倒装(特殊语序之一)
(一)倒装的分类
英语的正常语序是“主语 + 谓语”,即主语在前,谓语在后。有时由于句子结构的需要或表示强调,就要采取倒装形式。将谓语动词完全移到主语前称为完全倒装;只将助动词、情态动词或连系动词be等谓语的一部分放到主语之前,称为部分倒装。如:
On the wall hang two pictures.
Only in this way can we solve the problem.
(二)基本句式结构
1.疑问句一般用倒装语序。如:
Can you answer the question ?
其中反意疑问句前面陈述部分不倒装,后面附加部分倒装。特殊问句中,如果疑问词在句中作主语,或作主语的定语,就不倒装。另外,有时说话者表示一种揣测,期待对方作出肯定的答复,或表示惊异、怀疑等情绪时,也不倒装。如:
How many people attended the meeting ?
You live here ?
2.感叹句一般不倒装,但有时可采用疑问句形式。如:
Isn’t it beautiful!
3.以only修饰的副词、介词短语或从句作状语位于句首时开头时,采用部分倒装。如:
Only in this way can we solve the problem.
Only when the war ended was he able to return home.
但Only不是修饰以上结构时,不用倒装。如:
Only his brother was right.
4.以副词so,
If you don’t go there today,
John is from Britain,
“Betty is a good
girl!”“Yes,
5.否定意义的副词或连词(如seldom,hardly,little,never等)放在句首时,应采用部分倒装。如:
Never will I forget the day when I did such a foolish thing.
Hardly had he finished the work when it began to rain.
6.几个否定词前的特殊句型
1)not only…but also…句型中前一个分句部分倒装,后一个分句不倒装。如:
Not only does he have to type out the
answer on a computer,
2)Not until…句型中前面的从句不倒装,后面的主句应采用部分倒装。如:
Not until I came back did he leave for work.
Not until quite recently did I have any idea what it was like.
3)No sooner…than…句型中后面的从句不倒装,前面主句应被用部分倒装。如:
No sooner had Black got home than the phone rang.
4)Neither…nor…句型中的句子均需部分倒装。如:
Neither did I know this nor did I want to.
7.So + 形容词/副词……that……句型中如果“so + 形容词/副词”提到句首,则主句需部分倒装,从句不倒装。如:
So interested was he in the program that he didn’t notice his mother come in.
8.省略if的倒装句型。如果虚拟语气的条件状语从句中谓语有连系动词were,助动词had或情态动词should等,可省去if,把were,had或should移到主语之前。如:
Were I not engaged in my present
work,
Had they not been working so
hard,
Should anyone call,
9. 当often,nowhere,at no time,not once,many a time等词位于句首时,常用部分倒装。如:
Not once have I heard of this.
Many a time has he given us good advice.
10.某些表示祝愿的句子用部分倒装。如:
May you succeed!
11.以as引导的让步状语从句,其表语应提到句首,其余部分不变。如果从句的表语是个名词时,要把名词前的冠词去掉。
though引导的让步状语从句也可以用这种形式,但也可以用正常结构。如:
Child as/though he is,
12.当句首状语是表示方位或声色的词,谓语动词是come,go等表示位置移动的动态动词,同时主语又是较长的名词词组时,常用完全倒装结构。这些词是here,there,out,in,down,away,up,ahead等。
如果主语是代词就不倒装。如:
There comes the bus.
Out rushed the children.
Away flew the plane.
Bang!Bang!Bang!Came three reports of fire-crackers.
Here we are.
13.当句首为表示的地点的介词词组时,也常引起完全倒装。如:
In this chapter will be found the answers to those questions.
South of the river lies a small factory.
14.部分引述动词置于句首引起倒装。如:
“I have been very busy these days. ”said Howard.
省略(见语法小本)
(一)并列句中的省略
在并列句中,第二分句(或第三、第四分句)往往可以省略与前句相同的成分。如:
Some books are to be tasted, others (are) to be swallowed, and some few (are) to be chewed and digested.
(二)简单句中的省略
1.省略主语
1)祈使句中的主语通常被省略。如:
(You) Be seated, please.
2)其他省略主语多限于少数现成的说法。如:
(I)Thank you for your help. (谢谢你的帮助。)
(It)Doesn’t matter. (没关系。)
2.省略主谓语或主谓语的一部分。如:
(There is) No smoking. (禁止吸烟。)
(Is there) Anything else ?(还有其他事吗?)
(You come) This way,
(Will you)Have a smoke ?(吸支烟?)
What (do you) think about a cup of tea ?(来一杯怎么样?)
Why(do you)not say hello to him ?(为什么不和他说声再见呢?)
3.省略宾语。如:
—Do you know Miss Gao ?(你认识高小姐吗?)
