英語語法第四談——倒裝句

英語語法第四談——倒裝句

1、什麼是倒裝句用法?

倒裝句用法是一種為了強調句中的某個部分,而改變句子語序的用法。譬如,下面的句子是 S+V+O(主語+動詞+賓語)的語序。

I can't tell what he wants to do .

我無法告知他要做什麼。

說明:我們若要特別強調“what he wants to do”以引起聽著的注意時,可將其置於句首。 What he wants to do I can't tell .這就成了倒裝句 O +S+V的形式了。

2、為強調而倒裝的句子有哪些?

(1)首先,具有否定內容的副詞或者副詞短語可以置於句首,在這種情形時,要改變以下的語序:助動詞+主語+動詞。

Never have I eaten such a nice cake

= I have never eaten such a fine cake .

我從未吃過這麼好吃的蛋糕。

(2)並且,Hardly / Scarcely ...when ... 或No sooner...than... (還沒有..... 就.....)也適用於這種倒裝句。

(3)若將修飾動詞的副詞置於句首,同樣也會發生倒裝的情形。

Only slowly did I understand the news.

我慢慢地才瞭解那消息的意義。

In came Mary.= Mary came in .

瑪麗走進來了。

3、不為強調而倒裝的語句。

(1)使用 so 或 neither ,nor 等

—— He likes music. 他喜歡音樂。

—— So do I . 我也喜歡。

比較:—— You like music .

你喜歡音樂。

—— So I do . / Yes,I do .

是的,我喜歡。

—— He doesn't like fish .

他不喜歡魚。

—— Neither / Nor do I .

我也不喜歡。

(2)在虛擬語氣的條件從句中省略 if 時

Where it true, I would believe it .= If it were true , I would believe it .

假如那是真的,我就相信。

(3)連詞 as 與though 有相同意思時

Boy as he was he looked after his mother. = Though he was a boy , he looked after his mother.

雖然他是個小孩,卻能照顧他的母親。
