1.倒装句有两种情况:一种为完全倒装;一种为部分倒装。例句4为完全倒装;其余为部分倒装。
2.否定副词(短语)(如never,neither,nor,little,hardly,not only,not until等)位于句首时,句子常用部分倒装。例句1和2就属于这类情况。
3.only后接状语(可为单个副词、介词短语,也可以为从句)位于句首时,句子常用部分倒装。如例句3。
英语中的倒装可以分为部分倒装和全部倒装。谓语的一部分(助动词、情态动词、be动词)移到主语之前,而谓语的其余部分(实义动词)仍保留在主语之后,这样的主谓倒装叫做部分倒装(Partial inversion)。谓语的所有部分都移到主语之前的主谓倒装叫做全部倒装(Complete inversion)。下面我们分别讨论一下它们各自使用的场合。
一、部分倒装
1.表示否定意义的副词或短语,如never,seldom,little,hardly,rarely,in no way,in no case,at no time,by no means,in/under no circumstances,nowhere等放到句首,要使用部分倒装。
Little did he care about his own safety,though he was in great danger himself.他一点都不关心自己的安全,尽管他自己处在极大的危险之中。
Never before has our country been so prosperous and powerful as it is today.
