第十三讲语序、倒装句

一、语 序

在英语中，一般常见的语序为“主语+谓语+宾语”，此语序与汉语基本相同，但定语在句子的位置，中文和英文略有差异，下面举例说明：

1、              定语的语序

(1)当定语是单词或动词–ing 形式时，在英语中多将定语放在被修饰的前面，与汉语相同。    

例：He is a naughty boy. （形容词）

(2)当定语是短语或定语从句时，其中短语包括：介词短语，分词短语，不定式短语，放在修饰词的后面。

例： I）She had a basket (full of apples)  (短语)

II) The boy (who is sleeping) is my little brother. (定语从句)

III)The students(in the room)are from Asia.(介词短语)

（3）当定语是副词或某些过去分词时,放在所修饰词后面。

例：I) The women (here) are for you.（副词）

II) I like the books (written) by him.(过去分词)

2、              状语的语序

在句子中如果同时有时间状语和地点状语时，先地点后时间：地点状语→时间状语，这和汉语中状语的语序不同，汉语是先时间后地点。

例：Ⅰ）My mother has lunch at the factory at noon.

Ⅱ)At the airport last night two events take place.

Ⅲ)I stayed there for 3 weeks last year.

 

二、倒 装

 

Summary:主语和谓语的顺序分为两种：

自然语序：主语+谓语

倒装语序：谓语+主语

1、              部分倒装和全部倒装

我们通常使用的语序是自然语序，即主语在前，谓语在后，但有时谓语的全部或一部分提到主语的前面，即采用倒装语序。倒装的原因，或是语法结构的需要，或是为了强调。

A→部分倒装

   部分倒装是谓语中的一部分（如：助动词、情态动词或系动词be）放在主语前面，其余部分仍放在主语后面。

例：ⅰ）Only in this way can we work at the physics problem.(情态动词)

ⅱ）Never had he had any experience like that.（助动词）

ⅲ）Not only is he a singer,but also he is a dancer.（系动词）

B→全部倒装

   全部倒装是句子中没有助动词，情态动词或系动词be时，要把谓语动词放在主语的前面。

例：Here comes the bus.

Up went the arrow in to the sky.

The door opened and in came a group of soldiers.

●                 例外：这时如果主语是人称代词，则主谓不倒装。

例：Here he comes.

Here you are. 给你

Here we are.  我们到了

▲                 重点：在英语中，从形式上可分为部分倒装和全部倒装，我们为了使于理解，还可以把它分为语法性倒装。这是由于语法上的需要而必须倒装的句子，还有一种是修饰性倒装，顾名思义，这些句子如果不是特意加以强调，可以不必倒装。

2、              语法性的倒装

A→各种疑问句的倒装

例：1）Are you against the plan?

2)What do you like best?

●注意：但如果主语是由一个疑问词表示的或修饰的，语序不变。

例：1）Who did it? (疑问词who是主语，语序不变仍为主语who+谓语did)

2)How many students in your school joined the army ?

(分析：主语students由how many修饰，语序不变。)

B→there be句型中的倒装

  在此句型中，主语总是在谓语之后，无论是在陈述句中还是疑问句中。

例：1）There were no school or hospitals there before.

2)Is there any ink in the bottle?

C→直接引语中的倒装

a.                 直接引语的一部分或全部放在句首时，它的主语（说话人）和谓语（引述动词）常要倒装。

b.                 但当主语是代词或谓语动词含有助动词时，一般不倒装。

c.                 另外，如果谓语比主语长，或是它后面有宾语时，一般也不倒装。

例：1)“Will you please carry it for you”? said the old man

2)“Please do me a favour”, he said.

3)“He is a liar. You can’t trust him.” said Tom.

     4）“I am hungry”，she had said.

D→省略if的虚拟语气条件句中的倒装

  If引导的虚拟语气，条件句中如含有助动词were, should和had时，可以使用倒装。

句型：were/should/had+主语+……

      =if+主语+were/should/had……

当if省略时，助动词were, should和had要倒装到主语前去；而if不省略时，主语和助动词用正常语序。

例：1）Were you a fish, the cat would eat you.

=If you were a fish, the cat would eat you.

2)Should it rain tomorrow, I shall stay at home.

=If it should rain tomorrow, I shall stay at home.

3)Had you my troubles, you would despair.

=If you had my troubles, you would despair.

E→so，nor，neither用于句首时的倒装

当so，nor，neither用于句首,说明前面一句话中谓语表示的情况也适用于另外一个人或物时，句子要用倒装。

 

	含义	用法	倒装句型
so	也	用于肯定句	So+be(have;助动词或情态动词)+主语
nor/ neither	也不，也没有	用于否定句	Neither/nor+be（have，助动词或情态动词）+主语

例：1) A: I have had my breakfast.

       B: So have I.

2)A: Li Ming can speak three languages.

  B: So can I.

3)A: Will you go home this weekend?

  B: After that we never saw her again.

4)After that we never saw her again, nor did we hear from her.

F→as 引导的让步状语从句中的倒装

▲3．修辞性的倒装（常考内容）
