倒裝

倒裝

倒裝是將語句中的主語、謂語、賓語、狀語等顛倒順序的一種語法現象,常常具有強調語氣,在古漢語文言文和英語語句中比較常見。

文言倒裝


主謂倒置

dào zhuāng
(注意:不要讀成dǎo zhuāng)
為了強調謂語,有時將謂語置於主語之前。這僅僅是因為語言表達的需要。
如,“甚矣,汝之不惠(慧)!”(《愚公移山》)另外,還有定語置於中心詞之後,修飾名詞的量詞放在名詞之後等特殊現象,因不常用,因此按下不表。
1、嘻!晏子之家若是其貧也! (《晏子春秋·晏子辭千金》)
2、悲哉,世也!(《工之僑獻琴》)

賓語前置

1、否定句中代詞賓語前置
這類賓語前置,要具備兩個條件:一是賓語必須是代詞;二是必須是否定句,由“不”、“未”、“毋”、“莫”等否定詞表示。在這種情況下,代詞賓語要放在動詞之前和否定詞之後。
例如:《碩鼠》:“三歲貫汝,莫我肯顧。”“莫我肯顧”應理解成“莫肯顧我”。
2、疑問句中代詞賓語前置
文言文中用疑問代詞“誰”、“何”、“奚”、“安”等做賓語時往往放在動詞的前面。
例如:《鴻門宴》:“良問曰:‘大王來何操?’”“何操”應理解為“操何”。
3、介詞賓語前置
在現代漢語中,介詞後面跟著賓語,組成介賓結構,用來修飾動詞謂語。在文言文中,介詞賓語往往置與介詞之前,形成一種倒置的現象。
例如:《岳陽樓記》:“噫!微斯人,吾誰與歸?”“誰與歸”應理解為“與誰歸”。
4、普通賓語前置(略)
在一般性的賓語前置中,大家要注意語感。
§文言文中,動詞或介詞的賓語,一般置於動詞或介詞之後,但在一定條件下,賓語會前置,其條件是:
第一、疑問句中,疑問代詞作賓語,賓語前置。這類句子,介詞的賓語也是前置的。
如:“沛公安在?”(《史記.項羽本記》)
這種類型的句子關鍵是作賓語的疑問代詞(像:誰、何、奚、曷、胡、惡、安、焉等)。值得注意的是,介詞“以”的賓語比較活躍,即使不是疑問代詞,也可以前置。如:“余是以記之,以俟觀人風者得焉。”(柳宗元《捕蛇者說》)其中的“是”是一般代詞,但也前置了。
第二、文言否定句中,代詞作賓語,賓語前置。
這類句子有兩點要注意,一是否定句(一般句中必須有“不”、“未”“毋”、“無”、“莫”等否定詞);二是代詞作賓語。如:“時人莫之許也。”(陳壽《三國志.諸葛亮傳》)正常語序應該是“時人莫許之也。”
第三、用“之”或“是”把賓語提前取動詞前,以突出強調賓語。
這時的“之”只是賓語前置的標誌,沒有什麼實在意義。如:“句讀之不知,惑之不解。”(韓愈師說》)有時,還可以在前置的賓語前加上一個範圍副詞“唯”,構成“唯…….....是…….....”的格式。如:“唯利是圖”、“唯命是從”等。
第四、介詞賓語前置的情況除了第一種情況外,還有一種情況,就是方位詞、時間詞作賓語時,有時也前置;例如:“業文南向坐。”(《史記.項羽本記》)意思是“業文面向南坐。”
§賓語前置相當多見,有幾種情況。一是否定句中代詞作賓語,賓語提前。
古之人不余欺也。(不欺余) (蘇軾《石鐘山記》)。
天大寒,硯冰堅,手指不可屈伸,弗之怠。(弗怠之) (宋濂送東陽馬生序》)
一是疑問句中代詞作動詞或介詞的賓語,賓語提前。例如:
大王來何操? (操何) (司馬遷《鴻門宴》)
沛公安在? (在安) (同上)
子何恃而往? (侍何) (彭端淑為學》)
微斯人,吾誰與歸? (與誰) (范仲淹《岳陽樓記》)
不然,籍何以至此? (以何) (司馬遷《鴻門宴》)
一是用“之”或“是”把賓語提到前邊。例如:
句讀之不知,惑之不解。(不知句讀,不解惑)(韓愈《師說》)
唯利是圖(圖利)

