英語語法倒裝句知識點:where 引出的倒裝句
???《警惕,高考英語陷阱》中有這樣一道題:
Little Jim is going to spend his holiday in Paris, _________ lives his uncle.
A. which B. who C. where D. that
【分析】許多人一看到空格后的謂語動詞lives,就以為空格處一定要填一個作主語的詞,從而誤選B或D。其實,此題的最佳答案應(yīng)是C,where lives his uncle 為倒裝詞序,此句可改為 and there lives his uncle 或 and his uncle lives there。類似的如:
He was led to a dark corner, where sat his old father.
他被引進一個黑暗的角落,他的老父親坐在那兒。
Towards evening we reached the village, where lived her parents.
到傍晚的時候,我們到了那個村莊,她的父母就住在那兒。
At last we found the spot he told me, where lay a dead dog.
最后我們找到了他告訴我們的那個地點,那兒躺著一條死狗。
為便于理解,請比較下面的倒裝句:
Next to it stood a pile of paper cups.
它旁邊有一堆紙杯。
In the doorway stood a man with a gun.
門口站著一個手持一枝槍的男人。
In the corner of the room stood a big old chair.
屋角兒放著一把舊的大椅子。
On a perch beside him sat a blue parrot.
在他旁邊的棲木上棲著一只藍色的鸚鵡。
