在英语语法中,全部倒装是一种强调某些内容的常见结构,通常在否定词开头、副词或介词短语开头,以及使用”so/neither + 助动词”的句子中出现。例如:”Never have I seen such a beautiful sunset.”,”In front of the house stood a beautiful garden.”,”She can’t speak French, and neither can I.”等。
1. 否定词开头
当一个句子以否定词开头时,全部倒装的结构就会出现。
例如:
- Never have I seen such a beautiful sunset. (我从未见过如此美丽的日落。)
- Seldom do we have the opportunity to travel abroad. (我们很少有机会出国旅游。)
- Not only was he late, but he also forgot his homework. (他不仅迟到了,而且还忘带了作业。)
2. 副词或介词短语开头
同样,当一个句子以副词或介词短语开头时,也可以使用全部倒装的结构。
例如:
- In front of the house stood a beautiful garden. (房子前面有一个美丽的花园。)
- On the top of the mountain were some ancient ruins. (山顶上有一些古代遗迹。)
- Out of the blue came a phone call from my friend. (突然间我收到了朋友的电话。)
3. “so/neither + 助动词”
在一个句子中,如果使用了“so/neither + 助动词”的结构,那么全部倒装也会出现。
例如:
- She can’t speak French, and neither can I. (她不会说法语,我也不会。)
- He has never been to New York, so neither have I. (他从未去过纽约,我也是。)