狀語後置

現代漢語中狀語置於謂語之前,若置於謂語之後便是補語。但在文言文中,處於補語的成分往往要以狀語來理解。
例如:《鴻門宴》:“將軍戰河北,臣戰河南。”“戰河南”即“戰(於)河南”,應理解為“於河南戰”。《促織》:“覆之以掌”即“以掌覆之”應理解為“用手掌覆蓋(蟋蟀)”。
狀語後置最常見一種形式是介詞結構後置。在現代漢語里,介詞結構常常放在動詞前作狀語,古代漢語里有則往往置後作補語。例如:
青,取之於藍,而青於藍。(荀子《勸學》)
得雙石於潭上。(蘇軾《石鐘山記》)
君子博學而日參省乎己。(荀子《勸學》)
生乎吾前,其聞道也固先乎吾,吾從而師之。(韓愈《師說》)
為壇而盟,祭以尉首。(司馬遷《陳涉世家》)

定語後置

所謂的定語後置,就是指在文言中,把修飾限定的詞放在賓語中心語(即中心詞)後面
例如:
遂率子孫荷擔者三夫。(《列子·愚公移山》)
大閹之亂,紹紳而能不易其志者,四海之大,有幾人歟? (張溥五人墓碑記》)
石之鏗然有聲者,所在皆是也。(蘇軾《石鐘山記》)

英語倒裝


倒裝是一種語法手段,用於表示一定的句子結構或強調某一句子成分。倒裝句有兩種:完全倒裝和部分倒裝。

完全倒裝

1. 完全倒裝即把整個謂語放到主語之前(是整個謂語動詞,而非助動詞)。
例如:
①The teacher came in and the class began.(沒有倒裝)
②In came the teacher and the class began. (老師走了進來,然後開始上課。)
2. there引出的完全倒裝句:除了最常見的there be句型以外,there還可以接appear,exist,lie,remain,seem to be,stand等,一般都譯成"有"的含義,構成完全倒裝句。
例如:
There appeared to be a man in black in the distance.(遠處有個穿黑色衣服的人。)
3. 由地點和時間副詞引出的完全倒裝句:以地點副詞here,there和時間副詞now,then開頭,後面的動詞是be,come,exist,fall,follow,go,lie,remain,seem,stand(表移動或動態的不及物動詞)等,而主語又是名詞時,構成完全倒裝句。
例如:
Up climbed the boy when his mother came.
4. 表示運動方向的副詞或地點狀語置於句首,謂語表示運動的動詞且主語是名詞時使用完全倒裝
5. 在強調狀語時
1)當句首狀語為方位詞或擬聲詞,謂語動詞為go,come等表示位置轉移的動詞時句子須倒裝。
例如:
① Up went the plane.
② In came the chairman and the meeting began.
註:如果主語是代詞則不發生倒裝。
例如:
① They rushed out!
② He bent Lower and lower.
2)當句首狀語為表示地點、方向等的介詞片語時,句子須倒裝。例如:
① Round the corner walked a large policeman.
② Under the table was lying a half-conscious young man.
3)當句首狀語由“only +副詞”,“only +介詞片語”,“only +狀語從句”構成時,句子須倒裝。
例如:
① Only yesterday did he find out that his watch was missing. (不屬於完全倒裝)
② Only because there were some cancelled bookings did he get some tickets in the end.
4)當句首狀語為here,there,now,then等時,句子須倒裝,主語是代詞時,句子不用倒裝。
例如:
① Here is a ticket for you.
② Now comes your turn.
③ Here he comes.
6. 以關聯詞so (…that)開頭的句子中,句子須倒裝。
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.
註:在該結構中,“so +形容詞”是表語的前置;“so +副詞”是狀語的前置。
7. 在敘事性書面語中,直接引語后常跟asked Mary,answered John,said the old lady,grunted Peter之類的詞語。在這些詞語中,動詞常在主語之前,主語是代詞時,不用倒裝。
例如:
①“What do you mean?” asked Henry.
②“What do you mean?” he asked.
8. often,many a time等表示頻度的狀語置於句首時
例如:
Often did they think of going there,but they never had a chance.
9.在as,though引導的讓步狀語從句中,一般將形容詞、副詞或名詞等置於句首。
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引出的倒裝句中,當主語是普通名詞時用完全倒裝句,但當主語是代詞時,就要用部分倒裝句;若主語為人稱代詞,句子不倒裝。
例:
①Here comes the postman!(郵遞員終於來了!注意實意謂語動詞位於主語之前。)
②Here we are.(我們到了。注意系動詞位於主語代詞之後。)
2) 當主語是代詞,謂語是系動詞,表語是說明性的詞、片語和定語從句時,可以使用完全倒裝句,起強調作用。
例:
①Lucky is he who has been enrolled into a famous university.(他真幸運,被一所名牌大學錄取了。)
②Typical for China is the crosstalk show where a pair of comedians entertains the audience with word play.(中國典型的是相聲表演,兩個喜劇演員通過文字遊戲逗樂觀眾)
10.有時為了使句子平衡,或為了強調錶語,常把作表語的形容詞,過去分詞,不定式或介詞短語置於句首,此時需用完全倒裝。
Present at the meeting were experts on AIDS

