倒装是将语句中的
主语、
谓语、
宾语、
状语等颠倒顺序的一种语法现象,常常具有强调
语气,在古汉语
文言文和英语语句中比较常见。
文言倒装
主谓倒装
有时候为了强调
谓语,会把它放在主语的前面。这仅仅是语言表达的需要。
如,“甚矣,汝之不惠!”(《愚公移山》)另外,还有定语置于中心词之后,修饰名词的量词放在名词之后等特殊现象,因不常用,因此按下不表。
1、嘻!晏子之家若是其贫也! (《晏子春秋·晏子辞千金》)
宾语前置
这类
宾语前置,要具备两个条件:一是宾语必须是代词;二是必须是
否定句,由“不”、“未”、“毋”、“莫”等
否定词表示。在这种情况下,代词宾语要放在
动词之前和否定词之后。
例如:《
硕鼠》:“三岁贯汝,莫我肯顾。”“莫我肯顾”应理解成“莫肯顾我”。
文言文中用
疑问代词“谁”、“何”、“奚”、“安”等做宾语时往往放在动词的前面。
例如:《鸿门宴》:“良问曰:‘大王来何操?’”“何操”应理解为“操何”。
在现代汉语中,介词后面跟着
宾语,组成介宾结构,用来修饰
动词谓语。在文言文中,介词宾语往往置与介词之前,形成一种倒置的现象。
例如:《
岳阳楼记》:“噫!微斯人,
吾谁与归?”“谁与归”就是“与谁归”。
在一般性的宾语前置中,大家要注意语感。
文言文中,动词或
介词的宾语,一般置于动词或介词之后,但在一定条件下,宾语会前置,其条件是:
第一、
疑问句中,
疑问代词作宾语,宾语前置。这类句子,介词的宾语也是前置的。
如:“沛公安在?”(《史记.项羽本记》)
这种类型的句子关键是作宾语的疑问代词(像:谁、何、奚、曷、胡、恶、安、焉等)。值得注意的是,介词“以”的
宾语比较活跃,即使不是疑问代词,也可以前置。如:“余是以记之,以俟观
人风者得焉。”(柳宗元《捕蛇者说》)其中的“是”是一般代词,但也前置了。
这类句子有两点要注意,一是否定句(一般句中必须有“不”、“未”“毋”、“无”、“莫”等
否定词);二是代词作宾语。如:“时人莫之许也。”(陈寿《三国志.诸葛亮传》)正常
语序应该是“时人莫许之也。”
第三、用“之”或“是”把宾语提前取
动词前,以突出强调宾语。
这时的“之”只是
宾语前置的标志,没有什么实在意义。如:“句读之不知,惑之不解。”(
韩愈《师说》)有时,还可以在前置的
宾语前加上一个范围
副词“唯”,构成“唯…….....是…….....”的格式。如:“
唯利是图”、“
唯命是从”等。
第四、
介词宾语前置的情况除了第一种情况外,还有一种情况,就是
方位词、
时间词作宾语时,有时也前置;例如:“
业文南向坐。”(《史记.项羽本记》)意思是“业文面向南坐。”
宾语前置相当多见,有几种情况。一是
否定句中
代词作宾语,宾语提前。
古之人不余欺也。(不欺余) (苏轼《
石钟山记》)。
天大寒,砚冰坚,手指不可屈伸,弗之怠。(弗怠之)(
宋濂《
送东阳马生序》)
一是
疑问句中代词作
动词或
介词的
宾语,宾语提前。例如:
大王来何操? (操何) (司马迁《鸿门宴》)
沛公安在? (在安) (同上)
微斯人,
吾谁与归? (与谁)(
范仲淹《
岳阳楼记》)
不然,籍何以至此? (以何) (司马迁《鸿门宴》)
一是用“之”或“是”把宾语提到前边。例如:
句读之不知,惑之不解。(不知
句读,不解惑)(
韩愈《师说》)
唯利是图(图利)
状语后置
现代汉语中
状语置于
谓语之前,若置于谓语之后便是
补语。但在文言文中,处于补语的成分往往要以状语来理解。
例如:《鸿门宴》:“将军战河北,臣战河南。”“战河南”即“战(于)河南”,应理解为“于河南战”。《促织》:“覆之以掌”即“以掌覆之”应理解为“用手掌覆盖(蟋蟀)”。
状语后置最常见一种形式是
介词结构后置。在现代汉语里,介词结构常常放在
动词前作状语,古代汉语里有则往往置后作补语。例如:
生乎吾前,其闻道也固先乎吾,吾从而师之。(韩愈《师说》)
为坛而盟,祭以尉首。(司马迁《陈涉世家》)
定语后置
所谓的定语后置,就是指在文言中,把修饰限定的词放在
宾语中心语(即中心词)后面
例如:
遂率子孙荷担者三夫。(《列子·愚公移山》)
大阉之乱,绍绅而能不易其志者,四海之大,有几人欤? (
张溥《五人墓碑记》)
英语倒装
倒装是一种
语法手段,用于表示一定的句子结构或强调某一
句子成分。
倒装句有两种:完全倒装和部分倒装。
完全倒装
1. 完全倒装即把整个
谓语放到
主语之前(是整个
