倒装句和强调句
I. 倒装句
倒装是一种语法手段,用以表示一定句子结构的需要或强调某一句子成分的需要。倒装包括完全倒装和部分倒装,有些异常语序也属于倒装。
1. 完全倒装
完全倒装是把句子的谓语全部置于主语之前。下列几种情况中多用完全倒装:
①地点状语位于句首,且主语是名词而谓语是不及物动词的陈述句。如:
On the top of the hill stands a tree.
②在"there + be / live / lie / stand等"结构中。如:
There is a man at the door wants to see you.
There lived an old fisherman in that house.
③当表示前面提出的某一情况也同样适合于后者时,通常要用"so / neither / nor +系动词/助动词/情态动词+主语"结构。如:
Henry is a teacher and so is his wife.
If James doesn't go there tomorrow, neither / nor will Kitty.
④here, there, now, then, out, in, up, down, off, away等副词位于句首,主语是名词,谓语动词通常是be, come, go, run, rush, fly, follow, fall等时。如:
Here are my replies to your questions.
There come the rest of the students.