部分倒裝

1) 部分倒裝即只把謂語的一部分(如助動詞、情態動詞等)放到主語前,或把句子的強調成分提前。
Nor did he let the disease stop him from living the kind of life he has always dreamt about(疾病沒有使他放棄過上夢想中的生活)
2) 以否定詞開頭的句子要求部分倒裝。注意下列句子中助動詞或情態動詞提前、甚至補充助動詞的用法:例:Not until yesterday did little John change his mind.(小約翰直到昨天才改變了主意。) In no country other than Britain,it had been said,can one experience four seasons in the course of a single day.(據說除了英國世界上沒有哪個國家能讓人在一天中感受到四季變化)
3) 以否定副詞開頭並加狀語放在句首的句子要求部分倒裝。這些否定副詞有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引導的主從複合句主句要求使用過去完成式。注意:在部分倒裝句中,只有助動詞、情態動詞或連繫動詞to be可以置於主語之前,其它部分都要置於主語之後。
5)此外,一些介詞+no+名詞的結構中需要用部分倒裝,這些結構包括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) 如果含有從句時,只要求主句倒裝:例:Only after he had spoken out the word did he realize he had made a big mistake.(只有當他已經說出那個字后才意識到自己犯了個大錯誤。)
b) 如果上述否定副詞出現在強調句型中的前半部分,不用倒裝:
例:It was not until he went abroad that he knew the truth of the fact.(直到他出國以後才了解到事實真相。)
c) 如果hardly,scarcely後面接的是any,ever,at all時,意義類似almost no/ not/ never(幾乎不、從不),則無須倒裝。
例:Hardly any people invited went there.(幾乎沒有什麼受到邀請的人去那裡了。)
6) 由no matter how,however和how引導的狀語從句要求部分倒裝,因為形容詞或副詞通常緊跟在這三個引導詞後面,然後才是主語和謂語,形成形式上的部分倒裝句:
例:I know nothing about this river,neither how long,how wide nor how deep it is.(我一點也不了解這條河,不知道它有多長,多寬或多深。)
7) 由as引導的部分倒裝句:
a) 當as作為比較意義時,即用於as + adj./ adv. + as結構中時,如果把第一個as省略掉,就形成部分倒裝句。
例:Cautious as the rest of her family (was),she didn't seem willing to give an immediate reply to my question.(正如她家裡人一樣謹慎小心,她似乎不願意立即回答我的問題。)
She charged the stairs,quick as a rabbit (ran).(她跑上樓去,跑得象兔子那麼快!)
b) 當 as引導讓步狀語時,和although,though一樣,當用作“儘管”之義時,可以用於部分倒裝句。
