倒装句
主语和谓语有两种顺序:主语在前称为自然语序; 反之, 如果谓语在主语前面,称为倒装语序。倒装的形式有两种: 部分倒装和全部倒装。有时把强调的内容提至句首,称为形式倒装。
一、倒装句的意义
1、适应一定的语法结构的需要,主要是指疑问句句型结构的需要。
e.g. May I come in?
Was the People’s Liberation Army founded in 1927?
2、为了强调某一部分,而把这部分放到句首,构成倒装。
e.g. Never have I been late for school this term.
So early did he come to school that no other students came.
二、倒装句的类型
1. 部分倒装
部分倒装是指将谓语的一部分(如助动词、情态动词、连系动词be)移至主语之前,谓语的其他部分仍保留在主语的后面。如果谓语部分无助动词,则需找助动词do,did,does来“帮助”它构成倒装句。主从复合句中主句倒装,从句不倒装。
(1)在疑问句中。
Is she singing in the classroom?
What does your mother do?
(2)only修饰副词、介词短语或状语从句,且放在句首时(就是only +状语,并放于句首)。
[Only recently] have I had time (to read the book). 直到最近我才有时间读这本书。
[Only with more practice] can you pass the driving test. 只有多练习你才能通过驾照考试。
[Only because there were some cancelled bookings] did he get some tickets [in the end].
只有预订票取消他才能最终买上票。

①only修饰主语时句子不倒装。
Only he can answer the question. 只有他能回答这个问题。
Only the president could authorize the use of the atomic bomb. 只有总统才能授权使用原子弹。
②在强调句型中不用倒装。
例1 Only when he apologizes for his rudeness ________ to him again.
A. I will speak B. will I speak C. I speak D.do I speak
解析 句意: 只有当他为他的粗鲁道歉时, 我才会跟他说话。only修饰的状语从句位于句首,主句要用部分倒装; 再根据“主将从现”原则,此处应用一般将来时。
答案B
例2 Only after talking to two students ______ I discover that having strong motivation is one of the biggest factors in reaching goals.
解析 句意: 直到跟两个学生谈过之后,我才意识到有强大的动机是达成目标最关键的因素之一。 “only+状语”放在句首,后面句子需用部分倒装形式。 根据语境可知设空处应该用一般过去时。
答案 did
(3)具有否定意义或半否定意义的副词以及含有否定词的介词短语、固定搭配放于句首时,句子需部分倒装。常用的这类词或词组有:
not不
hardly几乎不
little很少
never从不,永不
barely几乎不
seldom很少
scarcely几乎不
not until直到……才
by no means 一点也不
in no way 一点也不
not only...but also 不仅……而且……
at no time 决不
in no case 决不
on no condition无论如何也不
under no circumstances 无论如何不
no sooner...than/ hardly/scarcely...when刚……就……
Little does she care what she looks like; all (she cares about) is her job performance.
她几乎不在意她的长相,她在意的是她的工作表现。
Scarcely had he opened the door [when a gust of wind blew the candle out].
他刚一开门,一阵风就把蜡烛吹灭了。
No sooner had he got to his office than he got down to work.
Hardly had we started when it began to rain.
Under no circumstances would she cancel the trip. 无论如何她都不会取消旅行。
Seldom do barking dogs bite. 爱叫的狗不咬人。
By no means should we look down upon the people (who get the lower positions than us).
我们决不应该瞧不起那些地位比我们低的人。
变部分倒装方法步骤:
第一步抽出否定词 | 1. 词: not, hardly, little, never, barely, seldom, scarcely
2. 短语: in no case, at no time, in no way, by no means, on no condition, under no circumstances
3. 句子: not until not only...but also no sooner...than hardly/scarcely... when
| 第二步抽助动词、情态动词或be动词 | can must
am is are will shall
has have do did does
| 第三步 | 其他不变照抄即可 | 知识拓展
①not only..., but also... “不仅……而且…… ”。
not only所属的分句倒装,but also所属的分句不倒装。

不仅要给那些找工作的人提供帮助,而且也要给那些需要的人提供药物治疗。
Not only do sharing bicycles provide great convenience [for people to travel], but also they can ease traffic pressure. 共享单车不仅给人们的出行提供很大的便利,而且可以缓解交通压力。
②not until…“直到……才……”。如果not until引导的是句子,遵循主倒从不倒原则。

直到1911年才发现了第一种维生素。
[Not until his finances are in the bank] do I want to get married.
在他有银行存款之前,我不想和他结婚。
例3 Not until he went through real hardship ______ he realize the love we have for our family is important.