谓语动词,而非
助动词)。
例如:
①The teacher came in and the class began.(没有倒装)
②In came the teacher and the class began. (老师走了进来,然后开始上课。)
2. there引出的完全
倒装句:除了最常见的there be
句型例如:
There appeared to be a man in black in the distance.(远处有个穿黑色衣服的人。)
3. 由地点和时间
副词引出的完全倒装句:以
地点副词here,there和时间副词now,then
开头,后面的
动词是be,come,exist,fall,follow,go,lie,remain,seem,stand(表移动或动态的不及物动词)等,而
主语又是名词时,构成完全倒装句。
例如:
Up climbed the boy when his mother came.
4. 表示运动方向的副词或
地点状语置于句首,
谓语表示运动的
动词且主语是名词时使用完全倒装
(1)当句首状语为
方位词或拟声词,
谓语动词为go,come等表示位置转移的动词时句子须倒装。
例如:
① Up went the plane.
② In came the chairman and the meeting began.
例如:
① They rushed out!
② He bent Lower and lower.
(2) 当句首状语为表示地点、方向等的
介词词组时,句子须倒装。例如:
① Round the corner walked a large policeman.
② Under the table was lying a half-conscious young man.
(3)当句首
状语由“only +
副词”,“only +介词词组”,“only +状语从句”构成时,句子须倒装。
例如:
① Only yesterday did he find out that his watch was missing. (不属于完全倒装)
② Only because there were some cancelled bookings did he get some tickets in the end.
(4)当句首
状语为here,there,now,then等时,句子须倒装,
主语是
代词时,句子不用倒装。
例如:
① Here is a ticket for you.
② Now comes your turn.
③ Here he comes.
6. 以
关联词so (…that)开头的句子中,句子须倒装。
例如:
① So small was the mark that I could hardly see it.
② So quickly did the workmen finish their work that they were given a bonus.
③ So much does he worry about his financial position that he can’t sleep at night.
注:在该结构中,“so +形容词”是
表语的前置;“so +
副词”是
状语的前置。
7. 在叙事性
书面语中,
直接引语后常跟asked Mary,answered John,said the old lady,grunted Peter之类的词语。在这些词语中,
动词常在
主语之前,主语是
代词时,不用倒装。
例如:
①“What do you mean?” asked Henry.
②“What do you mean?” he asked.
8. often,many a time等表示频度的
状语置于句首时
例如:
Often did they think of going there,but they never had a chance. [这里应该是部分倒装,仅助动词do提前]
9.在as,though引导的
让步状语从句中,一般将形容词、
副词或名词等置于句首。
例如:
①Small as the atom is,we can smash it.
②Big as the workpiece is,it is turned out with.
