英語語法:否定副詞位于句首時(shí)的倒裝
一、英語倒裝句是個(gè)特殊的句型,在含有否定副詞的句子當(dāng)中,如never, seldom, rarely, little, hardly, scarcely, no sooner, no longer, nowhere 等這些含有否定意義的副詞位于句首時(shí),則其后要用部分倒裝,例如:
I shall never tell him. / Never shall I tell him. 我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)告訴他。
He seldom does work at home. / Seldom does he do work at home. 他很少在家工作。
She hardly has time to have a cup of tea with her friends. / Hardly does she have time to have a cup of tea with her friends. 她幾乎沒時(shí)間和她朋友一起喝茶。
He little realizes how important this meeting is. / Little does he realize how important this meeting is. 他不明白這個(gè)會(huì)議的重要性。
We had no sooner reached the airport than the plane took off. / No sooner had we reached the airport than the plane took off. 我們剛到機(jī)場,飛機(jī)就起飛了。
二、(1) 對(duì)于not…until句型,當(dāng)not until…位于句首時(shí),其后的主句要用倒裝語序:
He didn’t leave the room until the rain stopped. / Not until the rain stopped did he leave the room. 雨停了之后他才離開這房間。
(2) 某些起副詞作用的介詞短語,由于含有否定詞,若位于句首,其后要用部分倒裝:
On no accounts must this switch be touched. 這個(gè)開關(guān)是絕不能觸摸的。
In [Under] no circumstances will I lend the book to him.無論如何我也不會(huì)再借書給他了。
但是,in no time(立即,馬上)位于句首時(shí),其后無需用倒裝語序:
In no time he make the decision to help his sister.他馬上就決定幫助他的妹妹。
三、一般來說,英語倒裝句是一種語法手段,英語表示一定的句子結(jié)構(gòu)和強(qiáng)調(diào)某一句子成分,在我們平常的日常英語學(xué)習(xí)中,一定要注意積累英語倒裝句的用法,在英語寫作當(dāng)中,也可以嘗試運(yùn)用倒裝句,這樣對(duì)你的寫作分值會(huì)有所提高。
