六、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。
七、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.
3) 在虚拟语气条件句中从句谓语动词有 were, had, should 等词,可将 if 省略,把 were, had, should 移到主语之前,采取部分倒装。
Were I you, I would try it again.
典型例题:
1)Not until the early years of the 19th century___ what heat is
A. man did know B. man knew C. didn't man know D. did man know
答案为 D. 否定词 Not 在句首,要求用部分倒装的句子结构。
2)Not until I began to work ___ how much time I had wasted.
A. didn't I realize B. did I realize C. I didn't realize D. I realize
答案为 B 。
3) Do you know Tom bought a new car?
I don't know, ___.
A. nor don't I care B. nor do I care
C. I don't care neither D. I don't care also
解析:答案为 B. 句中的 nor 引出部分倒装结构,表示 " 也不 " 。由 so, neither, nor 引导的倒装句,表示前一情况的重复出现。其中, so 用于肯定句, 而 neither, nor 用在否定句中。