Hard as he worked,he did not pass the exam.(雖然他很用功,但他還是沒及格)
c) 表示原因時,為了強調起見,也可以倒裝。
例:Tired as he was,we decided not to disturb him.(因為他太累了,我們決定不打擾他。)
d) 等於so時,意義是“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倒裝
除了構成上述倒裝句以外,還可以取代上文出現的名詞、形容詞甚至整句話,構成完全倒裝句或部分倒裝句。但這兩種倒裝的意義不同。
a) 當so表示“也,相同,那樣”時,通常表示對前一句肯定句的贊同、一致內容,要求使用完全倒裝句:
He promised to finish my homework,so did I.
b) so /such ……that句型可以構成部分倒裝句,表示強調so /such和that之間的部分:
例:So selfish was she that everyone avoid talking with her.
c)也存在such+be+主語的情況用以強調,例如Such was Albert Einstein,a simple man of great achievements.(阿爾伯特?愛因斯坦是一個有偉大成就的普通人)
d) neither和nor共有4種倒裝形式,其含義分別為:
1) 完全倒裝時:表示"也不",和上文a)用法正好相反,表示對前一句否定句的贊同或一致內容。
例:You don't know what to do now,neither/ nor do I .(你不知道現在該做什麼,我也不知道。)
2) 和其它否定副詞連用,表示"也(不)",也要求用完全倒裝句:
例:The besieged enemy could not advance,nor / neither could they retreat.(被包圍的敵人既不能進,也不能退。)(應該是部分倒裝-這裡不應該是“retreat could they”。括弧內此段可刪除)
注意:若把這句話改成:"The besieged enemy could neither advance nor retreat.(被包圍的敵人既不能進,也不能退。)"就不必倒裝。
She never laughed,nor did she ever lose her temper.
3) 用在肯定句里,構成一般否定倒裝:
例:All that is true,nor must we forget it.(那全都是真的,我們可不能忘記。)
部分倒裝作用
有承上啟下作用,表示同意和贊同:
例:A: I couldn't do anything for her.(我幫不了她。)
B: Nor you could,but you might have got somebody to help her.(你是不能幫她,但你本可以找人幫她的。)
2) 在進行比較的句子里,如果主語不是代詞時,可以倒裝:
例:America consumes more energy than did our country.(美國消耗的能源比我們國家多。)
3)在某些表示祝願的句型中要求倒裝。如May you happy.
4)在文學作品中常出現倒裝,有些是由於語法習慣,有些是為了簡單的修辭,如Not even one cloud will I bring away(不帶走一片雲彩).
不用倒裝的地方
註:如果only後面的片語不是狀語,則不用倒裝.
Only Wang Ling knows this .
如果直接引語后註明引語是什麼人說的,而且主語是名詞時,用倒裝結構;主語是代詞時,一般不用倒裝。
" Let's go," said the man .

