二、部分倒裝
1.否定詞或具有(半)否定意義的詞語置于句首作為句首狀語時,一般必須采用部分倒裝語序。
具有否定或半否定意義的詞和詞組有:no, never, seldom, little, few, rarely, hardly, never before, nowhere, no longer, no more, not until, not only, at no time(決不), in no way(決不), in/under no circumstances(決不), in no case(決不), on no account(決不), hardly…when, scarcely…when/before, no sooner……than, not only…but(also)等。如:
Never before have I seen such a wonderful(奇妙的) park.我從來未看見過這樣美麗的公園。
Comp: I have never seen such a wonderful park before.
No sooner had I gone out than it rained.我剛出去,就下雨了。
Comp: I had no sooner (一但...立即)gone out than it rained.
Seldom have I met him recently(最近). 最近我很少遇見他。
Comp: I have seldom met him recently.
Under no circumstances will we be the first to use nuclear weapons(核武器).無論在什么情況下我們都不會首先使用核武器。
Comp: We will not be the first to use weapons under any circumstances.
Not only did he refuse(拒絕) the gift, he also severely(嚴厲地) criticized (批評)the young sender.他不僅拒絕收禮,而且嚴厲地批評了年輕的送禮者。
Comp: He not only refused the gift, he (but) also severely criticized the young sender.
2.當置于句首的賓語是nothing, no one, nobody等否定詞,或被not a修飾時,句子要部分倒裝。如:
Nothing would the poor child reply(回答).那個可憐的孩子什么也不回答。
Comp: The poor child would reply nothing.
Not a single word did Tom speak.湯姆一句話也不說。
Comp: Tom did not speak a single word.
3.“only + 副詞、介詞短語、狀語從句”位于句首,即當句首狀語由only修飾時,需要采用部分倒裝。如:
Only in Beijing have I seen so beautiful scenery(景色).只有在北京我才見過這樣美麗的景色。
Comp: I have seen so beautiful scenery only in Beijing.
Only if/when he is seriously ill does he stay in bed.只有病得很重時,他才會躺在床上。
Comp: He stays in bed only when he is seriously ill.
4.“so……that”結構中的“so+狀語”位于句首表示強調時,需要部分倒裝。如:
So loudly did he speak that even people in the next room could hear him.他說話聲大的隔壁的人都能聽得見。
Comp: He spoke so loudly that even people in the next room could hear him.
5.由so(neither, nor)指代前面一句的內容表示“也是(也不)”的意義時,通常位于句首,并引起倒裝, 如:
Tom can’t speak French. Nor(Neither) can Jack.湯姆不會講法語,杰克也不會講。
He has finished his work, and so have I.他已經(jīng)完成了工作,我也是。
注意:當so 引出的句子是對上文的內容加以證實或肯定時,不用倒裝。例:
“Bill will win the prize.”—so(是的)he will.
6.用于were, had或should等詞開頭的虛擬條件句(即省略了if的虛擬條件句中),也引起部分倒裝,但如從句中沒有were, had或should,則不能這樣做。如:
Should he come, tell him to ring me up。他要是來了,讓他給我打個電話。
Comp: If he should come,...
Were I in your position, I would go. 如果我處于你的位置上,我就去。
Comp: If I were in your position, ...
Had they not helped us, our experiment(實驗) would have failed(失敗).如果沒有他們的幫助,我們的實驗是會失敗的。
Comp: If they had not helped us, ...
7.以no matter how或however引導的讓步狀語從句,會出現(xiàn)倒裝的情況,如:
No matter how busy he is, he has to attend (出席)the meeting,無論多忙,他都得去參加會議。
However cold it is, he always goes swimming(去游泳).無論多冷他總是去游泳。
當對as等引導的分句中的形容詞、分詞、副詞強調時,一般采取以下倒裝結構:形容詞/分詞/副詞/+as/ +主語+謂語
Strong as he is, he cannot lift(舉起) the big stone.盡管他很強壯,他仍然舉不起這塊大石頭。
1.否定詞或具有(半)否定意義的詞語置于句首作為句首狀語時,一般必須采用部分倒裝語序。
具有否定或半否定意義的詞和詞組有:no, never, seldom, little, few, rarely, hardly, never before, nowhere, no longer, no more, not until, not only, at no time(決不), in no way(決不), in/under no circumstances(決不), in no case(決不), on no account(決不), hardly…when, scarcely…when/before, no sooner……than, not only…but(also)等。如:

Comp: I have never seen such a wonderful park before.
No sooner had I gone out than it rained.我剛出去,就下雨了。