注意:
(1) 在here,there引出的
倒装句中,当
主语是普通名词时用完全倒装句,但当主语是
代词时,就要用部分倒装句;若主语为人称代词,句子不倒装。
例:
①Here comes the postman!(邮递员终于来了!注意实意
谓语动词位于主语之前。)
②Here we are.(我们到了。注意
系动词位于主语代词之后。)
(2) 当主语是代词,
谓语是系
动词,表语是说明性的词、词组和
定语从句时,可以使用完全
倒装句,起强调作用。
例:
①Lucky is he who has been enrolled into a famous university.(他真幸运,被一所名牌大学录取了。)
②Typical for China is the crosstalk show where a pair of comedians entertains the audience with word play.(中国典型的是相声表演,两个喜剧演员通过文字游戏逗乐观众)
10.有时为了使句子平衡,或为了强调表语,常把作表语的形容词,过去分词,不定式或介词短语置于句首,此时需用完全倒装。
Present at the meeting were experts on AIDS
部分倒装
(1) 部分倒装即只把
谓语的一部分(如
助动词、
情态动词等)放到
主语前,或把句子的强调成分提前。
Nor did he let the disease stop him from living the kind of life he has always dreamt about(疾病没有使他放弃过上梦想中的生活)
(2) 以
否定词开头的句子要求部分倒装。注意下列句子中助动词或情态动词提前、甚至补充助动词的用法: 例:Not until yesterday did little John change his mind.(小约翰直到昨天才改变了主意。) In no country other than Britain,it had been said,can one experience four seasons in the course of a single day.(据说除了英国世界上没有哪个国家能让人在一天中感受到四季变化)
(3) 以否定
副词开头并加
状语放在句首的句子要求部分倒装。这些否定副词有barely,hardly,little,seldom,
scarcely…… when,never,no sooner…… than,rarely,no more,not nearly,not only等以及only。 Only in the country can you learn the “true English”.
(4)一些如scarcely……when,no sooner ……than,hardly……when引导的
主从复合句主句要求使用过去完成式。 注意:在部分
倒装句中,只有
助动词、情态动词或
连系动词to be可以置于
主语之前,其它部分都要置于主语之后。
(5)此外,一些
介词+no+名词的结构中需要用部分倒装,这些结构包括at no time; by no means; by no manner of means; for no reason; in no case; in/under no circumstances; in no sense; in no way; on no account; on no consideration; at no point例如Under no circumstances should you lend Paul any money. 注意:
(a) 如果含有
从句时,只要求主句倒装: 例:Only after he had spoken out the word did he realize he had made a big mistake.(只有当他已经说出那个字后才意识到自己犯了个大错误。)
(b) 如果上述否定
副词出现在
强调句型中的前半部分,不用倒装:
例:It was not until he went abroad that he knew the truth of the fact.(直到他出国以后才了解到
事实真相。)
(c) 如果hardly,scarcely后面接的是any,ever,at all时,意义类似almost no/ not/ never(几乎不、从不),则无须倒装。
例:Hardly any people invited went there.(几乎没有什么受到邀请的人去那里了。)
(6) 由no matter how,however和how引导的
状语从句要求部分倒装,因为形容词或
副词通常紧跟在这三个
引导词后面,然后才是
主语和
谓语,形成形式上的部分
倒装句:
例:I know nothing about this river,neither how long,how wide nor how deep it is.(我一点也不了解这条河,不知道它有多长,多宽或多深。)
(7) 由as引导的部分倒装句:
(a) 当as作为比较意义时,即用于as + adj./ adv. + as结构中时,如果把第一个as省略掉,就形成部分
倒装句。
例:Cautious as the rest of her family (was),she didn't seem willing to give an immediate reply to my question.(正如她家里人一样
谨慎小心,她似乎不愿意立即回答我的问题。)
She charged the stairs,quick as a rabbit (ran).(她跑上楼去,跑得象兔子那么快!)
(b) 当 as引导让步
状语时,和although,though一样,当用作“尽管”之义时,可以用于部分倒装句。
Hard as he worked,he did not pass the exam.(虽然他很用功,但他还是没及格)
(c) 表示原因时,为了强调起见,也可以倒装。
例:Tired as he was,we decided not to disturb him.(因为他太累了,我们决定不打扰他。)
(d) 等于so时,意义是“也,也是”
例:She worked hard,so/ as did her husband. (她工作很努力,她的丈夫工作也很努力。)
so,neither,nor倒装
除了构成上述
倒装句以外,还可以取代上文出现的名词、形容词甚至
整句话,构成完全倒装句或部分倒装句。但这两种倒装的意义不同。
(a) 当so表示“也,相同,那样”时,通常表示对前一句
肯定句的赞同、一致内容,要求使用完全倒装句:
He promised to finish my homework,so did I.
