倒 裝

　　倒裝語序有兩類: 全部倒裝和部分倒裝。

　　全部倒裝：指謂語部分全部提到主語之前;

　　部分倒裝：指謂語的一部分提到主語之前。

　　倒裝語序常出現(xiàn)在下列情況中:

　　1. 為避免句子部分內(nèi)容重復(fù), 英語中常用倒裝句,即: so (neither, nor)+be動詞(助動詞, 情態(tài)動詞)+主語。

　　My fater is an engineer; so is my husband.

　　Jane didn’t attend my class yesterday; nor did Torris.

　　"John can’t swim." "Neither can I.""約翰不會游泳。" "我也不會。"

　　[提示]如表示贊同別人的陳述, so后面的部分不倒裝。

　　"Jim is a good-swimmer."

　　"So he is, and so is Dick."

　　2. 具有否定意義的詞或短語置于句首時(shí), 句子一般部分倒裝,即將be動詞、助動詞或情態(tài)動詞提到主語前。這類詞或短語包括: not, never, seldom, hardly, rarely, scarcely, by no means, under no circumstances, in no way, at no time, no sooner…(then), hardly …(when), not only…(but also)等。

　　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.

　　At no time should you give up studying.在任何時(shí)候你都不應(yīng)放棄讀書。

　　[提示]

　　(1)如果句首的否定詞修飾主語, 是主語的一部分, 則句子不用倒裝。

　　Scarcely a drop of rain fell last month.

　　(2) as或though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句常用倒裝。一般將一些形容詞、副詞等置于句首。

　　Prominent as he is in his field, he remains easy-going.

　　Wealthy as he is, I don’t envy him.

　　3. 當(dāng)so, often, only等表示程度或頻率的副詞置于句首時(shí), 句子一般倒裝。

　　So great was the destruction that the south took decades to recovery.

　　Often does he warn us not to touch the poisonous chemicals.

　　Only in this way can we accomplish it on time.

　　4. 當(dāng)there, here, then, now等副詞置于句首, 且謂語動詞為come, go, be等詞時(shí),句子一般全部倒裝。此類倒裝句旨在引起別人注意。但如果主語是代詞。句子則不倒裝。

　　Look! Here comes the taxi.

　　Here are some letters for you to type.

　　Then came the chairman.

　　5. 當(dāng)out, in, away, up, bang等方位或擬聲詞置于句首時(shí), 句子一般全部倒裝。此類倒裝句比正常程序的句子的更生動、形象。但如主語是代詞, 句子則不倒裝。

　　Away flew the bird.

　　Bang goes my ace.

　　Away she went.

　　Ahe

　　虛擬語氣

　　表示對不可能發(fā)生的事實(shí)的一種假設(shè);或?qū)σ呀?jīng)發(fā)生過的事實(shí)進(jìn)行一種相反情況的假設(shè);

　　一、虛擬式用于非真實(shí)條件句時(shí)的構(gòu)成

　　If I had time, I would go to the movies with you.

　　If we hadn’t made adequate preparations, the conference, wouldn’t have been so successful.

　　If it were to rain tomorrow, the game would be put off.

　　[提示]

　　1. 在非真實(shí)條件句中, 有時(shí)從句的動詞所表示的動作和主句的動詞所表示的動作并不同時(shí)發(fā)生,這樣的條件句中使用的虛擬式稱為混合虛擬式。其構(gòu)成視具體情況而定。

　　If I had taken my raincoat when I came out this morning, I would not be wet now.

　　If I were you, I wouldn’t have missed the film last night.

　　2. 當(dāng)虛擬條件句的謂語動詞含有were, should, had時(shí)，if可以省略，這時(shí)條件從句要用倒裝語序，即將were, should, had等詞置于句首，這種多用于書面語

　　If I were you, I wouldn’t feel sorry.

　　→Were I you, I wouldn’t feel sorry.

　　3. 有些句子從表層結(jié)構(gòu)上看無if引導(dǎo)的非真實(shí)條件句, 但從深層意思上看是存在的。這種情況下主句動詞仍需用虛擬式。這類句子中常出現(xiàn)without(如果沒有), but for(要不是),otherwise(否則), but that(若不, 后接一從句)等詞或詞組。

　　But for your help, they couldn’t have succeeded.

　　要不是你的幫助, 他們就不會取得成功。

　　She wasn’t feeling well. Otherwise she wouldn’t have left the meeting so early.

　　她感不舒服。不然她不會那么早就離開會場的。

　　二、虛擬式也可用于其他情況

　　2. 一想要(desire)二寧愿(prefer)三命令(order. command)四建議(advice. suggest. propose)五要求(demand. require. request. desire.insist)中，無論主句謂語動詞為何種時(shí)態(tài)，從句的謂語動詞都用：“should + 動詞原形”或只用“動詞原形”。

　　He insisted that he was right.

　　他堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為他是對的。

　　3. 虛擬式可用于wish后的賓語從句中, 表示與事實(shí)相反的愿望。
