英语倒装句的概念与分类
英语句子的结构一般是“主语 + 谓语”,语法上称这种语序为自然语序。但有时由于出于语法结构的需要或修辞的需要,常把句子中的一部分或全部倒转过来,这种语序就是倒装语序。
英语的倒装分为部分倒装和完全倒装。其中部分倒装指的是将谓语的一部分位于主语前,其句式与一般疑问句的相同。如:
She hardly has time to listen to music.
=Hardly does she have time to listen to music.
他几乎没时间听音乐。
而完全倒装则指将谓语动词完全置于主语前。完全倒装一般具有以下两个条件:
①谓语动词是单个(即不带情态动词、助动词或be)的不及物动词,且只限于一般现在时或一般过去时。
②主语只能是名词。
Here comes the bus. 公共汽车来了。
Away went the runners. 赛跑选手们跑远了。
The door opened and in came Mr Smith. 门开了,史密斯先生进了来。
注:若主语为人称代词,则不能用倒装。如:
Away he went. 他跑远了
完全倒装用法归纳
完全倒装,即将谓语移到主语前。英语中构成完全倒装的情形主要有:
1. 以 here, there, now, then, out, in, up, down, off, away 等方向性副词开头的句子,且句子主语是名词时,句子用完全倒装。如:
Here comes the bus. 公共汽车来了。
Now comes your turn. 现在该你了。
Then came a new difficulty. 这时又产生了一个新的困难。
The door opened and in came Mr Li. 门开了,李先生进了来。
注:若主语为代词,则不用倒装。如:
The door opened and in she came. 门开了,她走了进来。
2. 将表语和地点状语(多为介词短语)置于句首加以强调时,其后通常用倒装语序。如:
Among them was my friend Jim. 他们当中就有我的朋友吉姆。
Around the lake are some tall trees. 湖的四周有些高树。
注:在表语置于句首的倒装结构中,要注意其中的谓语应与其后的主语保持一致,而不是与位于句首的表语保持一致。
部分倒装用法归纳
部分倒装,即将主语与助动词倒置,其结构与一般疑问句大致相同。英语中构成部分倒装的主要情形有:
1. 含否定意义的词(如 never, hardly, seldom, little, few, not until, not, not only, no sooner, no longer, nowhere, by no means 等)置于句首时,其后用部分倒装,但是In no time除外。如:
In no time he worked out the problem. 他马上就算出了那道题。
Never have I seen read such a book. 我从未读过那样的书。
Little do we know his life. 我们对他的生活了解得很少。
By no means should you tell him about it. 你绝不要告诉他这事。
2. only+状语(副词/介词短语/从句)放在句首时,其后用部分倒装。如:
Only in this way can you do it well. 只有这样你才能做好。
Only when he returned home did he realize what had happened. 当他回到家里时,才知道出了什么事。
3. so / neither / nor 表示前面所说的情况也适合于后者时,用“so / neither / nor+助动词+主语”这样的倒装句式。如:
He can sing English songs and so can I. 他会唱英语歌,我也会。
He didn’t see the film, and neither did I. 他没有看这部电影,我也没有看。
She is every beautiful and so was her mother when she was young. 她很美,她妈妈年轻时也很美。
4. 当虚拟条件句含有 were, should, had 时,可省略 if,将 were, should, had 置于句首。如:
Were I Tom(=If I were Tom), I would refuse. 如果我是汤姆,我就会拒绝。
Had I realized that(=If I had realized that), I would have done something. 我要是明白了这一点,我可能会采取某种行动。
5. so...that 结构中,将 so+adj. / adv. 置于句首时,其后要用倒装语序。如:
So cold was the weather that we had to stay at home. 天气太冷,我们只好呆在家里。
So fast does light travel that we can hardly imagine its speed. 光速很快,我们几乎没法想像它的速度。
