只有用这种方法，你才可以解决这个问题。 Only yesterday did I finish this the book. 到昨天我才读完那本书。 表语位于句首时所引起的倒装
当作表语的形容词、副词、介词短语等位于句首时，常常引起倒装，其形式为完全倒装：
Aristotle says，“Plato is dear to me，but dearer still is truth.” 亚里斯多德说，“吾爱柏拉图，但更爱真理。”
Present at the meeting were Professor Smith，Professor Brown，Sir Hugh and many other celebrities.
到会的有史密斯教授、勃朗教授、休爵士以及许多其他知名人士。 状语位于句首时所引起的倒装
(1). 当位于句首的状语是一些表示地点的介词短语或表示运动方向的副词(如away，back，down，in，off，out，up)时，常常引起倒装，其形式为全部倒装。如：
Away went the runners. 赛跑手们刷地跑开了。 Down came the rain. 雨哗地落下来了。
(2).介词短语作地点状语，放在句首，后面跟的是不及物动词be,come,sit live,stand,lie,exist等时常常引起倒装，其形式为全部倒装。如： Next to the table is a chair. 桌旁有把椅子。
At the South Pole lies Antarctica, the coldest and most desolate region on earth.
南极洲位于南极，它是地球上最寒冷和最荒凉的地区。
状语从句中的倒装 (1).让步状语从句中的倒装 as引导的让步状语从句中的倒装：
在as引导的让步状语从句中，位于句首的可以是形容词、名词、副词，还可以是谓语动词的一部分，从而形成从句的部分倒装。如： Tires as he was, he continued the work. 虽然他累了，但是仍然继续工作。 (2).方式状语从句中的倒装
as引导的方式状语从句一般为正常语序，但是，如果主语比谓语长，可将谓语动词置于主语之前，形成完全倒装。如：
He believed，as did all his family，that the king was the supreme lord. 他和他全家人一样，都认为国王是至高无上的君主。 (3).比较状语从句的倒装
than引导的比较状语从句中的倒装：
由than引导的比较状语从句一般为正常语序。但是，如果主语较长，可将谓语动词置于主语之前，形成完全倒装：
Western Nebraska generally receives less snow than does eastern Nebraska.
内布拉斯加西部地区的降雪通常比东部地区少。 the more...，the more...结构中的倒装
在以the more...， the more...引导的倒装结构中，采用部分倒装;如果主句的主语较长，可将谓语动词置于主语之前，形成完全倒装。如： The more books you read(宾语提前)，the wider your knowledge is(表语提前).
书读得越多，知识就越渊博。 编辑本段
用于其他一些特殊句型中 用于有直接引语的句型中
在直接引语之后，“主语+ say/ ask之类的动词”可以用正语序，也可以倒装，在书面语中常用全部倒装。如：
--“What do you mean?” asked Henry. (or:…Henry asked.)
--“Perhaps he isn’t a bad sort of chap after all,” remarked Dave. --“I am aware of that,” replied the Englishman.
--“Please go away,” said one child. “ And don't come back,” pleaded another.
但是，主语是代词时不用倒装。请比较： --“What do you mean?” he asked.
--“Who’s paying?” shouted the fat man at the corner. “You are,” I answered.
用于表示祝愿/意愿的句型
这种祈求性虚拟语气一般只用于几种相当固定的说法中。如： --Long live the People’s Republic of China! --Far be it from me to spoil the fun.
“may + 主语 + 谓语”这种结构表示一种愿望或诅咒。 --May you live a long and happy life! --May the best man win!
--May he never set foot in this house again! --May you break your neck! 用于 “so…that…”句型中
把so置于句首的情形下，需要部分倒装。如：
--So absurd did he look that everyone stared at him.
--So suspicious did he become that…
--So vigorously did he protest that the authorities reconsidered his case.
用于as之后，表示状态和相似
倒装在文学体裁中有时出现在as之后，例如：
--She traveled a great deal, as did most of her friends.
--The present owner is a keen art collector, as were several of her ancestors.
--She looks forward, as does her secretary, to the completion of the building.
在条件和让步分句中 a. 用于条件句中
表达虚拟的if从句(非真实条件从句)中的if可以省略，句子呈现倒装。例如：
--Were I Tom I would refuse. (=If I were Tom…)
--Had I known what was going to happen, I would never have left her alone. (=If I had known …)
--Should you change your mind, no one would blame you. (= If you should change…)
b. 用于以as, though引导的表达让步的从句中
在这样的分句中，句子部分倒装。如果是though作引导词，句子可以用倒装也可以不用倒装，而如果是as为引导词，则一定要用倒装。如：
--Eloquent though/as she was, she could not persuade them. (or: Though she was eloquent…)
--Child though Tom was then, he had to earn his living. (= Though Tom was a child then…)
--Change your mind as you will, you will gain no additional support. 另外，that也可以象as, though一样用于倒装方式表示让步。如：
--Fool that he was, he managed to evade his pursuers. (= Even though he was a fool…)
--Poor that they were, they gave money to charity. (= Even though they were poor…) 用于感叹句中
感叹句通常采用正语序，即主语在前，谓语在后。但有时感叹句采用的却是疑问句的形式。尤其是在美国英语中，感叹句常常象普通疑问句。 --Isn’t it cold! 真冷! --Am I fed up! 我腻烦死了!
--Did he look annoyed! 他看来可气恼了! 编辑本段
涉及副词so的两类常考倒装 这类倒装主要见于以下两种情形：
1. 当副词so后接形容词或副词位于句首时，其后要用部分倒装。如： So cold was the weather that we had to stay at home. 天气太冷，我们只好呆在家里。
So fast does light travel that we can hardly imagine its speed. 光速很快，我们几乎没法想象它的速度。
So sudden was the attack that we had no time to escape. 袭击来得非常突然，我们来不及逃跑。
2. 当要表示前面提出的某一肯定的情况也同样适合于后者，通常就要用“So+助动词+主语”这种倒装结构。如：
You are young and so am I. 你年轻，我也年轻。 She likes music and so do I. 她喜欢音乐，我也喜欢。 If he can do it, so can I. 要是他能做此事，我也能。
