倒裝句是英語考試中經(jīng)常會出現(xiàn)的考點(diǎn)。為了突出或者強(qiáng)調(diào)等目的,將原有的主謂語序進(jìn)行顛倒就構(gòu)成了倒裝句。倒裝句分為完全倒裝和部分倒裝兩種形式。將謂語動詞整個移到主語之前是完全倒裝結(jié)構(gòu);只將助動詞或者情態(tài)動詞移到主語之前是部分倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)。
一、完全倒裝
完全倒裝就是把謂語動詞全部提前至主語之前。考試中常見的有以下幾種情況:
1.句首為 here, there, then 等引導(dǎo)的句子,一般謂語動詞都會被提前,形成完全倒裝(主謂倒裝)。如:
Here comes our school bus. (如果是正常語序的話,應(yīng)該為Our school bus comes.)
2.句首為介詞短語,且句子中的動詞是不及物動詞時。如:
In the front of the playground sat our English teach-er.
3.句首為表語,并且主語較長或者結(jié)構(gòu)太復(fù)雜,這時候要用全部倒裝,以免主語看著比較冗長。如:
Present at this room are my best friend Jerry and my deskmate Mary.
Among the food has potatoes, tomatoes, hamburg-er and other dessert.
4.句首為so, neither, nor 開頭的句子,表示句子后半部分的情況與前半句的相同,且前后兩句的謂語、時態(tài)一致,倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)為so/neither/nor +系動詞/助動詞/情態(tài)動詞。如:
She is good at English, so is her elder sister.
She is not good at English, neither/nor is her elder sister.
二、部分倒裝
部分倒裝就是把一部分謂語(通常是助動詞)放在主語之前。常見的有以下幾種情況:
1.否定副詞,如seldom, never,little, hardly, scarcely, no sooner 等位于句首時,要用部分倒裝,將助動詞提前。如:
Seldom does she buy clothes online.
Little does he realize the im-portance of the study.
在這里要注意的一點(diǎn)是如果句首是not…until, not until...,后面要倒裝的是主句。如:
正常語句:She didnt leave the classroom until homework was finished.
倒裝句:Not until homework was finished did she leave the class-room. (只倒裝主句)
2.if 從 句 的 倒 裝 ,要 將 if 去 掉 ,將 were, had,should 置于主語前。如:
正常語句:If you had finished your homework,you would join us.
倒 裝 句 :Had you finished your homework, you would join us.
3.as引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句中,從句要倒裝,將形容詞、名詞(不加冠詞)、副詞、分詞等提到主語之前。如:
Young as Tom is, he knows to take care of his sick mom.
4.句首為so修飾的形容詞或者副詞,only修飾副詞或者狀語時,要部分倒裝。如:
Only in this way can you get prize. (注意:如果on-ly 修飾的是主語,則無需倒裝,如:Only Mary can do this.)
So smart is he that he can solve this problem.
綜上所述,倒裝句的知識內(nèi)容比較多,且比較雜,以上列舉了幾處常見考點(diǎn),供學(xué)生重點(diǎn)記憶。教師需要引導(dǎo)學(xué)生細(xì)心歸納總結(jié),幫助學(xué)生形成系統(tǒng)的知識框架。
