倒装句谓语的一部分或者全部放在主语之前的句子称为倒装句。

定义为了强调、突出等语用目的而颠倒原有语序的句式叫做倒装句。在倒装句中,颠倒了的成分可以恢复原位而句意基本不变,句法成分不变。
英语倒装句(Inversion)
主语和谓语是句子的核心,它们之间有两种语序:
一是主语在谓语之前称为自然语序(Natural Order);
二是主语在谓语之后则称为倒装语序(Inverted Order)。
而倒装语序中又有完全倒装(Full Inversion)和部分倒装(Partial Inversion)
    1完全倒装(Full Inversion):又称"全部倒装",是只将句子中的谓语动词全部置于主语之前。此结构通常只用与一般现在时和一般过去时。
2.部分倒装(Partial Inversion):指将谓语的一部分如助动词或情态倒装至主语之前。如果句中的谓语没有助动词或情态动词,则需添加助动词do, does或did,并将其置于主语之前。
英语句子的倒装一是由于语法结构的需要而进行的倒装,二是由于修辞的需要而进行的倒装。
前一种情况,倒装是必须的,否则就会出现语法错误;后一种情况,倒装是选择性的,倒装与否只会产生表达效果上的差异。
一、 表示强调:
倒装句最突出、最常见的修辞效果就是强调,其表现形式如下:
1.only +状语或状语从句置于句首,句子用部分倒装。
例子:
Only in this way can you solve this problem.
只有用这种方法,你才可以解决这个问题。
Only after he had spoken out the word did he realize he had made a big mistake.
只有当他已经说出那个字后才意识到自己犯了个大错误。
2. hardly,in no way,little,scarcely,seldom,never,no more, no longer,not, not only, no sooner, not only … (but also),not until… 等具有否定意义的词或词组位于句首,句子用部分倒装。
例子:
No sooner had I got home than it began to rain.
我刚到家就下起了雨。
Seldom do I go to work by bus.
我很少乘公共汽车上班。
她还没来得及坐下来,就听见有人敲门。
Not until twelve o'clock did he go to bed last night .
3. so / such...that结构中的so或such位于句首可以构成部分倒装句,表示强调so /such和that之间的部分。
例子:
So unreasonable1 was his price that everybody startled.
他的要价太离谱,令每个人都瞠目结舌。
To such length did she go in rehearsal2 that the two actors walked out.
她的彩排进行得那么长,以致于那两个演员都走出去了。
以上各例都用倒装语序突出了句首成分,其语气较自然语序强烈,因而具有极佳的修辞效果。
二、 承上启下
1.为了避免句子部分内容不必要的重复,常用"so+be动词(助动词、情态动词)+主语"或"neither/nor + be动词(助动词、情态动词)+主语"的倒装句式。
其中第一个句式表示"与前面所述的肯定情况相同",第二个句式表示"与前面所述的否定情况相同"。
例子:
A:His brother is a college student; B:so is mine.(nor is mine .)
A:他弟弟是大学生,B:我弟弟也是。(我弟弟也不是。)
A:He used to have his further study abroad; B:so did I.(neither did I.)
A:他曾去国外深造过。B:我也去过。(我也没有。)
A:One of my friends can speak three foreign languages; B:so can his wife.(neither can his wife .)
A:我的一个朋友会说三门外国语。B:他的妻子也会。(他的妻子也不会。)
2.倒装可把前一句说到的人或物,或与前一句有联系的人或物在下一句紧接着先说出来,从而使前后两句在意思上的关系更加清楚,衔接更加紧密,起到承上启下的作用。
例子:
They broke into her uncle's bedroom and found the man lying on the floor, dead. Around his head was a brown snake.
他们破门进入她叔叔的卧室,发现他躺在地板上死了。一条棕褐色的蛇缠在他头上。
We really should not resent being called paupers3. Paupers we are, and paupers we shall remain.
我们确实不应因为被称作穷光蛋而愤愤不平。我们的确是穷光蛋,而且还会继续是穷光蛋。
三、 制造悬念,渲染气氛
在新闻或文学创作中,有时为了内容的需要,或是为了强调,作者常常运用倒装来制造悬念,渲染气氛。
如朗费罗(Longfellow)《雪花》中的一节:
Out of the bosom4 of the Air,
Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest-fields forsaken5,
Silent, and soft, and slow,
Descends6 the snow.
在这一节诗里,诗人就富有创意地运用了倒装。在前五行中,诗人堆砌了七个状语,状语连续出现而主语和谓语却迟迟未露,造成一种悬念效应。全节读罢,读者才对诗歌的主题恍然大悟,因而收到了不同凡响的艺术效果。
四、 平衡结构
英语修辞的一个重要原则是尾重原则,即把句子最复杂的成分放在句尾以保持句子平衡。在语言使用中为了避免产生头重脚轻、结构不平衡的句子,我们常采用倒装语序。
1. 以作状语的介词短语开头:当主语较长或主语所带修饰语较长时,为了使句子平衡,常将状语置于句首,句子用完全倒装语序。
例子:
A.To the coal mine came a com-pany of PLA soldiers with orders from the headquarters to rescue the trapped miners.
B. A company of PLA soldiers came to the coal mine with orders from the headquarters to rescue the trapped miners.
一个连队的解放军战士来到了那座煤矿,奉司令部之命解救受困的矿工。
A. On the ground lay some air conditioners, which are to be shipped to some other cities.
B. Some air conditioners lay on the ground, which are to be shipped to some other cities.
地上放着一些空调,等着用船运到其他城市去。
从例句中可看出, 采用倒装语序的A句结构平衡稳妥,读起来自然流畅,而采用自然语序的B句结构零乱, 读起来也别扭。因而,在主语较长时就应采用倒装语序以取得理想的表达效果。
2. 以表语开头的句子:有时为了把较长的主语放在后面,须将表语和谓语都提到主语前。
例子:
Such would be our home in the future.
我们将来的家就是这个样子。
3. 以副词here , there开头的句子,也采用完全倒装来保持句子平衡。
例子:
Here is the letter you have been looking forward to.
你盼望已久的信在这儿。
五、 使描写生动
有时为了使叙述或描绘更加生动形象,增加语言效果,可将表示方向的副词(如:down, up, out, in, off, on, away等)或拟声词(bang, crack等)置于句首,句子采用全部倒装的语序(主语为人称代词的句子除外)。
例子:
Up went the rocket into the air.
嗖地一声火箭就飞上天了。
Down jumped the criminal from the third floor when the policeman pointed7 his pistol at him.
当警察把手枪瞄准那个罪犯时,嘭地一下他就从三楼跳了下去。
Boom went the cannon8!
轰隆一声大炮开火了!
Bang came another shot!
砰!又是一声枪响!
以上句子简洁明快 ,生动逼真地描述了有关动作 ,令我们一览此类倒装的风采。但这种倒装句的修辞功能在语段中可以体现得更为清楚。
"Stop thief! Stop thief!" There is a magic cry in the sound. The tradesman leaves his counter, ... Away they run, pell-mell, helter-skelter, yelling-screaming, ...
"Stop thief ! Stop thief !" The cry is taking by a hundred voices, ... Away they fly, splashing through the mud, up go the window, out run the people. ( Dickens )
作者在第一段和第二段中分别用副词away, up和out位于句首引出四个倒装句Away they run , Away they fly, up go the window , out run the people。从而制造出一种紧张、急促的气氛 ,生动地刻画了一个紧张、混乱的捉贼场面。
倒装是英语中一个重要的修辞手段。倒装句的使用丰富了我们的语言表达,了解并掌握倒装句各种句式的用法 , 不仅会提高我们对英语语言的欣赏能力 , 对英语表达能力的提高也将大有裨益。因此,写作中适当用一些倒装句式定会使文章表达更生动、

