倒裝是高中英語語法的重要組成部分,分為語法倒裝和修飾倒裝。根據倒裝方式的不同又可將其分成三類,即全部倒裝、部分倒裝、強調部分提前與主謂順序無關的倒裝。例如:
I write a book.
全部倒裝為: Write I a book. (全部倒裝要將整個謂語部分提到主語的前面)
部分倒裝為: Do I write a book. (部分倒裝就是將原句變為一般疑問句)
強調部分提前與主謂順序無關的倒裝為: a book I write.
一、全部倒裝
1. 以副詞如:表示地點的副詞here/there,表時間的副詞now/then,表位移的副詞up/down, in/out, away, off 等開頭,且主語為名詞的句子要全部倒裝。例如:
①The bus comes here.
倒裝句為:Here comes the bus.
(此句滿足了以上兩個條件:以副詞開頭;主語是名詞)
②When the bell rang, the children rushed out.
倒裝句為:When the bell rang, out rushed the children.
注意:下面這樣的句子就不能全部倒裝。
③He came here.
只能改為: Here he came.
(此句只滿足了副詞開頭的條件,而另一個條件,主語必須是名詞沒有滿足,故不能改成全部倒裝句)
2. 表示方位的介詞短語開頭(不管介詞短語是在主句的開頭還是在從句的開頭)。例如:
①A boy stood in front of the classroom.
倒裝句為: In front of the classroom stood a boy.
②A little girl sat between the old couple.
倒裝句為:Between the old couple sat a little girl.
③I used to live in a small village, throught which flowed a river.
陳述句為: A small river flowed a river.
④When we got to the playground, we found a sign on which was written “wet paint”.
陳述句為:“wet paint” was written on the sign.
3. 表語提前的倒裝(一般情況下含有be動詞的短語構成的句子都可以變成表語提前的倒裝形式)。例如:
①Chairman Xi was present at the meeting.習主席出席了這次會議。
倒裝句為:Present at the meeting was Chairman Xi. 出席會議的有習主席。
②Some students were seated on the ground. 一些學生坐在地上。
倒裝句為: Seated on the ground were some students. 地上坐著一些學生。
③His father is following him. 他的爸爸正跟著他。
倒裝句為:Following him is his father. 跟著他的是他的爸爸。
④Some tools he used when he was alive were buried with him. 一些他生前使用過的工具和他埋在一起。
倒裝句為:Buried with him were some tools he used when he was alive. 和他埋在一起的是一些他生前使用過的工具。
二、將句子變為一般疑問句的部分倒裝
1. only加狀語開頭,例如:
①We can achieve success only by working hard.
倒裝句為:Only by working hard can we achieve success.
②I go to school on foot only when it rains.
倒裝句為:Only when it rains do I go to school on foot.
③The whole thing makes sense only if you show us the evidence.