(b) so /such ……that句型可以构成部分倒装句,表示强调so /such和that之间的部分:
例:So selfish was she that everyone avoid talking with her.
(c)也存在such+be+
主语的情况用以强调,例如Such was Albert Einstein,a simple man of great achievements.(阿尔伯特?爱因斯坦是一个有伟大成就的普通人)
(d) neither和nor共有4种倒装形式,其含义分别为:
例:You don't know what to do now,neither/ nor do I .(你不知道现在该做什么,我也不知道。)
例:The besieged enemy could not advance,nor / neither could they retreat.(被包围的敌人既不能进,也不能退。)(应该是部分倒装-这里不应该是“retreat could they”。括号内此段可删除)
She never laughed,nor did she ever lose her temper.
例:All that is true,nor must we forget it.(那全都是真的,我们可不能忘记。)
部分倒装作用
有承上启下作用,表示同意和赞同:
例:A: I couldn't do anything for her.(我帮不了她。)
B: Nor you could,but you might have got somebody to help her.(你是不能帮她,但你本可以找人帮她的。)
(2) 在进行比较的句子里,如果
主语不是
代词时,可以倒装:
例:America consumes more energy than did our country.(美国消耗的能源比我们国家多。)
(3)在某些表示祝愿的句型中要求倒装。如May you happy.
(4)在文学作品中常出现倒装,有些是由于语法习惯,有些是为了简单的
修辞,如Not even one cloud will I bring away(不带走
一片云彩).
不用倒装的地方
Only Wang Ling knows this .
如果直接引语后注明引语是什么人说的,而且
主语是名词时,用倒装结构;主语是
代词时,一般不用倒装。
分类
there be结构
在“there be”(或there + appear to be,come,exist,happen to be,lie,live,occur,remain,seem,seem to be,stand,used to be) 雪结构中,倒装形式为完全倒装。如:

Here comes the bus.
公共汽车来了。
Here is the letter you have been looking forward to.
你久盼的信在这儿。
Here they are. 他们在这儿。
省略if的非真实条件状语从句中的倒装

书读得越多,知识就越渊博。
特殊句型
用于有直接引语的句型中
在直接引语之后,“
主语+ say/ ask之类的
动词”可以用正
语序,也可以倒装,在书面语中常用全部倒装。如:
--“What do you mean?” asked Henry. (or:…Henry asked.)
--“Perhaps he isn’t a bad sort of chap after all,” remarked Dave.
--“I am aware of that,” replied the Englishman.
--“Please go away,” said one child. “ And don't come back,” pleaded another.
--“What do you mean?” he asked.
--“Who’s paying?” shouted the fat man at the corner. “You are,” I answered.
这种祈求性
虚拟语气一般只用于几种相当固定的说法中。如:
--Long live the People’s Republic of China!
--Far be it from me to spoil the fun.
“may +
主语+
谓语”这种结构表示一种愿望或诅咒。
--May you live a long and happy life!
--May the best man win!
--May he never set foot in this house again!
--May you break your neck!
用于 “so…that…”句型中
把so置于句首的情形下,需要部分倒装。如:
--So absurd did he look that everyone stared at him.
--So suspicious did he become that…
--So vigorously did he protest that the authorities reconsidered his case.
用于as之后,表示状态和相似
倒装在文学体裁中有时出现在as之后,例如:
--She traveled a great deal,as did most of her friends.
--The present owner is a keen art collector,as were several of her ancestors.
--She looks forward,as does her secretary,to the completion of the building.
