GMAT語法中的倒裝句,倒裝句分為兩大類,完全倒裝和部分倒裝,下面是詳細(xì)的介紹,供大家參考。

一.完全倒裝

1.表語在句首要倒裝

·介詞短語/分詞短語/形容詞短語+系動詞+主語(主語與前面的動詞主謂一致)

1.1介詞短語在句首

Among the people was a man named Brown. 在這些人中有一個叫布朗的人。

On the top of the hill stands an old temple. 這山頂上有一座廟。

From the valley came a frightening sound with some cries.

North of the city lies/is a new airport.

1.2分詞作表語

·過去分詞(有時構(gòu)成被動結(jié)構(gòu)的過去分詞)提前到句首,引起倒裝

·構(gòu)成進(jìn)行時態(tài)的現(xiàn)在分詞也可以提到前面來----張道真(正常語序看是進(jìn)行時態(tài))

Helping them raise their artistic level are various professorial organizations.

Visiting the Great Wall were 200 American college students.

Coinciding with the development of jazz in New Orleans in the 1920's was one of the greatest periods in blues music. (toefl原句)【coinciding with…顯然不是動名詞而是現(xiàn)在分詞倒裝】

·現(xiàn)在分詞提前到句首引起倒裝要和動名詞作主語區(qū)別開來

·下面例句是動名詞作主語:Teaching English is my job. / Visiting the Great wall is worthwhile.

1.3形容詞短語放句首

Present at the meeting is our English teacher. (Present出席的,在場的)

Gone are the days when we had a good time at the mountain village. (Gone 離去的)

2.為了保持句子平衡或上下文的連接更緊密,也可以采用倒裝。

They arrived at a farmhouse, in front of which sat a small boy.

·主語有過多修飾語亦可采用完全倒裝

Noteworthy is the factthat he has talent for music.

二.部分倒裝

1.一些表示頻率的副詞(如many a time, often等)位于句首時,句子部分倒裝。

Often did we go for walks together.

Many a time have I told him about it.

2.用于“no sooner…than…, hardly…when…和not until等結(jié)構(gòu)中”

No sooner had he arrived than someone called him.他一到就有人給他打電話

3.用于省略if的虛擬條件狀語從句(把were, had, should放在主語前構(gòu)成倒裝)

Were I you ( = If I were you ), I would not accept his present.

Had you ( = If you had ) studied hard, you might have passed the exam this time.

4. 用于“形容詞/名詞/動詞+as (though)”引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句,例如:

·形容詞:Pretty as she is(=As pretty as she is=though she is pretty), she is not clever at all.

·動詞:Try as he could, he might fail again.

·名詞:Child as he was, he had to sell newspapers in the streets.

5. 否定副詞(never, not…, seldom, hardly, neither, nor, scarcely, rarely, no longer, barely, little)

Barely did he have time to catch the bus.

Never have I been to Beijing.

6. So / Such 引導(dǎo)的倒裝句

So kind is she that she deserves all my respect.(全倒裝)

So loudly did he speak that everyone could hear him.

7. Only在句首強(qiáng)調(diào)狀語Only when the meeting is over can we know the decision.
