第十一章 倒装
倒装结构主要用于某些特定的句型和强调某个句子成分。倒装语序有两类:一种是将谓语的一部分助动词提到主语之前,没有助动词,则加do,does或did,称为“不完全倒装”或“部分倒装”;另一种是将整个谓语动词部分全部提到主语之前,不用助动词,称为“完全倒装”或“全部倒装”。针对全真考题,我们将详细说明以下几种倒装形式。
1. 为避免句子部分内容重复,英语中常用倒装句,即:so (neither,nor)+be动词 (助动词,情态动词)+主语。表示“前面所说情况也适用于另一人(或东西)”的句子,neither,nor为否定句。【例句】
My father is an engineer; so is my husband.
Jane didn’t attend my class yesterday; nor did Tom.
Society has changed and so have the people in it. 社会变了,人也跟着变了。 We do not believe their nice word and nor are we intimidated by their bluster. 我们既不相信他们的甜言蜜语,也不怕他们的恐吓威胁。 【实例】
The organization had broken no rules, but ______ had it acted responsibly. A. neither B. so C. either D. both (1996.1) 该组织虽没有违反规定,却也不够负责。答案A ? 注:如表示赞同别人的陈述,so后面的部分不倒装。
“Jim is a good-swimmer.” “So he is, and so is Dick.”
2. 具有否定意义的词或短语置于句首时,句子一般部分倒装,即将be动词、助动词或情态动词提到主语,用于进行“对比”。这类词或短语包括:not,never,nowhere,seldom,hardly,rarely,little,scarcely,by no means, under no circumstances, in no way, at no time, in no way,on no account,at no point,in no case, no sooner… (than), hardly... (when), not only... (but also), not until,in vain,not once,still less等,只要是放在句首,句子就要倒装。 【例句】
Never has my brother been abroad before.
Hardly had I sat down when I heard someone knocking at the door.
No sooner had he returned than he bought a fine house and went to live there.
Rarely could he have been faced with so difficult a choice. 他很少碰到过这样两难的局面。 Never before has our country been as united as it is today. 今天我们的国家空前团结。
Hardly/Scarcely had he finished when someone rose to refute his points。他还没说完,就有人
起来驳斥他的论点。
No sooner had he arrived there than he fell ill. 他一到那儿就病了。
Under no circumstances should we do anything that will benefit ourselves but harm the interests of the state. 任何情况下,我们不应当做只对自己有利而损害国家利益的事情。 【实例】
We have been told that under no circumstances ______ the telephone in the office for personal affairs.
A. may we use B. we may use C. we could use D. did we use (1999. 6)
我们被告之在任何情况下都不能用办公室的电话办私事。答案A ? 注:如果句首的否定词修饰主语,是主语的一部分,则句子不用倒装。
Scarcely a drop of rain fell last month.
3. as引导的让步状语从句,意思为“虽然……”、“尽管……”常用倒装。as相当于though,常用于名词(形容词、副词、动词)+ as+ 主语+ be或其他动词(名词单数省去冠词)。 【例句】
Child as he is, he knows a great deal。
Prominent as he is in his field, he remains easy-going. Wealthy as he is, I don’t envy him.
Much as 1 would like to help, I have other work I must do.虽然我很愿意提供帮助,但是我有其他工作一定得我去做。
4. 当only,so,often,well,many a time,now and again等表示程度、方式或频率的副词置于句首时,句子一般部分倒装。 【例句】
Only in this way can we accomplish it on time.
So great was the destruction that the south took decades to recovery. Often does he warn us not to touch the poisonous chemical?
Well do I remember the stories he told us about our beloved Premier Zhou 我清楚记得他给我们讲的敬爱的周总理的事迹。
Many a time has John given me good advice。约翰多次给我提了中肯的意见。 【实例】
Only under special circumstances ______ to take make-up tests. A. are freshmen permitted B. freshmen are permitted C. permitted are freshmen D. are permitted freshmen (1997.6) 大学一年级学生只有在特殊情况下才被允许补考。答案A ? 注:only用来说明主语,则主谓语不倒装。
Only you could do a thing like that。只有你才能干那样的事。
5. “so/ such +形容词/副词”位子句首的半倒装:
在带有”so/ such…that…”(如此……以致……)的复合句中,为了强调可把”so/ such…”置于句首,此时主句的主谓语要半倒装。
【例句】
So fast does light travel that it is difficult for us to imagine its speed. 光这么快,我们很难想象它的速度。
So busy is he that he has no time to write a letter. 他忙得没有时间写信。
So loudly did he speak that even people in the next room could hear him. 他讲话声音如此之大
连隔壁房间里的人都听得见。
So great was the honor that the winner of the foot race gave his name to the year of his victory. 赛跑手获胜的荣誉非常之高,他的名字用来命名他获胜的年份。
Such a noise did he make that his roommate told him to be quiet. 他发出那么大的噪音,他的室友让他安静。
To such an extent do parents love their son that they have tried to satisfy every demand of his. 父母如此爱儿子以致于他们会尽量满足他的每一个要求。
6. 反意问句后半部的半倒装:
反意问句前半部若为肯定句,则后半部的疑问部分为否定半倒装;若前半部为否定句,则后半部为肯定半倒装。
【例句】
You owe me $20, don’t you? 你欠我二十美元吧?
You are from New York, aren’t you? 你是纽约人,是吗? John speaks Chinese, doesn’t he? 约翰会说中文,是吧? You have been to England, haven’t you? 你去过英国,是吗? You don’t smoke, do you? 你不吸烟吧? You aren’t tired, are you? 你不累吧?
Jane doesn’t know Japanese, does she? 珍妮不懂日文,是吗?
You haven’t heard from him, have you? 你还没有收到他的信,是吗? 7. 为了强调或保持句子平衡的全倒装:
当一个句子没有宾语而主语又比较长,常可把状语或表语提前到句首,同时谓语全部放到主语前,形成全倒装。这样做的目的是使句子保持平衡避免头重脚轻,同时也给句首的状语,表语以一定的强调。 【例句】
Under a tree was sitting one of the biggest men I have ever seen. 树下坐着一个人,我从来没有见过象他这么大的个子。
On the bed lay a beautiful young girl。床上躺着一位年轻貌美的女子。
In these waters are found various mineral elements that are beneficial to our health. 这些水源中存在有对人体健康有益的各种矿物元素

