英语倒装句

可参考下面的说法

在英语中，我们把主语在前谓语动词在后的句子叫陈述句，把谓语动词放在主语前面的句子叫倒装句。如果全部谓语放在主语之前，叫完全倒装；如果只把助动词或情态动词放在主语之前就叫部分倒装。

　I. 完全倒装

　1. 用于 there be 句型。

　例如： There are some students in the classroom.

　教室里有几位学生。

　There is a tall tree in front of the classroom.

　教室的前面有一棵大树。

　2. 用于“ here （ there， now， then ）＋不及物动词＋主语”的句型中，或以 in， out， up， down， away 等副词开头的句子里，以表示强调。

　例如： Here comes the bus. 汽车来了。

　There goes the bell. 铃响了。

　Now comes your turn. 现在轮到你了。

　Out went the children. 孩子们出去了。

　注意：

　（ 1 ）主语是代词时，主语和谓语不倒装。

　（ 2 ） here ， there 放在句首通常用一般现在时。

　Here it is. 给你。（你要的东西在这儿。）

　Here he comes. 他来了。

　3. 当句首状语为表示地点的介词词组时，也常将其全部倒装。

　例如： South of the city lies a big steel factory.

　城市南边有一家大型钢厂。

　From the valley came a frightening sound.

　从山谷里传来了可怕的声音。

　4. 表语置于句首时，倒装结构为“表语＋连系动词＋主语”：

英语倒装句讲解

英语倒装句用法浅析 倒装（Inversion）是一种语法手段，用以表示一定句子结构的需要和强调某一句子成分的需要。

英语的最基本结构是主、谓结构，倒装就是将这种比较固定的结构加以颠倒。

倒装有两种：将主语和谓语完全颠倒过来，叫做完全倒装（Complete Inversion）。

如：In came a man with a white beard. 只将助动词（包括情态动词）移至主语之前，叫做部分倒装（Partial Inversion）。

如：Only once was John late to class. 英语句子的倒装一是由于语法结构的需要而进行的倒装，二是由于修辞的需要而进行的倒装。

前一种情况，倒装是必须的，否则就会出现语法错误；后一种情况，倒装是选择性的，倒装与否只会产生表达效果上的差异。

下面本文就拟从其修辞功能谈谈倒装句的用法。

一、 表示强调： 倒装句最突出、最常见的修辞效果就是强调，其表现形式如下： 1. only +状语或状语从句置于句首，句子用部分倒装。

例1:Only in this way can you solve this problem. 只有用这种方法，你才可以解决这个问题。

例2: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。

2. not, little, hardly, scarcely, no more, no longer, in no way, never, seldom, not only, no sooner等具有否定意义的词或词组位于句首，句子用部分倒装。

例1: No sooner had I got home than it began to rain. 我刚到家就下起了雨。

例2: Seldom do I go to work by bus. 我很少乘公共汽车上班。

3. so / such...that结构中的so或such位于句首可以构成部分倒装句，表示强调so /such和that之间的部分。

例1:So unreasonable was his price that everybody startled. 他的要价太离谱，令每个人都瞠目结舌。

例2:To such length did she go in rehearsal that the two actors walked out. 她的彩排进行得那么长，以致于那两个演员都走出去了。

以上各例都用倒装语序突出了句首成分，其语气较自然语序强烈，因而具有极佳的修辞效果。

二、 承上启下 有时倒装可把前一句说到的人或物，或与前一句有联系的人或物在下一句紧接着先说出来，从而使前后两句在意思上的关系更加清楚，衔接更加紧密，起到承上启下的作用。

例1: They broke into her uncle's bedroom and found the man lying on the floor, dead. Around his head was a brown snake. 他们破门进入她叔叔的卧室，发现他躺在地板上死了。

一条棕褐色的蛇缠在他头上。

例2: We really should not resent being called paupers. Paupers we are, and paupers we shall remain. 我们确实不应因为被称作穷光蛋而愤愤不平。

我们的确是穷光蛋，而且还会继续是穷光蛋。

三、 制造悬念，渲染气氛 在新闻或文学创作中，有时为了内容的需要，或是为了强调，作者常常运用倒装来制造悬念，渲染气氛。

如： Hanging on the wall was a splendid painting. 墙上挂着一幅精美的图画。

再如朗费罗（Longfellow）《雪花》中的一节： Out of the bosom of the Air, Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken, Over the woodlands brown and bare, Over the harvest-fields forsaken, Silent, and soft, and slow, Descends the snow. 在这一节诗里 ，诗人就富有创意地运用了倒装。

