要正確翻譯這個(gè)句子并不是件容易的事,但并不影響解題:
首先,這是個(gè)“not”開(kāi)頭的句子,需要倒裝;
第二,在A、A、C、D四個(gè)答案中,B是不倒裝的,肯定不對(duì);
第三,盡管A、C、D都是倒裝形式,但由于是“not since”,要用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí),故正確答案是C.
從以上例子可以看出,就語(yǔ)法考試而言,牢記基本規(guī)則,把握正確解題思路有時(shí)比多認(rèn)識(shí)幾個(gè)英語(yǔ)單詞更重要。
其他需注意的倒裝現(xiàn)象:
4) here, there, back, down, off, in, up等表示地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)的詞開(kāi)頭的句子,例如:
Here comes a taxi! (來(lái)了輛出租車!)
There goes the last bus?。┌喙财囬_(kāi)走了?。?BR> Down came the rain.(下雨了。)
但是:主語(yǔ)是代詞時(shí)不倒裝,例如:
Here it comes. (它來(lái)了。)
There she goes.(她走了。)
5) 主語(yǔ) + live, stand, lie, sit 等動(dòng)詞 + (介詞)地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ) 的結(jié)構(gòu)中常采用倒裝語(yǔ)序,例如:
正常語(yǔ)序:An old temple stands at the top of the hill.
倒裝語(yǔ)序:At the top of the hill stands an old temple. (山頂上有座古廟。)
同樣,如果主語(yǔ)是代詞,也不能倒裝,例如:
(The old temple was built 800 hundred years ago. ) It stands at the top of the hill.
6) although 讓步從句用as或 though代替時(shí),例如:
正常語(yǔ)序:Although he is young, he is quite expert in computer technology.
倒裝語(yǔ)序:Young as he is, he is quite expert in computer technology.
(盡管他很年輕,但是他對(duì)計(jì)算機(jī)技術(shù)相當(dāng)專業(yè)。)
4)、5)、6)類倒裝只是簡(jiǎn)單的語(yǔ)序調(diào)整。
2. 省略:
1)省略是為了避免重復(fù),保持語(yǔ)言簡(jiǎn)潔的一種語(yǔ)法手段。尤其是在口語(yǔ)中,省略是個(gè)普遍現(xiàn)象,例如:
I have heard of the news. So have I.
He didn‘t go to the concert yesterday. Neither did I.
想一下,為什么以上句子的應(yīng)答部分要采用“倒裝”形式?(見(jiàn)上一節(jié)“倒裝”)
此外,此類省略形式的要注意的一個(gè)問(wèn)題是:前后時(shí)態(tài)要一致。
2)就職稱考試而言,大家要特別注意由when, while, whether, if, unless, although等引出的狀語(yǔ)從句中的省略現(xiàn)象,比較:
不省略:The young boy was badly injured by a motorcycle when he was crossing the street.
省略:The young boy was badly injured by a motorcycle when crossing the street.
(那個(gè)小男孩在穿越馬路時(shí)被一輛摩托車嚴(yán)重撞傷。)
