(十二)倒装句
A. 知识要点
? 什么是倒装句?倒装句是指将句子的谓语动词或其助动词放在主语之前。
英语中最常见的倒装句是疑问句。 e.g. between two countries. 于是两国之间开始了战争。(全部倒装)
have felt as comfortable
(部分倒装)
= We have seldom felt as comfortable as here.
我们难得像在这里这么舒服。
as here. 151
常用倒装的以下几种情况
1.句子结构的需要(语法和修辞上的需要)
(1)在as, though引导的让步状语从句中,从句往往放在主句的
前面,而且从句须以形容词、名词或动词(原形)等开头。 e.g. Hard as she studied, she failed this examination.
= Though she studied hard, she failed this examination.
(2)代词so, neither, nor等置于句首时, 表示―……也(不/没有)……‖全句要倒装
汤姆会讲英语,杰克也会. 汤姆讲英语,杰克也讲英语. 2.出于强调(半倒装——只把助动词提前)
never, seldom(很少), little, nor, hardly…when…, (一…就…) scarcely…when…, (一…就…) no sooner…than…;(一…就…), not only, not until等表示否定的词位于句首时;
e.g. Never in my lifea thing. = I have seen such a thing in my life.
我一生中从未见过这样的事情。
e.g. Not only , but also he saw it, too.
他不但听见了,而且也看见了。
B.例题讲解
1)Never before ______ seen such a terrible car accident on the road! (《大学英语》(B)Test 1, 39/ 2009年4月网考真题Paper Four-20) 152
A. I have B. have I C. I did D. did I
解析:never表示否定意义的词放在句首,要倒装,因此排除A和C选项;考查B选项,助动词用的have,与后面的动词原形seen一致,因此正确答案为B选项。
2)I
her explanation(解释), ______. (《大学英语》(B)Test 3, 42/2009年9月网考真题
Paper One-19)
C. so my classmates did
解析:用so, neither / nor引导句子表示与上文已经提到的肯定或否定意思一致时,so, neither / nor引导的句子要倒装,并且所用的谓语动词以及时态要与前面一句话的时态、谓语保持一致,因此正确答案为B选项。
3)Hardly_____on stage_____ the audience(观众) started cheering(欢呼). (《大学英语》(B)Test 4, 40)
A. he had come / than
B. he had come / when
C. had he come / when
D. had he come / than
解析:hardly
表示―几乎不‖,表示否定意义,放在句首要倒装。表示―一…就…‖因此正确答案为C选项。
153
4)Important _______ his discovery might be, it was regarded as a matter of no account in his time. (《大学英语》(B)Test 5, 42)
A. when B. until C. as D. although
解析:该句意思是―他的发明也许重要,但在他那个时代,它被视为一件不重要的事情。‖,可以句子的含义看出:前后两句话是转折的关系,因此要用as或though,因此正确答案为C选项。
(十三)强调结构
A. 知识要点
强调句的结构是:It is / was + 被强调部分 + that(who)+句子… 被强调的是时间、事件、地点用 that引出句子,被强调的是人用who引出句子。 e.g. Mrs. Brown came to visit our college on Wednesday.
→ on Wednesday that Mrs. Brown came to visit our college. 布郎太太正是在星期三来参观我们学院的.
on Wednesday
注意以下几点:
① 无论强调句子的什么成分,如时间、地点等,都用that引出句子的其他部分,而不用when, where;在强调人时还可用who / whom;
② It is / was not until … that …(直到……时,才……)是特殊的强调
句型中常见的强调时间状语从句的句式,that后用肯定式。
