语法讲解

【语法56】倒装句

倒装句分为部分倒装和完全倒装。部分倒装把助动词/情态动词/be 动词提到主语前；完全倒装把整个谓语提到主语前，常用于书面和正式表达。

类型 触发词/结构 例句
部分倒装 否定副词开头：never, seldom, rarely, hardly, scarcely, barely, little Never have I seen such a beautiful sunset.（我从未见过如此美丽的日落）
部分倒装 only + 状语 开头 Only in this way can we solve the problem.
部分倒装 so / such...that 中的 so/such 开头 So tired was he that he fell asleep immediately.
部分倒装 not until, not only...but also, neither/nor, hardly...when Not until yesterday did I realize my mistake. / Nor did he agree.
完全倒装 地点/方位副词开头：here, there, up, down, out, in, at the top of... Here comes the bus. / On the wall hangs a painting.
完全倒装 表语前置（形容词/分词/介词短语） Gone are the days when we were young. / Among the guests was a famous writer.

注意： - 部分倒装只把助动词/情态动词/be 动词提前，主要动词位置不变。 - 完全倒装的主语通常是名词；若主语是代词，不倒装：Here it comes.（不说 Here comes it） - "So + 助动词 + 主语" 表示“……也一样”：I like music, and so does she.