1 倒装句之全部倒装
全部倒装是只将句子中的谓语动词全部置于主语之前。此结构通常只用与一般现在时和 一般过去时。常见的结构有:

2) 表示运动方向的副词或地点状语置于句首,谓语表示运动的动词。

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完全倒装。
Here he comes.    Away they went.
2 倒装句之部分倒装
部分倒装是指将谓语的一部分如助动词或情态倒装至主语之前。如果句中的谓语没有助动词或情态动词,则需添加助动词do, does或did,并将其置于主语之前。
1) 句首为否定或半否定的词语,如no, not, never, seldom, little, hardly, at no time, in no way, not until… 等。
Never have I seen such a performance.
Nowhere will you find the answer to this question.

3 以否定词开头作部分倒装

Hardly had she gone out when a student came to visit her.
No sooner had she gone out than a student came to visit her.
注意:只有当Not only… but also连接两个分句时,才在第一个分句用倒装结构。如果置于句首的Not only… but also仅连接两个并列词语,不可用倒装结构。
Not only you but also I am fond of music.

4 so, neither, nor作部分倒装
表示"也"、"也不" 的句子要部分倒装。    
Tom can speak French. So can Jack11.
If you won't go, neither will I.
 注意: 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"。

---It's raining hard.   ---So it is.

5 only在句首要倒装的情况
Only in this way, can you learn English well.
Only after being asked three times did he come to the meeting.
如果句子为主从复合句,则主句倒装,从句不倒装
Only when he is seriously ill, does he ever stay in bed.
 

6 as, though 引导的倒装句
as / though引导的让步从句必须将表语或状语提前 (形容词, 副词, 分词, 实义动词提前)。
注意:
1) 句首名词不能带任何冠词。
2) 句首是实义动词, 其他助动词放在主语后。如果实义动词有宾语和状语,  随实义动词一起放在主语之前。
Try hard as he will, he never seems able to do the work satisfactorily.
注意:
让步状语从句中,有though,although时,后面的主句不能有but,但是 though 和yet可连用。
 

7 其他部分倒装
1)  so… that 句型中的so 位于句首时,需倒装。
So frightened was he that he did not dare to move an inch.
2) 在某些表示祝愿的句型中:
May you all be happy.
