倒装 (Inversion)

定义

将句子的正常语序(主语 + 谓语)颠倒为(谓语/助动词 + 主语)的结构。

类型

完全倒装 (Full Inversion)

整个谓语移到主语之前。

部分倒装 (Partial Inversion)

只将助动词/情态动词/be动词移到主语之前,主要动词位置不变。


一、完全倒装

1. 方位副词/介词短语置于句首

结构:方位词 + 谓语 + 主语(必须是名词)

例句

  • Here comes the bus.
  • There goes the bell.
  • In came the teacher.
  • On the wall hangs a picture.

注意:主语是代词时不倒装:Here you are.

2. 表语置于句首(强调表语)

结构:表语 + be + 主语

例句

  • Gone are the days when we were young.
  • Present at the meeting were Professor Smith and his wife.

3. such/though 引起的倒装

例句

  • Such was his anger that he couldn’t speak.

二、部分倒装(重点)

1. 否定词/半否定词置于句首

否定词:never, seldom, rarely, hardly, scarcely, barely, little, few, not, no, neither, nor, not until, not only…but also, hardly…when, no sooner…than

例句

  • Never have I seen such a beautiful sight.
  • Hardly had he arrived when it began to rain.
  • Not only did he speak correctly, but he spoke easily.
  • Not until yesterday did I know the truth.

2. only 修饰状语置于句首

例句

  • Only then did he realize his mistake.
  • Only by working hard can you succeed.
  • Only when he returned did we find out the truth.

注意:only 修饰主语时不倒装:Only he knows the answer.

3. so…that / such…that 中的 so/such 置于句首

例句

  • So fast does he run that I can’t catch up.
  • Such was his strength that he could lift the box.

4. 虚拟条件句省略 if

结构:Were/Had/Should + 主语 + …

例句

  • Were I you (= If I were you), I would go.
  • Had I known (= If I had known), I would have told you.
  • Should it rain (= If it should rain), we would cancel.

5. as/though 引导让步状语从句

结构:表语/状语/动词 + as/though + 主语 + 谓语

例句

  • Child as/though he is, he knows a lot.
  • Hard as/though he tried, he failed.
  • Try as/though he might, he couldn’t solve it.

6. so/neither/nor 表示”也/也不”

例句

  • He likes music, so do I.
  • He doesn’t smoke, neither/nor does his brother.

7. not only…but also 连接并列句

例句

  • Not only is he clever, but he is also diligent.

在课文中的应用

L95 纯属虚构

  • 隐含虚拟条件句倒装结构

L88 困在矿井里

  • 虚拟条件句结构,可使用倒装

四级考点

  1. 否定词开头的倒装:记住常用否定词
  2. only + 状语开头的倒装
  3. so/such 开头的倒装
  4. 虚拟条件句省略 if 的倒装:Had/Were/Should
  5. 让步状语从句的倒装:Child as he is
  6. so/neither/nor 的倒装

易混淆点

倒装 vs 正常语序

倒装正常语序
Never have I seen…I have never seen…
Only then did he…He only realized then…
So fast does he run…He runs so fast that…

完全倒装 vs 部分倒装

完全倒装部分倒装
Here comes the bus.Never have I seen…
整个谓语前移只有助动词前移

答案与解析

  1. 答案:Never had she seen such a magnificent building before.
    解析:本题为部分倒装否定词 Never 置于句首时,句子需要部分倒装,将助动词 had 提到主语 she 之前。结构为:否定词 + 助动词 + 主语 + 谓语动词。

  2. 答案:Had I followed your advice, I would not have made such a mistake.
    解析:本题为虚拟条件句省略 if 的部分倒装。当虚拟条件句中含有 had 时,可省略 if,将 had 提前构成倒装。这是对过去情况的虚拟,结构为:Had + 主语 + 过去分词…。

  3. 答案:(1) A (2) A (3) C
    解析

    • 第(1)题:选 A。Had I known… 是 If I had known… 的倒装形式,表示对过去情况的虚拟。省略 if 后,将助动词 had 提前构成部分倒装。
    • 第(2)题:选 A。Not until 位于句首时,主句需要部分倒装,将助动词 did 提到主语 I 之前。注意区分:从句不倒装,主句才倒装。
    • 第(3)题:选 C。So/Neither/Nor + 助动词 + 主语 表示”也/也不”。前句是否定句 (don’t like),所以用 Neither/Nor 开头,且需部分倒装,将助动词 do 提到主语 I 之前。