Hidden under ground is a wealth of gold, silver, copper and lead. 地下埋藏着大量的金、银、铜和铅。
Running across it is a stream named Peach Brook.穿过这里有一条小溪叫桃花溪。
8. 为了叙述生动的全倒装:
写一个情景时,为了使之形象生动,我们把句中的副词如:up,down,off,away,in,out,及bang等拟声词置于句首时,句子一般全部倒装。句中主语必须是名词,而谓语则是不及物动词。
【例句】
Up went the rocket. 火箭轰地上了天。
Down came the hammer and out flew the sparks. 哨地一声槌子打了下来,火星飞散出去。 Away hurried the hunters. 猎人们匆忙走了。 Away flew the bird.
Out rushed the boys. 小男孩们呼地冲了出去。 Bang came another shot. 砰的又是一枪。 Bang went the fireworks. Click-click went the weaving loom. 织机卡嗒卡嗒地响着。 ? 注:但如果句中主语是代词,则主谓语不倒装:
Away they hurried. 他们匆忙地走了。 Out he rushed. 他冲了出去。
Back he went again. 他又回去了。
9. 当there,here,then,now等副词置于句首,且谓语动词为come,go,be,follow等动词时,句子—般全部倒装。此类倒装句旨在引起别人注意。此时主语是名词,如果主语是代词,则句子不倒装。
【例句】
Here comes the bus. 公共汽车来了。 Here is a letter for you. 这是你的信。 There goes the bell. 铃响了。
There is a man at the door. 门口有个男子。
Then came wind, hail and frost. 接着是风灾、雹灾和霜冻。
Then followed a series of battles against the invaders. 接着是抵抗入侵者的一系列战役。
10. 比较状语从句中为平衡而倒装
He is younger than are the other students in his class. 他比班里其他同学年龄小。
He travelled a great deal as did most of his friends. 他去过许多地方旅行,他的大多数朋友也是。
第十二章 强调
1. 一般强调结构
强调结构为:It is (was) … that…。句型中的that可用于各种场合。它可以用来强调句中的某些成分,如主语(从句)、宾语(从句)、状语(从句)等。如强调主语或宾语,则that可用who (指人),whom 或which (指物)来代替;如强调状语,则不能用when, where等代替,只能用that,注意强调结构不能用来强调谓语动词和表语。
【例句】
It was my uncle that (who) sent me the parcel.
It is the article that (which) they discussed last week.
It was because he was too careless that he broke all the glasses. It is in this room that I was born 30 years ago. 【实例】

2. 谓语动词前用do,does,did表示强调
在肯定句中,可以用do强调谓语部分,可译为“务必”、“一定”、“真的”、“确实”等。这时动词要用原形。
【例句】
He does like to eat noodles.
She did send me a postcard as I expected.
3. 强调词very用来加强名词的语气
1)very用在the,this,that,my,your,his等和名词之间,含义为“正(是)”,“就是”,“即使”,“仅仅”。
【例句】
This is the very dictionary we want. 这正是我们所要的词典。 He knows our very thoughts. 他知道我们的真实想法。
2)very可用来修饰作名词用的many,few,little等,含义为“非常的”,“极”。 【例句】

3)my (your, his等) very, own表示“绝对是某人自己”的意思。 【例句】

4. 其他
1) much,still,a lot/lots,a little,far / by far,a good / great deal常用来强调比较级,much和by far还可以强调最高级。 【例句】
This film is much better than that one. Tom is by far the tallest in our class.
John spent a little more than ten dollars on this book.
2) 含有“究竟”意义的词组the devil, the hell, the mischief, on earth, under the sun 用来加强疑问句。 【例句】
Who the devil is he?
Where under the sun did he go? 他究竟去哪了?
3) 强调句中可以用might,must have been等表示“推断”“可能”之类的词,这样强调程度有所减弱。 【例句】