在前五行中 ，诗人堆砌了七个状语，状语连续出现而主语和谓语却迟迟未露 ，造成一种悬念效应。

全节读罢 ，读者才对诗歌的主题恍然大悟 ，因而收到了不同凡响的艺术效果。

四、 平衡结构 英语修辞的一个重要原则是尾重原则，即把句子最复杂的成分放在句尾以保持句子平衡。

在语言使用中为了避免产生头重脚轻、结构不平衡的句子，我们常采用倒装语序。

1. 以作状语的介词短语开头：当主语较长或主语所带修饰语较长时，为了使句子平衡，常将状语置于句首，句子用完全倒装语序。

例1:A. To the coal mine came a com-pany of PLA soldiers with orders from the headquarters to rescue the trapped miners. B. A company of PLA soldiers came to the coal mine with orders from the headquarters to rescue the trapped miners. 一个连队的解放军战士来到了那座煤矿，奉司令部之命解救受困的矿工。

例2:A. On the ground lay some air conditioners, which are to be shipped to some other cities. B. Some air conditioners lay on the ground, which are to be shipped to some other cities. 地上放着一些空调，等着用船运到其他城市去。

从例句中可看出， 采用倒装语序的A句结构平衡稳妥 ，读起来自然流畅，而采用自然语序的B句结构零乱， 读起来也别扭。

因而，在主语较长时就应采用倒装语序以取得理想的表达效果。

2. 以表语开头的句子：有时为了把较长的主语放在后面，须将表语和谓语都提到主语前。

如： Such would be our home in the future. 我们将来的家就是这个样子。

3. 以副词here , there开头的句子，也采用完全倒装来保持句子平衡。

如： Here is the letter you have been looking forward to. 你盼望已久的信在这儿。

五、 使描写生动 有时为了使叙述或描绘更加生动形象，增加语言效果，可将表示方向的副词（如：down, up, out, in, off, on, away等）或拟声词（b...

英语倒装句例句

No word did he say before he left. 他一句话没说就走了。

Seldom does he come late. 他很少迟到.Little did I know about it. 我对它了解得不多。

Not only did he come, but also he brought us good news. 他不但来了，而且给我们带来了好消息。

So fast is he running that he can keep up with the bike. 他跑得快得能跟上自行车.Only then did he know he was wrong. 直到那时他才知道他错了.Among the goods are books, exercise-books, pens and some other things. 在所有的货物中有书、练习册、钢笔和其他东西.Present at the meeting were Mr Li, Mr Wang and many other teachers. 出席会议的有李老师、王老师和其他很多老师.You can't speak French. Neither can she. 你不会说法语，她也不会.Had I seen him yesterday wouldn't go to his house now. 如果我昨天见到他了，我现在就不去他家了.英语倒装句： 主语在前，谓语在后，这叫陈述语序。

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。

目的： 区分语气特别强调引起注意主语因为带有太多前置的修饰性定语或后置的定语从句、同位语从句等内容而显得超长时，为了避免半天没把主语说完而故意把主谓或主谓宾对调。

英语倒装句结构

英语句子表达的基本语序是“主语+谓语”。

但在实际应用中，因语法结构的需要，或是为了强调，常把谓语移到主语之前，称为倒装。

英语的倒装结构有两种，其中较为常见的是部分倒装，即谓语的一部分移到主语之前。

如：Only when the war was over could he begin to work again. 只有在战争结束后他才能够重新开始工作。

另一种倒装是完全倒装结构，即把谓语的全部都移到主语之前。

注：当前面陈述句有两个以上不同类型的谓语动词时，如be,do或can等等，或者既有肯定式又有否定式时，如have和hasn't等等，不能单独使用so或者neither/nor，而应换用另外的句型结构： A:So it is with…； B:It is the same with…。