—I don’t know(her). (我不认识。)
—Which of them is the better choice ?(他们中谁是更合适的人选?)
—Well,
4.省略表语。如:
—Are you thirsty ?(你渴吗?)
—Yes,
5.同时省略几个成分。如:
—Are you feeling better now ?(你觉得好些吗?)
—(I am feeling)Much better(now). (好多了。)
—Have you finished your work ?(你完成工作了吗?)
—(I have)Not(finished my work)yet. (还没有。)
(I wish)Good luck(to you)!(祝你顺利!)
6.其他一些省略结构
1)名词所有格所修饰的名词,若表示住宅、店铺、教堂或上文已暗示或明确指出过的事物时,常常可以省略。如:
We spent the weekend at the Blacks’.
2)what和how引导的感叹句中,常可省略主语it和be动词。如:
What a wonderful victory(it is)for Wilma!
How wonderful(it was)to be treated like a normal child, even when I was bad.
3)不定式省略,单独使用不定式符号to。
①代替动词不定式后被省略的动词,常在be afraid,expect,forget,hope,intend,like,love,mean,prefer,refuse,seem,try,wand,wish等后边。如:
I asked him to see the
film,
②在have,need,ought,be going,,used等后。如:
I didn’t want to go there, but I had to.
③在某些形容词glad,happy,pleased,delighted等后,如:
—Will you join in the game ?
—I’d be glad to.
④否定形式的省略用not to。如:
—Shall I go instead of him ?
—I prefer not to.
⑤如果不定式中含有be,have,have been,通常保留be,have和have been。如:
—Are you a sailor ?
—No,
—He hasn’t finished yet.
—Well,
(三)复合句中的省略
1.定语从句中作宾语的关系代词that,which,whom常可以省略;当先行词是time,reason,place时作状语的关系副词when,why,where也可以省去。如:
This is the first time(when)he had trouble with the boss.
2.当wh-疑问词引导宾语从句且后边的内容与前边重复时,可以把重复的内容省去,而保留wh-疑问词。如:
Tom was sad,
3.状语从句中的省略现象
一般来说,省略现象多出现于下列五种状语从句中:
由when,while,as,before,after,till,until,once等引导的时间状语从句;由if,unless,whether等引导的条件状语从句;由though,although,even if,whatever等引导的让步状语从句,由as,than引导的让步状语从句;由as,as if,as though 方式状语从句。
上述状语从句在省略时,并不是任何成分都可以省略,而是遵循一定的原则:
1)当状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致时,可以省略状语从句的主语和系动词be,这时从句中可出现如下结构:
①连词(as,
Once(he was)a teacher,
②连词(though,whether,when) + 形容词
Work hard when(you are)young,
③连词(whether,
He looked everywhere as if(he was)in search of something.
④连词(when,while,though) + 现在分词
While(I was)walking along the street, I heard my name called.
⑤连词(when,if,even if,unless,once,until,than,as) + 过去分词
The exhibition is more interesting than(it was)expected.
⑥连词(as if,as though) + 不定式
He opened his lips as if(he were)to speak.
注意:当从句的主语和主句的宾语一致时,间或也有这样的省略:
Her father told her to be careful when(she was)crossing the street.
另:悬垂结构见语法小本现在分词作状语部分。
2)当从句中的主语是it,谓语动词中又含有系统动词be时,可以把it和系动词be一起省略。此时构成连词(if,unless,when,whenever) + 形容词的结构。如:
Unless(it is)necessary,
另外,我们还可以用so或not代替上文内容,此时可有if + so/not省略句式。
Get up early tomorrow. If not(you don’t get up early),you will miss the first bus.
He may not be at home
then,
替代
(一)so和not作替代词,代替被省略的某个词、词组或句子,一般同表示个人看法或想法的动词连用,作be afraid,believe,become,all,do,expect,fear,hope,imagine,say,see,speak,suppose,think等的宾语。Not代替否定的句子,还可放在perhaps,probably,absolutely等副词后。如:
She was not angry at
first,
—Is he the best student in the class ?
—I think so(=He is best student in the class. )
—I think not(=He is not the best student in the class).
(二)替代的应用
1.So可以放在句首或句尾,但若谓语动词是see,
I believe(say,
—He is absent today.
—So I see(hear,
2.在表示肯定或怀疑意义的句中不可用so。如:
误:I doubt so.
正:I doubt it.
3.在ask和know之后也不用so。如:
误:Why do you ask so ?
正:Why do you ask that ?
4.do so一般只用替代动态动词,不替代静态动词。如:
She said she would go with me, but she didn’t do so.
—Alice feels better today.
—I think she does.
—So she does.
但不可说:I think she does so.
