英语倒装句12种类型



倒装句:英语最基本的语序是主语在前,谓语动词在后。但有时由于句子结构的需要或表示强调,就要采用倒装形式。

英语倒装句12种类型

完全倒装

1. 用于 there be 句型.

2. 用于“ here ( there, now, then )+不及物动词+主语”的句型中,或以 in, out, up, down, away 等副词开头的句子里,以表示强调.

注意:

( 1 )主语是代词时,主语和谓语不倒装.

( 2 ) here , there 放在句首通常用一般现在时.

3. 当句首状语为表示地点的介词词组.

4. 表语置于句首时,倒装结构为“表语+连系动词+主语”:

( 1 )形容词+连系动词+主语

Present at the meeting were Mr Li, Mr Wang and many other teachers.

出席会议的有李老师、王老师和其他很多老师.

( 2 )过去分词+连系动词+主语

Gone are the days when we used foreign oil.

我们使用洋油的日子一去不复返了.

( 3 )介词短语+ be +主语

Among the goods are books, exercise-books, pens and some other things.

在所有的货物中有书、练习册、钢笔和其他东西.

5. 用于 so, neither , nor 开头的句子,表示重复前句的部分内容.原句的谓语应与前句的谓语的时态、形式相一致.

例如:You can't speak French. Neither can she.

你不会说法语,她也不会.

6. 为了保持句子平衡,或为了强调表语或状语,或是上下文紧密衔接时.

例如: They arrived at a *** all village, in front of which was a big river.

他们来到一个小村庄,村庄前面是条大河.

部分倒装

1. 否定副词位于句首时的倒装

在正式文体中,never, seldom, rarely, little, hardly, scarcely, no sooner, no longer, nowhere 等含有否定意义的副词若位于句首,则其后要用部分倒装:

I shall never forgive him. / Never shall I forgive him. 我永远不会宽恕他。

He seldom goes out for dinner. / Seldom does he go out for dinner. 他很少出去吃饭。

She hardly has time to listen to music. / Hardly does she have time to listen to music. 她几乎没时间听音乐。

He little realizes how important this meeting is. / Little does he realize how important this meeting is. 他不甚明白这个会议的重要性。

We had no sooner reached the airport than the plane took off. / No sooner had we reached the airport than the plane took off. 我们刚到机场,飞机就起飞了。

【注意】

(1) 对于not…until句型,当not until…位于句首时,其后的主句要用倒装语序:

He didn’t leave the room until the rain stopped. / Not until the rain stopped did he leave the room. 雨停了之后他才离开这房间。

(2) 某些起副词作用的介词短语,由于含有否定词,若位于句首,其后要用部分倒装:

On no accounts must this switch be touched. 这个开关是绝不能触摸的。

In [Under] no circumstances will I lend money to him.无论如何我也不会再借钱给他了。

但是,in no time(立即,马上)位于句首时,其后无需用倒装语序:

In no time he worked out the problem. 他马上就算出了那道题。

2.“only+状语”位于句首时的倒装

当一个状语受副词only的修饰且置于句首时,其后用部分倒装语序:

Only then did he realize that he was wrong. 到那时他才意识到他错了。

Only in this way are you able to do it well. 你只有用这种 *** 才能把它做好。

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. 在一般疑问句和特殊疑问句中常用倒装句。例如:

Is Lily singing or dancing? 莉莉是在唱歌还是在跳舞?

What does your mother do? 你妈妈是干什么的?

4.在以so开头的句子中,使用倒装句式可以使所表达的意思更趋简洁,其汉语意思为“也”。例如:He can ride a bike, and so can I. 他会骑自行车,我也会。

She saw it, and so did I. 她看见了,我也看见了。

注意:(1)如果前句的谓语动词是实义动词,倒装结构中用助动词do,does或did;如果前句的谓语中含有be动词、助动词或情态动词,倒装结构中则要根据其主语使用相应的动词。例如:

He can do it, and so can I. 他能做到,我也能做到。

He is working hard, and so are we. 他在努力工作,我们也在努力工作。

(2)有时so可以表示对前句内容的进一步肯定,意思相当于“是的;的确如此”,此时不可使用倒装结构。例如:

—They will have a good time this evening. 他们今晚会玩得很愉快。

—So they will. 的确如此。

—It’s fine today, isn’t it? 今天天气不错,是吗?

—Ah, so it is. 啊!的确如此。

5. 在以neither/ nor开头的句子中,常常使用倒装句式,表示“也不”。例如:

Tom didn’t watch TV last night. Neither/ Nor did I. 汤姆昨晚没看电视,我也没看。

They haven’t been to Australia. Neither/ Nor have I. 他们没去过澳大利亚,我也没去过。

6. 连词as引导让步状语从句时,从句需采用倒装结构,这时往往把动词、形容词、名词、副词或分词提到主语之前。结构为:名词(不加冠词)/形容词/副词/动词/分词+ as +主语+谓语。例如:

Young as he is, he knows a lot. 尽管他很年轻,但是他知道很多。

Surrounded as we were by the enemy, we managed to fight our way out. 尽管被敌人包围了,我们还是设法冲了出来。
