(三)倒装结构 1.倒装句的种类 倒装语序有两类:全部倒装和部分倒装。全部倒装指谓语部分全部提到主语之前,部分倒装指谓语的一部分提到主语之前。全部倒装语序常出现在下列情况中: (1)为避免句子部分内容重复,英语中常用倒装句,即:so(neither,nor)+ be动词(助动词,情态动词)+ 主语。 例1:just as the soil is a part of the earth, _____ the atmosphere.(1995) [a] as it is[b] the same is[c] so is[d] and so is 答案为[c]。just as ... so为固定搭配,意为“正如…一样,也…”。so后面的句子要求完全倒装。 例2:they have all got up, and _____. (1985) [a] jack has too[b] so has jack[c] jack hasn’t[d] also has jack 答案为[b]。如表示赞同别人的陈述,so后面的部分不倒装,如:tom is a good student. so he is,and so is dick.前半句so he is表示后者赞同前者的观点,认为tom是个好学生,后半句and so is dick中so后面部分倒装,表示dick也是个好学生。 (2)当there,here,then,now等副词置于句首,且谓语动词为come,go,be等词时,句子一般全部倒装。此类倒装句旨在引起别人注意,如果主语是代词,则句子不倒装。例如: look! here comes the bus. look! here he comes. (3)当out,in,away,up,into,bang等方位词和拟声词置于句首时,句子一般全部倒装。此类倒装句比正常语序的句子更生动、形象。但若主语是代词,则句子不倒装。例如: away flew the bird. out she went. into this category fall many of the lies told within the walls of government. (4)省略whether的让步状语从句,常用be +主语+其他。例如: the business of each day, selling goods or shipping them, _____ went quite smoothly. (1992) [a] it being[b] be it[c] was it[d] it was 答案为[b]。 2.部分倒装的构成条件 (1)具有否定意义的词或短语置于句首时,句子一般要部分倒装,即将系动词、助动词或情态动词提到主语前。这类词或短语包括:not,never,seldom,hardly,rarely,scarcely,by no means,under no circumstance,in no way,at no time,no sooner ... than,hardly...when,not only ... but also...,in no sense,on no account,at no point,little,nowhere,barely,scarcely ... when/before,not until,in vain,still less等。例如: _____ to speak when the audience interrupted him. (1991) [a] hardly had he begun[b] no sooner had he begun[c] not until he began[d] scarcely did he begin 答案为[a]。hardly ... when为固定搭配,hardly置于句首,要求部分倒装。scarcely ... when也是固定搭配,但[d] 的时态不正确。 (2)as引导的让步状语从句常用倒装。一般将一些形容词、副词等置于句首。例如: outstanding as she is in her field, she remains easygoing. (3)当so,often,only等表示程度或频率的副词置于句首时,句子一般部分倒装。例如: so involved with their computers _____ that leaders at summer computer camps often have to force them to break for sports and games. (2001) [a] BECame the children[b] become the children[c] had the children become[d] do the children become 答案为[d]。由于so involved位于句首,句子采用倒装形式。因为句子的时态是一般现在时,所以要借助于助动词do来构成倒装。把这句话改成正常语序是:the children become so involved with their computers that leaders at summer computer camps often have to force them to break for sports and games. (孩子们对他们的电脑如此着迷,以至于电脑夏令营的领导不得不经常强迫他们停下来,做些体育运动和游戏。) (4)省略if的非真实条件从句中,助动词、情态动词要提前。例如: _____ for the timely investment from the general public, our company would not be so thriving as it is. (1998) [a] had it not been[b] were it not[c] be it not[d] should it not 答案为[a]。if 省略,助动词提前,从句表达与过去事实相反的虚拟情况。 (四)平行结构 由not only ... but also,would rather... than...,would sooner... than...,more... than...,rather than(而不是),and,or连接的成分要求在语法形式上保持平行一致。例如: 例1:it is better to die on one’s feet than _____. (1991) [a] living on ones knees[b] live on ones knees[c] on one’s knees[d] to live on one’s knees 答案为[d]。to die on one’s feet与to live on one’s knees在语法形式上保持一致。 例2:we are taught that a business letter should be written in a formal style _____ in a personal style. (1995) [a] rather than[b] other than[c] better than[d] less than 答案为[a]。根据句意及in a formal style与in a personal style成分一致的线索,可断定本句是想表达“应该…,而不应该…”,故只有[a] 正确。other than表示“除了…”,常用于否定句。句意:商务书信必须用正式文体而不是个人文体来写。 |