答案 did
(4)so/neither/nor置于句首,表示前面所说的情况也适合另一个人或物。其句型为: so/neither/nor+ be/助动词/情态动词+主语。so与前面的肯定句呼应,neither/nor与前面的否定句呼应。

答案Neither/Nor
注意: 该句型中的动词类型应与前面的句子保持一致,但是要注意下面含有条件状语从句的句子,要符合“主将从现”原则。
[If Jane doesn’t support the plan], neither/nor will I. 如果简不支持那项计划,我也不支持。

②如果表示按别人的意思做了某事,80不用提前, 语序也不用倒装。

答案 C
(5)在so/such...that(如此……以至于)句型中,若so/such...提至句首,则需要部分倒装。在这个句型中,so/such所在的主句要倒装,而that引导的从句不倒装。

解析 句意:雨下得如此突然,以至于街上的人全都冲向四面八方找避雨处。so/such...提至句首,主句需部分倒装,由rushed—词可推断出应用一般过去时,故填was。
答案 was
(6)部分倒装用于省略了if的虚拟条件句。 含有were,should或had的虚拟条件从句,可以省略if,条件从句使用部分倒装,结构是:Were/Should/ Had+主语。
[Were I you], I wouldn’t buy the house [right now]. 如果我是你, 我不会立马买房子。
[Had the captain been more careful], his ship would not have sunk. 如果船长当时再小心一些,船就不会沉。

May you all be happy!祝你幸福!
[Long] live the people! 人民万岁!
2. 全部倒装(完全倒装) 在全部倒装的句子中,整个谓语部分会放在主语的前面。
(1) in, out, up, down, away, off, back,there, here, now, then等副词在句首作状语,谓语动词是come, go, rush, run等,且主语为名词时,句子要完全倒装。

A small factory lies [to the south of the river].
—►[South of the river] lies a small factory. 一个小型工厂坐落在这条河的南岸。
(3) such置于句首时。
Such was Albert Einstein, a simple man and the 20th century’s greatest scientist.
这就是阿尔伯特•爱因斯坦,一个朴实的人,也是20世纪最伟大的科学家。
此句型中的such多被认为是表语,所以such后的 be动词应与其后的主语保持一致。
Such are the facts; no one can deny them. 这些就是事实,没有人能否认它们。
(4)有时为平衡句子结构或突出、强调,将作表语的介词短语、形容词、个性副词或分词提到句首,构成“表语+系动词be+主语(名词)”的完全倒装结构。
Possible is everything. 一切皆有可能。

答案 A
3. 形式倒装 形式上的倒装在语法上称为前置。它的特点是,只把需要强调的内容提至句首,主谓并不倒装。这样的结构非常多,但有几个重要的句型需要特别注意:
(1)感叹句
What a rich breakfast it is! 多么丰盛的一顿早餐啊!
How well you look! 你气色真好!
使用特点:对名词(或中心词是名词)感叹时,用what引导; 对形容词或副词感叹时,用how引导。
(2) the+比较级... the+比较级...句型
[The higher you climb], [the farther] you will see. 你爬得越高,就看得越远。
[The smaller the house is], the less it will cost us to heat. 房子越小,取暖费越少。

使用特点:
①此句型中的比较级代表的是形容词或副词的比较级,要灵活使用。
[The more learned a man is], the more modest he usually is. —个人越博学,他往往越谦虚。
②此句型中的第一个the+比较级引导的部分相当于一个条件状语从句; 第二个the+比较级引导的部分相当于一个主句。
[The harder you work], the greater progress you will make. 你学习越努力,取得的进步就越大。
相当于 [If you work harder], you will make greater progress.
(3) whatever.. ./however..另|导的让步状语从句
[Whatever reasons you have], you should carry out your promise.
无论你有什么理由,你都应当遵守诺言。

答案as/though
例 9 Unsatisfied _____ with the payment, he took the job just to get some work experience.
A. though was he B. though he was C. he was though D. was he though
解析 句意: 尽管对工资不满意,但为了获得一些工作经验,他接受了这份工作。本题考查though引导状语从句可用倒装形式的用法。从句中的表语、状语或动词原形置于句首,但主谓顺序不变,即形式倒装。本句可写为:Though he was unsatisfied with the payment... 。
答案 B