在条件和让步分句中
表达虚拟的if
从句(非真实条件从句)中的if可以省略,句子呈现倒装。例如:
--Were I Tom I would refuse. (=If I were Tom…)
--Had I known what was going to happen,I would never have left her alone. (=If I had known …)
--Should you change your mind,no one would blame you. (= If you should change…)
b. 用于以as,though引导的表达让步的
从句中
在这样的
分句中,句子部分倒装。如果是though作引导词,句子可以用倒装也可以不用倒装,而如果是as为引导词,则一定要用倒装。如:
--Eloquent though/as she was,she could not persuade them. (or: Though she was eloquent…)
--Child though Tom was then,he had to earn his living. (= Though Tom was a child then…)
--Change your mind as you will,you will gain no additional support.
另外,that也可以象as,though一样用于倒装方式表示让步。如:
--Fool that he was,he managed to evade his pursuers. (= Even though he was a fool…)
--Poor that they were,they gave money to charity. (= Even though they were poor…)
用于感叹句
感叹句通常采用正
语序,即
主语在前,
谓语在后。但有时感叹句采用的却是
疑问句的形式。尤其是在
美国英语中,感叹句常常象普通疑问句。
--Isn’t it cold! 真冷!
--Am I fed up! 我腻烦死了!
--Did he look annoyed! 他看来可气恼了!
副词so
这类倒装主要见于以下两种情形:
1. 当
副词so后接形容词或副词位于句首时,其后要用部分倒装。如:
So cold was the weather that we had to stay at home. 天气太冷,我们只好呆在家里。
So fast does light travel that we can hardly imagine its speed. 光速很快,我们几乎没法想象它的速度。
So sudden was the attack that we had no time to escape. 袭击来得非常突然,我们来不及逃跑。
2. 当要表示前面提出的某一肯定的情况也同样适合于后者,通常就要用“So+
助动词+
主语”这种倒装结构。如:
You are young and so am I. 你年轻,我也年轻。
She likes music and so do I. 她喜欢音乐,我也喜欢。
If he can do it,so can I. 要是他能做此事,我也能。

答案与解析
1. A。以 not until 开头的句子要用部分倒装; 是一般过去时,在
主语前要加did,
谓语动词用
原形。句意为:直到河里的鱼全死了村民们才认识到污染的严重性。
2. C。由否定意义的词 never once 开头,句子用部分倒装。前一并列分句已经提示要用现在完成
时态。
3. B。以 little,never,seldom,hardly 等含否定意义的词开头的句子要用部分倒装; 后文表明要用一般过去时,所以要用 did he care。
4. C。这是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,后面的主句用would have done,
从句用had done过去完成时,在if省略的情况下,则把had提到
主语之前。
5. B。表示后者与前者的情况一样就用倒装; 如果是对上文加以肯定或强调“的确是这样”就不用倒装。句意是:“David 最近取得了很大的进步。”“是的,他取得了很大的进步,你也取得了很大进步。”
6. B。对别人的话表示赞成“的确如此”,不用倒装。句意是:“你太粗心大意了,你的衣服在外面放了一夜。”“哎呀!真的是这样。”
7. C。以 not 等否定意义的词开头的句子要用部分倒装。
8. D。以“so + 形容词”开头的句子要用部分倒装; 由 determined 可知用一般过去时。
9. B。句意是:天哪!我确实忘了带钱包。
10. D。only 加
状语置于句首,要用部分倒装,排除 A 和 B; 又因 you 与 allow是被动关系,排除 C。
11. D。以 never 开头的句子要部分倒装; 表示过去(got the job )的过去,要用过去完成时。
12. C。因题干是部分
倒装句,只有答案 C 能构成倒装的条件:only 加状语开头的句子要用部分倒装。
13. A。only 加状语置于句首,要用部分倒装。
14. D。not only…but also连接两个分句时,仅仅是 not only 这一分句要部分倒装,but also 后不倒装, 故选D
15. B。因为表示甲不做某事,乙也同样不做某事,用“neither /nor +特殊词+
主语”,“特殊词”用与
前句中的情态
动词、
助动词或be相同,或根据前句的时态,用do,does,did。因前句中有would,后句应重复would,所以选B。
16. C。因为以表示“与…一样不/没有”的
否定词neither开头,要用部分倒装,排除A和B; 又根据there be后的名词end是
单数,be用is,而不用are,所以只有C正确。