英语倒装句例句十句

一般来说，倒装分为全部倒装和部分倒装。

有的倒装是因为语法需要而出现的，有的倒装则是因为结构平衡的需要而出现的。

一、全部倒装 1.以here, there, now, then开头的句子，谓语动词要放在句子的主语之前。

这种句子中的谓语动词通常是不及物动词。

如： Here comes the train! There goes the bell！ 注意：如果句子的主语是人称代词，则不能使用倒装结构。

如： Here it comes! / There it goes! 2.有些动词短语以副词out,in,up,down,away等结尾，构成不及物动词短语。

这时，为了使句子更形象，常将这些副词提前到句首。

这时，句中的谓语动词要放在句子主语的前面，构成全部倒装。

（注意，这时句子的主语也必须是名词。

如果是人称代词，也不能使用倒装结构。

）如： Up went the rocket. Up it went. 3.为了强调表示地点的介词短语，常将这个介词短语放在句首，构成全部倒装。

注意，这时句子的谓语动词通常是不及物动词。

如： In the front of the lecture hall sat the speaker. 4.表语置于句首，且主语较长或结构较复杂的句子要用全部倒装。

如： Gone are the days when we had nothing to eat. 5.so/neither/nor表示前面所说的情况也适合于后者，其倒装结构为“so/neither/nor+助动词/系动词/情态动词+主语”（so表示肯定意义，neither/nor表示否定意义）。

如： She has finished her homework,so has her brother. She hasn't gone there, neither/nor has he. 但如果so表示强调， 即强调前面所说的情况的真实性时， 其结构是“so+主语+助动词/系动词/情态动词”，这里的主语同前一个句子的主语指的是同一人或物。

如： She knows little English,so she does. 她英语懂得不多。

她的确如此。

二.部分倒装 1.用于疑问句中。

如： How did you do that? Did you see the film yesterday? 2.用于省略if的虚拟条件状语从句中。

如果我们将连词if省略，应把were, had, should提到主语前面。

如： If you had come yesterday, you would have seen him. →Had you come yesterday, you would have seen him. 3.用于as引导的让步状语从句中。

as引导的让步状语从句引起的倒装有以下几种形式： 1） 副词置于句首。

如： Much as I like it (=Although I like it very much), I will not buy it. 2） 动词原形置于句首。

如？ Wait as you may(=Although you may wait), he will not see you. 3） 形容词或名词置于句首。

如： Proud as the nobles are (=Although the nobles are proud), they are afraid to see me. Child as he is (=Although he is a child), he can tell right from wrong. 注意：如果名词前有形容词修饰时，as 引导的倒装句中要保留不定冠词。

如： A bad-tempered man as he is (=Although he is a bad-tempered man), he loves me deeply. 4.具有否定意义的副词或连词（not,hardly,no sooner, not until, seldom,not once,at no time,never,little等） 置于句首时， 句子（主句）采用部分倒装。

如： Little do we know about him. No sooner had he closed his eyes than he fell asleep. Seldom does he come back on Sundays. Not until he came back did I know about it. 5.only修饰句子的状语（从句）位于句首时，句子（主句）要用部分倒装。

如： Only then did I realize the importance of English. Only when a child grows up does he understand his parents' intentions. 但如果only修饰的是句子的其它成分，则无需倒装。

如： Only socialism can save China. (only修饰的是句子的主语，故仍用正常语序。

) 6.not only…but also… 连接两个并列分句时，第一个分句应使用部分倒装。

如： Not only does he do well in his lessons, but also he often helps others with their lessons. 7.so…that结构中的倒装。

有时要强调so所修饰的形容词或副词，常将so 连同它所修饰的形容词或副词一起提到句首。

这时，主句要用倒装结构。

如： He runs so fast that he is far ahead of others. →So fast does he run that he is far ahead of others. He is so clever that he can work out all the difficult problems in the book. →So clever is he that he can work out all the difficult problems in the book. （全部倒装） 当主语在谓语前出现时叫顺序（the natural order）。

在某些情况下，我们可以把谓语成分放在主语前面，这种词序叫做倒装（ the inverted order）。

倒装分两种：配合语法条例的倒装，叫“grammatical inversion”；配合强调语势的叫“emphatic inversion”。

语法上的倒装句是强制性的，包括下列 7 种： ⒈疑问句，如： ● Can you do it？ ● How old are you？ ● When did you know him？ ● Why did you elect him as captain？ ● Which of these apples do you prefer？ 但疑问代词做主语时，不必倒置，如： ● Who is your English teacher？ ● What happened last night？ ⒉表示“愿望”的句子，如： ● May God bless you. ● Long live the king！ ⒊“There”引导的句子，如： ● There are many cars on the road. ● There stand some big trees near the river. ● There is a security guard outside the bank. ⒋感叹句，如： ● How beautiful the flower is！ ● What a smart boy you are！ ⒌有连接词“so, neither, nor”的句子，如： ● Tom ...
