谓语的全部或一部分(助动词或情态动词)放在主语之前的现象称为倒装,而各种纷繁复杂的倒装方式,一直在考研英语中频频出现。今天,北外网课(北京外国语大学网络课程)老师就为大家整理了倒装句的各类不同用法,一起来看看吧。
当连词as 表示“虽然、尽管”引导让步状语从句时,句子要倒装,as 相当于though,可以替换。
Tired as/though he was, he went onworking. (=Although he was very tired,he went on working.) 虽然他很累,他还是接着工作。
Cold as/though it was, we went out. 虽然天气冷,我们还是出去了。
Child as/though she is, she knows a greatdeal. 她虽然是个孩子,但她懂得很多。
Teacher as he is, he knows little aboutteaching. 尽管他是个老师,但不懂什么教学。
Pilots as he claims he is, no one has everseen him fly a plane. 尽管他声称是个飞行员,但谁也没见过他非飞机。
注意后四句是可数名词单数作表语并提前,习惯上不用冠词。
虚拟语气条件从句中的if 被省略时,要把从句中的were, had 或should 移到主语之前。(if 的省略、倒装只限于从句中有were, had 或should这三个词时。)
If I had been in your place, I wouldn’t have givenit up so early. =Had I been in yourplace, I wouldn’t have given it up so early. 如果我在你的位置,我不会这样早放弃。
If he were to succeed, the sun would risefrom the west. =Were he tosucceed, the sun…. 如果他能成功,太阳就会从西边出来。
以so开头的,表示“也一样”,“也这样”的句子要倒装。So 用于肯定句,代替上文中的形容词、名词或动词,通常指前面所说的肯定情况也适用于其他人或物。结构是“so + be (do, have 其他助动词或情态动词)+主语”。
Society has changed and so have the peoplein it. 社会变了, 社会上的人也变了。
Coal is under the ground, and so is oil. 煤在地底下,石油也是。
注意:如果只是对前句的内容表示同意,则不要倒装。
t was hot yesterday. ?So it was! 昨天很热。是的。
Tomorrow will be Monday. ?So it will. 明天星期一。对。
在so…..that…..结构中,如果so 在句首,通常也用倒装结构。
So easy is it that a boy can learn it. 那很容易,小孩子都能学。
(原句是:It is so easy that a boy can learn it.)
So rapidly did he speak that we couldhardly understand him clearly. 他说得很快,我们简直听不清楚。
(原句是:He spoke so rapidly that we could hardly understand him clearly.)
以neither与nor开头的句子,表示“…也不”时,句子倒装。Neither 与nor 意思相同,可以互换。Neither, nor 用于否定句,通常指前面所说的否定情况也适用于其他人或物。结构是:Neither (nor) + be (do, have, 其他助动词或情态动词) +主语。
I won’t do such a thing.Nor/Neither will anyone else. 我不会做这样的事,别人也不会。 The first one wasn’t good andneither was the second. **个不好,第二个也不好。
以here, there, now, then 等副词开头的句子中。习惯上用一般现在时(除以then开头的句子用过去时)。
There comes the bus! 汽车来了。
Now comes your turn. 该轮到你了。
Then came a new difficulty. 接着来了个新难题。
Then followed three days of heavy rain. 后来连着下了三天大雨。
Up went the plane. 飞起来了飞机。
Our rushed a cat from under the bed. 从床底下窜出一只猫。 H
在这种句型中,如果主语是代词时就不倒装。
There he comes. 他来了。
Here it is. 这就是。
