重點:倒裝是一種修辭手法,它的運用是為了強調,為了突出重點!!!疑問句是一種常見的倒裝句,這沒什麼可說的!!!
類型一
動詞跟著移動型的,這種倒裝句,不論動詞是什麼形式,直接就放在主語前面。採用這種方式倒裝的又分三種情況:
A 引用句
① Max says, “I like you”.
② “I like you,” says Max.
③ “I like you,” Max says.
情況①我們稱之為直接引語,情況②我們稱之為倒裝,情況③我們稱之為評論從句。其實倒不倒裝,主要在於你是否強調這句話!
① Max says that he likes you.
② He likes you, says Max.
③ He likes you, Max says.
使用倒裝無非為了加強語氣,突出重點!如果沒有這種需要,就不要使用到裝了嘛!
B 類似 there is/are 句型
① There goes the train.
② Here comes the car.
③ Then came the chairman.
我們需要加強語氣,所以動詞提到主語前面,但副詞要儘可能靠近被修飾詞(動詞),於是將副詞置於動詞前面,這就形成了我們所看到的形式!
① The train goes there.
② The car comes here.
③ The chairman came then.
(當然我們可以不倒裝↑)
① Away they went.
② Here it comes.
③ Here you are.
當主語是代詞時,我們被要求代詞要儘可能的靠近上文被指代的人和物,為的是指代的清楚性。但我們又要加強語氣,沒辦法折中處理,副詞留在原地,動詞回到主語後面。這種句子語氣大打折扣,傳統語法不將這種句子視為倒裝句,其實也是有道理的。
C 類似 there is/are 構造的從句
① She knew a little corner where was the seat beneath the yew tree.
她熟悉一個小小的角隅,那裡有棵紫杉樹,樹下有個座位。
②They arrived at a farmhouse,in front of which sat a small boy.
他們來到一個農家,屋前坐著位小男孩。
當然我們也可以不用倒裝。
① She knew a little corner where the seat was beneath the yew tree.
②They arrived at a farmhouse,in front of which a small boy sat.
這種句子的倒裝通常不被人注意!
類型二
虛擬語氣的狀語從句,可以將助動詞或聯繫動詞be置於主語前面,取代聯繫詞 if.
① Had you come yesterday, you would have seen him.
② Should you require anything give me a ring.
③ Were it not for your help, I would still be homeless.
當然我們可以不倒裝。
① If you had come yesterday, you would have seen him.
② If you should require anything give me a ring.
③ If it were not for your help, I would still be homeless.
這種做法簡化了句子,加強了語氣。但不是所有的條件句都可以,只有在虛擬語氣的條件句才可以,原因在虛擬語氣上,等說到虛擬語氣時再說!
類型三
當我們強調否定意義時,我們將否定副詞移前,若有助動詞或聯繫動詞be就將其提前,沒有的話就加上助動詞do.
①Never shall I forgive him.
②Seldom does he go out for dinner.
③Not until the game had begun did he arrive at the sports ground.
當然我們可以不倒裝!
① I shall never forgive him.
② He seldom goes out for dinner.
③ He didn't arrive at the sports ground until the game had begun .
因為我們強調否定,所以我們將否定副詞(或副詞短語)前置,但副詞又要儘可能的靠近被修飾詞(動詞)。此時的動詞不是強調的重點,它不能動,權衡之下,將動詞的一部分(助動詞)前置,就形成了上面的形式。
類似的副詞有never, seldom, rarely, little, hardly, scarcely, no sooner, no longer, nowhere等等。
類型四
① You are young and so am I.
② If he can do it, so can I.
這沒什麼好說的,這是經過省略的句子。
除了以上四種類型的倒裝句外,還有許多其他的,其中最常見的有以下幾種:
①“only+狀語”位於句首時的倒裝
當一個狀語受副詞only的修飾且置於句首時(強調):
Only then did he realize that he was wrong.
Only in this way are you able to do it well.
②“so+adj. / adv.”位於句首時的倒裝
副詞so後接形容詞或副詞位於句首時(強調):
So cold was the weather that we had to stay at home.
So sudden was the attack that we had no time to escape.
③在比較句中
在比較狀語從句中因主語較長,或帶有較長的修飾語時可倒裝,也可不用
He ran as fast as did the person who came from England.
American consumed more energy than did our country.
