1、 倒装句之全部倒装
全部倒装是只将句子中的谓语动词全部置于主语之前。此结构一般只用与一般目前时和一般过去时。容易见到的结构有:
1)here, there, now, then, thus等副词置于句首, 谓语动词常用be, come, go, lie, run.
There goes the bell.
Then came the chairman.
Here is your letter.
2)表示运动方向的副词或地址状语置于句首,谓语表示运动的动词。
Out rushed a missile1 from under the bomber2.
Ahead sat an old woman.
注意:上述全部倒装的句型结构的主语需要是名词,假如主语是人称代词则不可以完全倒装。比如:Here he comes. Away they went.
2、倒装句之部分倒装
部分倒装是指将谓语的一部分如助动词或情态倒装至主语之前。假如句中的谓语没助动词或情态动词,则需添加助动词do, does或did,并将它置于主语之前。
1)句首为否定或半否定的词汇,如no, not, never, seldom, little, hardly, at no time, in no way, not until 等。
Never have I seen such a performance.
Nowhere will you find the answer to this question.
Not until the child fell asleep did the mother leave the room.
当Not until引出主从复合句,主句倒装,从句不倒装。
注意: 如否定词不在句首不倒装。
I have never seen such a performance.
The mother didnt leave the room until the child fell asleep.
典型例题
1)Why cant I smoke here? At no time___ in the meeting-room
A. is smoking permittedB.smoking is permitted
C. smoking is it permittedD.does smoking permit
答案A. 这是一个倒装问题。当否定词汇置于句首以表示强调时,其句中的主谓须用倒装结构。 这类否定词包含no, little, hardly, seldom, never, not only, not until等。本题的正常语序是 Smoking is permitted in the meeting-room at no time.
2)Not until the early years of the 19th century ___ what heat is.
A. man did know B. man know C. didnt man know D. did man know
答案D. 看到Not until的句型,大家了解为一倒装句,答案在C,D 中选一个。改写为正常语序为, Man did not know what heat is until the early years of the 19th. 目前将not提前,后面就不可以再用否定了,不然意思就变了。
