倒装
英语句子的语序一般是固定的: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。倒装有两种情况:语法倒装和修辞倒装。因为语法结构而必须倒装的,叫语法倒装;为达到某种修辞目的而倒装的,叫修辞倒装。我们学习倒装的主要目的是增加对英语句式多样性的认识,以便在写作和口语中使用,这也是我们学习英语语法的主要目的。
一、语法倒装
1.一般疑问句和特殊疑问句要倒装
例如:
Shall I open the door? 要我开门吗?
Are you cold? 你冷吗?
Can you read this poem in German? 你能用德语朗诵这首诗吗?
Which of the pictures do you like best? 你最喜欢哪张画?
How are you getting along? 你目前怎么样?
When will there be lasting peace in the world?
什么时候世界上才能有持久的和平?
2.There be 句型当中。There be 句型表达的意思是:“某处有….”。这个句型的主语在谓语动词后面,因此这是倒装语序。
例如:
There are not many people who want to read this book.
想看这本书的人不多。
There once lived a pack of wolves in this cave.
在这个洞里曾经住过一群狼。
There happened to be a taxi parked at the gate.
碰巧门口停着一辆出租车。
There is going to be a change in our arrangement.
我们的安排将有一个变化。
3.当连词as 表示“虽然、尽管”引导让步状语从句时,句子要倒装,as 相当于though,可以替换。
如:
Small as/though the atom is, we can smash it.
尽管原子很小,我们可以击碎它。
n. 安排,商议,整理,布置,商定,[音]改编,改编曲
