Down came the rain and up went the umbrellas.

注意：当主语是代词时，主语和谓语的语序不变。如：

Away he went.

Down it fell.

⑤有时为了强调或使句子平衡，常把句子的表语置于句首，构成完全倒装。如：

Below is a restaurant.

Nearby are houses built by the villagers themselves.

Gone are the days when they had nothing to eat.

⑥有时为了强调，可将谓语部分的动词-ing形式、过去分词或不定式置于句首。如：

Lying on the floor was a boy aged about 17.

Hidden underground is a wealth of gold.

To be carefully considered are the following questions.

2. 部分倒装

　　部分倒装是把谓语的一部分，如助动词或情态动词提到主语之前。常见的部分倒装结构有：

①含否定意义的词或短语（not, nor, never, seldom, hardly, scarcely, rarely, little, few, nowhere, not until, not only, no sooner, in no way, on no account, under no circumstances, by no means等）置于句首。如：

Never have I seen such a beautiful park.
