英語語法之倒裝句
部分倒裝是指將謂語的一部分如助動詞或情態(tài)倒裝至主語之前。如果句子的`謂語沒有助動詞或情態(tài)動詞,則需添加助動詞do, does或did,并將其置于主語之前。
1) 句首為否定或半否定的詞語,如no, not, never, seldom, little, hardly, at no time, in no way, not until 等。例如:
Never have I seen such a performance. 從未見過如此糟糕的表演。
Nowhere will you find the answer to this question. 無論如何你不會找到這個問題的答案的。
Not until the child fell asleep did the mother leave the room. 母親一直到孩子入睡后離開房間。
當Not until引出主從復合句,主句倒裝,從句不倒裝。注意: 如否定詞不在句首不倒裝。例如:
I have never seen such a performance.
The mother didnt leave the room until the child fell asleep.
典型例題
1) Why cant I smoke here?
At no time___ in the meeting-room
A. is smoking permitted B. smoking is permitted
C. smoking is it permitted D. does smoking permit
答案A. 這是一個倒裝問題。當否定詞語置于句首以表示強調(diào)時,其句中的主謂須用倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)。這些否定詞包括no, little, hardly, seldom, never, not only, not until等。本題的正常語序是 Smoking is permitted in the meeting-room at no time.