書讀得越多,知識就越淵博。

特殊句型


用於有直接引語的句型中
在直接引語之後,“主語+ say/ ask之類的動詞”可以用正語序,也可以倒裝,在書面語中常用全部倒裝。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.
但是,主語是代詞時不用倒裝。請比較:
--“What do you mean?” he asked.
--“Who’s paying?” shouted the fat man at the corner. “You are,” I answered.
用於表示祝願/意願的句型
這種祈求性虛擬語氣一般只用於幾種相當固定的說法中。如:
--Long live the People’s Republic of China!
--Far be it from me to spoil the fun.
“may +主語+謂語”這種結構表示一種願望或詛咒。
--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!
用於“so…that…”句型中
把so置於句首的情形下,需要部分倒裝。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.
用於as之後,表示狀態和相似
倒裝在文學體裁中有時出現在as之後,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.
在條件和讓步分句中
a. 用於條件句中
表達虛擬的if從句(非真實條件從句)中的if可以省略,句子呈現倒裝。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. 用於以as,though引導的表達讓步的從句中
在這樣的分句中,句子部分倒裝。如果是though作引導詞,句子可以用倒裝也可以不用倒裝,而如果是as為引導詞,則一定要用倒裝。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一樣用於倒裝方式表示讓步。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…)
用於感嘆句
感嘆句通常採用正語序,即主語在前,謂語在後。但有時感嘆句採用的卻是疑問句的形式。尤其是在美國英語中,感嘆句常常象普通疑問句。
--Isn’t it cold! 真冷!
--Am I fed up! 我膩煩死了!
--Did he look annoyed! 他看來可氣惱了!

副詞so


這類倒裝主要見於以下兩種情形:
1. 當副詞so後接形容詞或副詞位於句首時,其後要用部分倒裝。如:
So cold was the weather that we had to stay at home. 天氣太冷,我們只好獃在家裡。
So fast does light travel that we can hardly imagine its speed. 光速很快,我們幾乎沒法想象它的速度。

答案與解析

1. A。以 not until 開頭的句子要用部分倒裝;是一般過去時,在主語前要加did,謂語動詞用原形。句意為:直到河裡的魚全死了村民們才認識到污染的嚴重性。
2. C。由否定意義的詞 never once 開頭,句子用部分倒裝。前一併列分句已經提示要用現在完成時態。
3. B。以 little,never,seldom,hardly 等含否定意義的詞開頭的句子要用部分倒裝;後文表明要用一般過去時,所以要用 did he care。
4. C。這是與過去事實相反的虛擬語氣,後面的主句用would have done,從句用had done過去完成時,在if省略的情況下,則把had提到主語之前。
5. B。表示後者與前者的情況一樣就用倒裝;如果是對上文加以肯定或強調“的確是這樣”就不用倒裝。句意是:“David 最近取得了很大的進步。”“是的,他取得了很大的進步,你也取得了很大進步。”
6. B。對別人的話表示贊成“的確如此”,不用倒裝。句意是:“你太粗心大意了,你的衣服在外面放了一夜。”“哎呀!真的是這樣。”
7. C。以 not 等否定意義的詞開頭的句子要用部分倒裝。
8. D。以“so + 形容詞”開頭的句子要用部分倒裝;由 determined 可知用一般過去時。
9. B。句意是:天哪!我確實忘了帶錢包。
10. D。only 加狀語置於句首,要用部分倒裝,排除 A 和 B; 又因 you 與 allow是被動關係,排除 C。
11. D。以 never 開頭的句子要部分倒裝;表示過去(got the job )的過去,要用過去完成時。
12. C。因題干是部分倒裝句,只有答案 C 能構成倒裝的條件:only 加狀語開頭的句子要用部分倒裝。
13. A。only 加狀語置於句首,要用部分倒裝。
14. D。not only…but also連接兩個分句時,僅僅是 not only 這一分句要部分倒裝,but also 后不倒裝,故選D
15. B。因為表示甲不做某事,乙也同樣不做某事,用“neither /nor +特殊詞+主語”,“特殊詞”用與前句中的情態動詞、助動詞或be相同,或根據前句的時態,用do,does,did。因前句中有would,后句應重複would,所以選B。
16. C。因為以表示“與…一樣不/沒有”的否定詞neither開頭,要用部分倒裝,排除A和B; 又根據there be后的名詞end是單數,be用is,而不用are,所以只有C正確。
