英语倒装句的用法讲解


倒装是一种语法手段〃用于表示一定 的句子结构或强调某一句子成分。倒装句有两种：完全倒装和
部分倒装。
完全倒装
1) 完全倒装即把整个谓语放到主语之前(是整个谓语动词〃而非助动词)。
例如：The teacher came in and the class began.(没有倒装)
In came the teacher and the class began. (老师走了进来〃然后开始上课。)
2) there引出的完全倒装句：除了最常见的there be句型以外〃there还可以接appear, exist, lie, remain,
seem to be, stand等〃一般都译成有的含义〃构成完全倒装句。
例如：There appeared to be a man in black in the distance.(远处有个穿黑色衣服的人。)
3) 由地点和时间副词引出的完全倒装句：以地点副词here, there和时间副词now, then 开头〃后面的
动词是be, come, exist, fall, follow, go, lie, remain, seem, stand等〃而主语又是名词时〃构成完全倒装句。
Up climbed the boy when his mother came.
4)表示运动方向的副词或地点状语置于句首〃谓语表示运动的动词且主语是名词时使用完全倒装
5)在强调状语时1)当句首状语为方位词或拟声词〃谓语动词为go, come等表示位置转移的动词时句
子须倒装。例如：
1 Up went the plane.
2 In came the chairman and the meeting began.
注：如果主语是代词则不发生倒装。例如：
1 Out they rushed!
2 Lower and lower he bent.
(2) 当句首状语为表示地点的介词词组时〃句子须倒装。例如：
1 Round the corner walked a large policeman.
2Under the table was lying a half-conscious young man.
3 当句首状语由“only +副词”〃“only +介词词组”〃“only +状语从句”构成时〃句子须倒装。例如：
1 Only yesterday did he find out that his watch was missing. (不属于完全倒装)
2 Only because there were some cancelled bookings did he get some tickets in the end.
(6)当句首状语为here, there, now, then等时〃句子须倒装〃主语是代词时〃句子不用倒装。例如：
1)Here is a ticket for you.
2)Now comes your turn.
3)Here he comes.
(7)以关联词so (…that)开头的句子中〃句子须倒装。例如：
1)So small was the mark that I could hardly see it.

2)So quickly did the workmen finish their work that they were given a bonus.
3)So much does he worry about his financial position that he can’t sleep at night.
注：在该结构中〃“so +形容词”是表语的前置;“so +副词”是状语的前置。
.在直接引语之后
在叙事性书面语中〃直接引语后常跟asked Mary, answered John, said the old lady, grunted Peter之类的
词语。在这些
词语中〃动词常的主语之前〃主语是代词时〃不用倒装。例如：
1)“What do you mean?” asked Henry.
2)“What do you mean?” he asked.
. often, many a time等表示频度的状语置于句首时
例如：Often did they think of going there, but they never had a chance.
12.在as, though引导的让步状语从句中
在as, though引导的让步状语从句中〃一般将形容词、副词或名词等置于句首。例如：
1)Small as the atom is, we can smash it.
2)Big as the workpiece is, it is turned out with
Out rushed a missile from under the bomber. 轰炸机肚底下窜出一枚导弹。
Out he rushed.
注意：
1) 在here, there引出的倒装句中〃当主语是普通名词时用完全倒装句〃但当主语是代词时〃就要 用
部分倒装句。
例：Here comes the postman!(邮递员终于来了!注意实意谓语动词位于主语之前。)
Here we are.(我们到了。注意系动词位于主语代词之后。)
2) 当主语是代词〃谓语是系动词〃表 语是说明性的词、词组和定语从句时〃可以使用完全倒装句〃
起强调作用。
例：Lucky is he who has been enrolled into a famous university.(他真幸运〃被一所名牌大学录取了。)
Typical for China is the crosstalk show where a pair of comedians entertains the audience with word play.(中
国典型的是相声表演〃两个喜剧演员通过文字游戏逗乐观众)
部分倒装解析
1) 部分倒装即只把谓语的一部分(如助动词、情态动词等)放到主语前〃或把句子的强调成分提前。
Nor did he let the disease stop him from living the kind of life he has always dreamt about(疾病没有使他放
弃过上梦想中的生活)
2) 以否定词开头的句子要求部分倒装。注意下列句子中助动词或情态动词提前、甚至补充助动词的
用法： 例：Not until yesterday did little John change his mind.(小约翰直到昨天才改变了主意。) In no
country other than Britain, it had been said, can one experience four seasons in the course of a single day.(据说除
了英国世界上没有哪个国家能让人在一天中感受到四季变化)
3) 以否定副词开头并加状语放在句首的句子要求部分倒装。这些否定副词有barely, hardly, little,

