重点:倒装是一种修辞手法,它的运用是为了强调,为了突出重点!!!疑问句是一种常见的倒装句,这没什么可说的!!!
类型一
动词跟着移动型的,这种倒装句,不论动词是什么形式,直接就放在主语前面。采用这种方式倒装的又分三种情况:
A 引用句
① Max says, “I like you”.
② “I like you,” says Max.
③ “I like you,” Max says.
情况①我们称之为直接引语,情况②我们称之为倒装,情况③我们称之为评论从句。其实倒不倒装,主要在于你是否强调这句话!
① Max says that he likes you.
② He likes you, says Max.
③ He likes you, Max says.
使用倒装无非为了加强语气,突出重点!如果没有这种需要,就不要使用到装了嘛!
B 类似 there is/are 句型
① There goes the train.
② Here comes the car.
③ Then came the chairman.
我们需要加强语气,所以动词提到主语前面,但副词要尽可能靠近被修饰词(动词),于是将副词置于动词前面,这就形成了我们所看到的形式!
① The train goes there.
② The car comes here.
③ The chairman came then.
(当然我们可以不倒装↑)
① Away they went.
② Here it comes.
③ Here you are.
当主语是代词时,我们被要求代词要尽可能的靠近上文被指代的人和物,为的是指代的清楚性。但我们又要加强语气,没办法折中处理,副词留在原地,动词回到主语后面。这种句子语气大打折扣,传统语法不将这种句子视为倒装句,其实也是有道理的。
C 类似 there is/are 构造的从句
① She knew a little corner where was the seat beneath the yew tree.
她熟悉一个小小的角隅,那里有棵紫杉树,树下有个座位。
②They arrived at a farmhouse,in front of which sat a small boy.
他们来到一个农家,屋前坐着位小男孩。
当然我们也可以不用倒装。
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.
这种句子的倒装通常不被人注意!
类型二
虚拟语气的状语从句,可以将助动词或联系动词be置于主语前面,取代联系词 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.
当然我们可以不倒装。
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.
这种做法简化了句子,加强了语气。但不是所有的条件句都可以,只有在虚拟语气的条件句才可以,原因在虚拟语气上,等说到虚拟语气时再说!
类型三
当我们强调否定意义时,我们将否定副词移前,若有助动词或联系动词be就将其提前,没有的话就加上助动词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.
当然我们可以不倒装!
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 .
因为我们强调否定,所以我们将否定副词(或副词短语)前置,但副词又要尽可能的靠近被修饰词(动词)。此时的动词不是强调的重点,它不能动,权衡之下,将动词的一部分(助动词)前置,就形成了上面的形式。
类似的副词有never, seldom, rarely, little, hardly, scarcely, no sooner, no longer, nowhere等等。
类型四
① You are young and so am I.
② If he can do it, so can I.
这没什么好说的,这是经过省略的句子。
除了以上四种类型的倒装句外,还有许多其他的,其中最常见的有以下几种:
①“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(强调):
Only then did he realize that he was wrong.
Only in this way are you able to do it well.
②“so+adj. / adv.”位于句首时的倒装
副词so后接形容词或副词位于句首时(强调):
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在比较句中
在比较状语从句中因主语较长,或带有较长的修饰语时可倒装,也可不用
He ran as fast as did the person who came from England.
American consumed more energy than did our country.
