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

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。 -
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…。 -
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。
