Inversion

一、概述： 英语句子的基本语序是主语在前，谓 语动词在后 (the natural order) ，当语序 颠倒时就成了倒装结构 (the inverted order) 。把谓语的全部放在主语之前称 为完全倒装；而只把助动词或情态动词 放在主语之前，则称为部分倒装。

二、全部倒装： 1. here, there, now, then, thus ， out ， away, up,down 等副词置于句 首, 谓语动词常用 be, come, go, lie, run 。当其主语为名词时，通常要 使用倒装。例如：

a. There goes the bell. b. Then came the chairman. c. Here is your letter. d. Away went the boy to the school! e. Off goes the woman! 注意：上述全部倒装的句型结构的主 语必须是名词，如果主语是人称代词 则不能倒装。 Here he comes. Away they went.

2. 以引导词 there 开头的句子，须使用倒 装结构，除 there be 外还有 there live / stand / lie / exist 等。例如： a. There are three books on the desk ． b.There lived an old fisherman near the sea. c.There stands a tall building in the centre of the town.

3. so, neither, nor 表示前面所述一件事 也适合另一个人或物时。 So 用于肯定 句， neither/nor 用于否定句. a. Tom can speak French. So can Jack. b. If you don't go, neither will I. 注意： 1) 当 so 引出的句子用以对上 文内容加以证实或肯定时，不可用倒 装结构，意为的确如此。

Tom asked me to go to play football and so I did. ---It’s raining hard. ---So it is. 2) 但如果上文所述两件事也适合另一个 人或物，就用 So it is /was with sb. 或 It is/was the same with sb. Marx was born in Germany and German was his native language. So it was with Engels.

4. 介词短语做地点状语放在句首 a. In the cottage lives a family of six. b. Near the bridge was an old cottage. c. In front of the house sat a little boy.

三、部分倒装 : 1. 疑问句 a. Have you seen the film? b. When are we going to drink to your happiness? 注意：如疑问词在句中做主语，则用 自然语序。 c. Who is your sister? d. What is our work?

2. so/such...that 的 so/such 位于句首时， a. So loudly did the students read that people could hear them out in the street. b. So small were the words that he could hardly see them. c. Such a famous man he is that everyone wants to take a photo with him.

3. 否定意义的副词或短语位于句首时， 常见的有： in no way, not only…but also, never, little, rarely, seldom, hardly... When, no sooner…than, scarcely…when, in no case, not until ( 当 not until 引出主从 复合句，主句倒装，从句不倒装。 ) 等.

a. Not until the child fell asleep did the mother leave the room. b. Hardly can I follow you. c. Seldom do I visit USA. d. Never have I seen such a performance. 注意： 如否定词不在句首不倒装。 e. I have never seen such a performance. f. The mother didn't leave the room until the child fell asleep.

7. only 位于句首，强调句子的状语时。 a. Only then did I fully understand what my father said. b. Only when I left school did I realize how important study is. 注意 : 如果强调的是句子主语时不倒装。 c. Only he can help us.

Discovering useful structures 1.Refer to pages to find out what inversion is. Then find three sentences beginning with never, not only or only if in the reading passage. Underline them and pay attention to inversion of the subject and verb.

1) Never will Zhou Yang forget his first assignment at the office of a popular English newspaper. 2) Not only am I interested in photography, but I took an amateur course at university to update my skills. 3) Only if you ask many different questions will you acquire all the information you need to know.