seldom, scarcely…… when, never, no sooner…… than, rarely, no more, not nearly, not only等以及only。 Only
in the country can you learn the “true English”.
4)一些如scarcely……when, no sooner ……than, hardly……when引导的主从复合句主句要求使用过去
完成式。 注意：在部分倒装句中〃只有助动词、情态动词或连系动词to be可以置于主语之前〃其它部分
都要置于主语之后。
5)此外〃一些介词+no+名词的结构中需要用部分倒装〃这些结构包括at no time; by no means; by no
manner of means; for no reason; in no case; inunder no circumstances; in no sense; in no way; on no account; on
no consideration; at no point例如Under no circumstances should you lend Paul any money. 注意：
a) 如果含有从句时〃只要求主句倒装： 例：Only after he had spoken out the word did he realize he
had made a big mistake.(只有当他已经说出那个字后才意识到自己犯了个大错误。)
b) 如果上述否定副词出现在强调句型中的前半部分〃不用倒装：
例： It was not until he went abroad that he knew the truth of the fact.(直到他出国以后才了解到事实真
相。)
c) 如果hardly, scarcely后面接的是any, ever, at all时〃意义类似almost no not never(几乎不、从不)〃
则无须倒装。
例：Hardly any people invited went there.(几乎没有什么受到邀请的人去那里了。)
6) 由no matter how, however和how引导的状语从句要求部分倒装〃因为形容词或副词通 常紧跟在这
三个引导词后面〃然后才是主语和谓语〃形成形式上的部分倒装句：
例：I know nothing about this river, neither how long, how wide nor how deep it is.(我一点也不了解这条
河〃不知道它有多长〃多宽或多深。)
7) 由as引导的部分倒装句：
a) 当as作为比较意义时〃即用于as + adj. adv. + as结构中时〃如果把第一个as省略掉〃就形成部分
倒装句。
例：Cautious as the rest of her family (was) , she didn't seem willing to give an immediate reply to my
question.(正如她家里人一样谨慎小心〃她似乎不愿意立即回答我的问题。)
She charged the stairs, quick as a rabbit (ran).(她跑上楼去〃跑得象兔子那么快!)
b) 当 as引导让步状语时〃和although, though一样〃当用作“尽管”之义时〃可以用于部分倒装句。
Hard as he worked, he did not pass the exam.(虽然他很用功〃但他还是没及格)
c) 表示原因时〃为了强调起见〃也可以倒装。
例：Tired as he was, we decided not to disturb him.(因为他太累了〃我们决定不打扰他。)
d) 等于so时〃意义是“也〃也是”
例：She worked hard, so as did her husband. (她工作很努力〃她的丈夫工作也很努力。)
so, neither, nor倒装
除了构成上述倒装句以外〃还可以取代上文出现的名词、形容词甚至整句话〃构成完全倒装句或部
分倒装 句。但这两种倒装的意义不同。

a) 当so表示“也〃相同〃那样”时〃通常表示对前一句肯定句的赞同、一致内容〃要求使用完全倒装
句：
He promised to finish my homework, so did I.
b) so such ……that句型可以构成部分倒装句〃表示强调so such和that之间的部分：
例：So selfish was she that everyone avoid talking with her.
c)也存在such+be+主语的情况用以强调〃例如Such was Albert Einstein, a simple man of great
achievements.(阿尔伯特?爱因斯坦是一个有伟大成就的普通人)
d) neither和nor共有4种倒装形式〃其含义分别为：
1) 完全倒装时：表示也不〃和上文a)用法正好相反〃表示对前一句否定句的赞同或一致内容。
例：You don't know what to do now, neither nor do I .(你不知道现在该做什么〃我也不知道。)
2) 和其它否定副词连用〃表示也(不)〃也要求用完全倒装句：
例：The besieged enemy could not advance, nor neither retreat could they .(被包围的敌人既不能进〃也
不能退。)
注意：若把这句话改成：被包围的敌人既不能
进〃也不能退。)就不必倒装。
She never laughed, nor did she ever lose her temper.
3) 用在肯定句里〃构成一般否定倒装：
例：All that is true, nor must we forget it.(那全都是真的〃我们可不能忘记。)
部分倒装作用
有承上启下作用〃表示同意和赞同：
例：A: I couldn't do anything for her.(我帮不了她。)
B: Nor you could, but you might have got somebody to help her.(你是不能帮她〃但你本可以找人帮她
的。)
2) 在进行比较的句子里〃如果主语不是代词时〃可以倒装：
例：America consumes more energy than did our country.(美国消耗的能源比我们国家多。)
3)在某些表示祝愿的句型中要求倒装。如May you happy.
4)在文学作品中常出现倒装〃有些是由于语法习惯〃有些是为了简单的修辞〃如Not even one cloud
will I bring away(不带走一片云彩).
不用倒装的地方
注:如果only后面的词组不是状语,则不用倒装.
Only Wang Ling knows this .
如果直接引语后注明引语是什么人说的〃而且主 语是名词时〃用倒装结构;主语是代词时〃一般不用
倒装。
