倒装 注意:
像一般疑问句一样,将情态动词、助动词或be放在主语的前面,这种现象叫部分倒装。将谓语(通常是一个一般现在时或一般过去时的不及物动词come, go, run, be等)放在主语前面,叫完全倒装,完全倒装句中的主语一定是名词。
熟读深思
Busy as she was[1], Lucy went to bed early. But little did she eat[2]this evening. So hungry was she[3]that she kept tossing and turning in bed. Not only did she find[4]it hard to fall asleep, but also she felt her stomach hurt. Suddenly she came up with an idea. “Were I full [5], I would have a good sleep easily.” Then she got up and went to the kitchen. There was[6] a cabbage, some hams and some eggs in the fridge.
No sooner had she taken[7]out what she needed than she realized she had no idea how to deal with the food. In fact, seldom had she cooked[8] for herself before. “Had I learned[9]cooking from my mother, I would have become a good cook.” She sighed and continued her job. However, hardly had she tried[10] to turn on one of the two taps above the sink when she noticed it didn’t work. Neither could another tap[11].
Only with the help of the spanner did water come[12] out of the tap at last. But it was unlucky for her to cut her finger while cutting hams. Out ran Lucy[13]at once. With a bandage wrapping her wounded finger, she finished cooking a delicious meal at last. From the kitchen came a good smell.[14] Being at table, she got down to enjoying her food. Unfortunately, not until she tasted her food did she find[15] she forgot to add some salt to it. “Must I fall asleep[16] while being hungry?” said Lucy.
汉语译文:露西虽然很忙,但她很早就去睡觉了。可是晚饭时她吃得很少,这会儿她感到饿了,在床上翻来覆去。她不仅没法入睡,还觉得肚子开始疼了。突然她想到了一个主意:“要是我饱了,我就能睡好了。”于是她起床去厨房。冰箱里有鸡蛋、火腿还有一个卷白菜。她把材料拿出来后就发现不知道怎么处理这些食物。事实上,她很少自己下厨。“要是我以前就跟着妈妈学习烹饪,那么现在我就是个好厨子了。”她叹了口气,继续手头的工作。
但是,当她一打开洗手盆上面的其中一个水龙头时,才发现水龙头坏了。另外一个也不能用了。最后还是在扳手的帮助下,水龙头才正常的。可她在切火腿时又把手指给切伤了!真倒霉啊!她冲了出去。用绷带把手指包扎好后,她终于把饭给做好了。一股香味从厨房飘出。坐在桌子前面,她开始享受自己的成果。可是,糟糕的是,直到尝了一口后,她才发现忘记放盐了。露西自问,“难道我非要饿着肚子睡觉吗?”
倒装与高考
1.在语法填空中可能要求考生填入适当的助动词。在高考写作中恰当运用倒装句,特别是由“only+状语” 开头的倒装句,会给阅卷者留下良好的印象。
2.在短文改错中,可能出现助动词的错用;漏掉构成部分倒装的助动词do, does或did;或者有了助动词does或did之后,谓语动词没有用原形;或者倒装句的主谓一致错误。 1. We don’t know its value until we lose health.
______________________ we know its value.
2. I will never forget you as long as I live.
__________I forget you as long as I live. Never will
Not until we lose health do

灰姑娘每天都要做很多家务, 而继母和她的女儿则整日欺负灰姑娘。王子举行选妃舞会, 灰姑娘在仙女的帮助下, 漂漂亮亮地参加了舞会, 并最终成为了王妃。 1. was 因There be句型为完全倒装,主语为a girl。 2. did 因not…only but (also) 连接两个并列分句,not only放句首,其后分句需要部分倒装;从前后语境看,get该用一般过去时,而get是原形,故前面应加助动词did。 3. only 从could Cinderella get这一部分倒装可以推断,前面是“Only+状语(介词短语)”。 4. gain 因seldom否定词放句首时,句子需要部分倒装,有情态动词could提到主语前面,故gain用动词原形。 5. until 是Not until 引导的状语从句。 6. as as, though引导让步从句,其表语poor提前了。 7. an 作地点状语的介词短语from the palace提前,句子用完全倒装,invitation (请柬)做主语,前面用不定冠词。 8. been 因否定词放句首时,句子需要部分倒装;这是过去完成时的被动语态,故填been。
9. Were 此处的Were I =If I were 表示与现在事实相反的假设。 10. than 因no sooner than 是固定句式 11. so 因so…that 是固定句式。 12. when 因hardly…when 是固定句式。 13. Neither 灰姑娘的一个姐姐不适合, 另一个姐姐也不适合,用neither表示前面所述一件事也不适合另一个人或物时。 四、单句改错
1. At noon there were still no news.
were→ was
主语是no news,单数。
2. Here is some picture-books for you.
is→ are
主语是some picture-books,
复数。 3. If you don’t go there tomorrow, neither does Tom.
does→ will
主句用一般将来时。
4. I didn’t see the film, and nor didn’t you. didn’t→ did
因neither, nor本身就是否定的了,其后的助动词用肯定形式。 5. I can’t swim and so can Kate. so→ neither
表示后者的情况同前者一样,前者是否定情况,后者用neither或nor。
6. He was unable to make much progress, hard although he tried. although→ as /though
因although引导让步状语从句时,不能用倒装。 7. Little does he realizes how important this meeting is. realizes→ realize
前面已有助动词did了,要用原形。
8. So loudly he speak that even people in the next room could hear him. 在he前加did
因so+ adj.位于句首时,主句用部分倒装。
