英语四级语法：倒装句的几种形式

　　今天查字典语文小编主要给大家讲解的是英语四级语法：倒装句的几种形式，希望对同学们的英语学习有所帮助。

　　英语四级语法：倒装句的几种形式

　　英语句子结构中有两种语序：一种是自然语序(Natural Word-order)，与汉语是一致的，即"主语+谓语"，另外一种是倒装语序(Inverted Word-order)，即把谓语动词的全部或一部分置于主语之前，或把宾语、表语置于主语之前。倒装句(Inversion)有两种情况：一种是普通的倒装句---疑问句，这种倒装句是由把助动词或动词的一部分置于主语之前构成;另一种是特殊的倒装句，这种倒装句比较复杂，有一定的词语和句型的要求，即某些含有否定意义的词语或词组放在句首，表示强调，句子要求用倒装结构。特殊的倒装句有两种形式：一种是将助动词或情态动词置于主语之前，没有助动词则需要加do，does或 did，这种倒装句称为"不完全倒装"或"部分倒装"(Partial Inversion);另一种是将整个谓语部分放在主语之前，不用助动词，这种倒装句称为"完全倒装"(Full Inversion)。

　　倒装句是英语语法中的重点，也是英语学习中的难点。在各类英语考试中，都会出现特殊的倒装结构这类语法项目，因此需要逐一学习、记忆并掌握它们的要求和用法。下面就这种特殊的倒装结构这一语法项目常见的情况例释如下，以引起参加各种英语考试的同学的重视：

　　四、让步状语从句、方式状语从句和比较状语从句中的倒装

　　1、在某些让步状语从句中，通常要求用倒装句，由as引起的情况较多;由as引出的让步状语从句主要有以下三种句型结构：

　　句型一：adj./V-ed分词/n.+as+S +be +main clause。例如：

　　_______ as it was at such a time，his work attracted much attention.

　　A)Being published

　　B)Published

　　C)Publishing

　　D)To be published(CET-4，1996.1-26，选B)

　　句型二：adv.+as+S+v.+main clause。例如：

　　_______ ，he does get annoyed with her sometimes.

　　A)Although much he likes her

　　B)Much although he likes her

　　C)As he likes her much

　　D)Much as he likes her (CET-4，2000.6-49，选D)

　　句型三：v.+as+S+mod.v./aux.v. +main clause。例如：

　　Ask as we would，he pretended to know nothing about it.

　　Object as you may，we'll go on our jour- ney as planned.

　　2、在比较状语从句中，如果主语不是人称代词，常常可以在主语前添加助动词do(be)代替前面出现过的动词。这时，比较对象放在这个do(be)后面，形成一种部分倒装的形式;在the more引导的比较状语从句中，其所修饰的名词应随之移至主谓语之前，而形成部分倒装。例如：

　　1)He always spends more time on that useless matter than do the others.

　　2)The living standard of the people is higher than was the case ten years ago.

　　3)Many people take it for granted that the more children one has，the more secure one's late years will be.

　　3、在由no matter how，however和how引导的方式状语从句中，其后的形容词、副词应随其移至主谓语之前，而形成部分倒装。例如：

　　1)However hard he tried，he still failed in the entrance exam.

　　2)No matter how badly they had slept she was always up early.

　　五、在由"so+adv./adj.+ that"和"such that"引出的结果状语从句中，要求用倒装句。例如：

　　1)So far does light travel that it is difficult for us to imagine its speed.

　　2)So suddenly was the attack that we had no time to escape.

　　3)So loudly did he speak that even people in the next room could hear him.

　　六、为了强调或突出句子的某一部分，往往可以用倒装结构。例如：

　　1)A very capable young man he is.

　　2)Very grateful we are for your help.

　　3)Housed in the Cultural Palace are a library，an auditorium and recreation rooms.

　　4)Standing beside the table was an interpreter.

　　七、在感叹的句子中，往往要求用倒装句。当一个句子包含一个带补语的复合谓语，而补语又被what或how修饰时，要求用倒装结构。例如：

　　1)What a great project it is!

　　2)How beautiful these hills look with the clouds behind them !

　　前四类倒装结构是大学英语四级考试的重点，不仅在词汇与结构题中会出现，在阅读理解题中、完形填空题(或改错题)中、简短回答题中，甚至在翻译题中都可能出现，而且历年的考试都有所涉及，掌握好倒装结构，对于理解英语句子的结构及其含义是十分重要的，希望考生在学习和复习有关内容时应该特别加以注意，以免"大意失荆州"。
