主谓不倒装。

例如：
—They will have a good time.
—So they will.
—It was cold yesterday!
—So it was!
注意2）当前面说的是两件或两件以上的事、用不同的动词或不同的时态，要用句型：so it is with…(= It is the same with…)含义为“…也是如此“。

例如：
—Mary isn’t well today and she hasn’t finished her homework yet.
—So it is with Tom.
Kate likes singing, but she can’t sing well. So it is with Mary.
