倒裝句一定是大家在學英文中遇到的一個很困難的檻,每次只要遇到倒裝句學生都是一片橫屍遍野。今天來討論倒裝句的文法以及相關的規則,解決你的煩惱!
倒裝句使用用途、強化語氣
倒裝句的使用時機不外乎是為了加強語調,達到重點強化的目的。
例句:
Here comes Superman! He is going to save us!
(超人來了!他即將拯救我們!)
若是用一般的用法就會變成:
Superman comes! He is going to save us!
(超人來了!他即將拯救我們!)
雖然意思一樣,但是很明顯是前者的語氣比較強烈。用在作文或是陳述中有畫龍點睛的效果。
倒裝句基礎文法規則一、(助)動詞與主詞交換
以最基本的倒裝句來說,其實許多簡單的疑問句都是倒裝句的一種。如:
He is sick.
=> Is he sick?
They play basketball today.
=> Do they play basketball today?
倒裝句基礎文法規則二、here/there句型
Here/there 屬於地方副詞的一種,我們一開始的舉例就是用Here/there造句的句型,若是放在句首則需要倒裝:
The bus comes. I have been waiting for over twenty minutes!
=> Here comes the bus. I have been waiting for over twenty minutes!
倒裝句進階文法規則三、否定句型倒裝
當把never/not until…/ under no circumstances/by no means等否定單字片語放句首時,句子也需要倒裝。原本是主要子句為否定句,後面接副詞子句,倒裝時,要先將主要子句的not或never放在副詞子句前面,整個移到主要子句的主詞前面,再將主要子句倒裝。
S + be動詞 + V + 否定單字片語 => (否定單字片語) + be動詞 + V + S
例句如下:
You can't steal under any circumstances!
=> Under no circumstances can you steal!
(在任何情況下你都不能偷竊!)
under any circumstances 在任何情況下都…
under no circumstances 在任何情況下都不…
By no means can he defeat her.
(他絕不可能打敗她。)
by no means 絕不…

倒裝句進階用法、強化假設句語氣
前面的倒裝句都學會的話我們學一些進階的用法-強化假設句的語氣。在if子句中,遇到were/should/had時,可以將 if 省略。把were/should/had放在句首,例句如:
If I were you, I definitely wouldn't do that.
=> Were I you, I definitely wouldn't do that.
(假設我是你,我完全不會做那件事。)
If I had known it earlier, I would have stopped you.
=> Had I known it earlier, I would have stopped you.
(如果我早點知道的話,我會阻止你的。)
If he should do that, we would no longer be friends anymore.
=> Should he do that, we would no longer be friends anymore.
(如果他做那件事的話我們就再也不會是朋友了。)
