英语六级倒装语法句式解析——不是“装倒”,是把强调的部分往前甩
倒装句在六级阅读、翻译、写作中频繁出现,但很多考生看到倒装就懵——主语和谓语换了位置,就读不懂了。其实,倒装的目的只有一个:为了强调某个词或某种逻辑关系。你把正常语序恢复过来,意思一点都不变。
下面把六级最常考的倒装结构分成四类,每类给一个“还原公式”,并说明在阅读中怎么识别、在写作中怎么用。
一、否定词开头的倒装——考点最密集的一类
当句首出现否定或半否定词时,后面主句的主谓必须倒装。这是六级阅读和完形填空的最高频考点。
结构公式:否定词 + 助动词/情态动词/be动词 + 主语 + 谓语动词 + 其他
常考否定词列表:
- Never, Seldom, Rarely, Little
- Hardly...when, No sooner...than
- Not only...but also, Not until
- Under no circumstances, In no way, On no account
- Nowhere
阅读中的还原:把否定词放回原位,去掉助动词,主语和谓语换回来。
> 原文:Never have I seen such a remarkable performance.
> 还原:I have never seen such a remarkable performance.
> 原文:Not only did the company increase profits, but it also expanded its market share.
> 还原:The company not only increased profits but also expanded its market share.
真题陷阱:注意“Hardly...when”结构中,前句倒装,后句不倒装;“No sooner...than”同理。例如:Hardly had I arrived at the station when the train left. → 翻译:我刚到车站,火车就开了。
写作中的运用:在六级作文中,用1-2个否定词倒装句式可以明显提升语言分。例如:“Not only does online learning offer flexibility, but it also provides access to global resources.”
二、Only开头的倒装——强调唯一条件
“Only + 状语(短语或从句)”放在句首时,主句部分倒装。
结构公式:Only + 时间/方式/条件状语 + 助动词 + 主语 + 谓语动词
阅读中的还原:把Only和后面的状语挪回句中正常位置,去掉助动词,恢复主谓语序。
> 原文:Only by working hard can you achieve success.
> 还原:You can achieve success only by working hard.
> 原文:Only when the war ended did the economy begin to recover.
> 还原:The economy began to recover only when the war ended.
真题注意:如果Only后面跟的是主语(即“Only + 主语”),不倒装。例如:Only the teacher can answer this question.(正常语序)
写作运用:用于强调某个必要条件。例:“Only when we recognize the seriousness of the problem can we take effective action.”
三、So / Such...that 引导的结果倒装——强调程度
当“So + 形容词/副词”或“Such + 名词”放在句首时,主句倒装,表示“如此……以至于”。
结构公式:So + adj./adv. + 助动词 + 主语 + 谓语 + that从句
阅读中的还原:先把So/Such和后面的成分放回句中,然后恢复主语和谓语顺序。
> 原文:So fast did he run that no one could catch him.
> 还原:He ran so fast that no one could catch him.
> 原文:Such was the force of the explosion that all windows shattered.
> 还原:The force of the explosion was such that all windows shattered.
写作运用:在描述影响或程度时使用,比用very更有力。例:“So profound has been the impact of the Internet that it has reshaped every aspect of our daily lives.”
四、方位/地点副词开头的倒装——描述场景
为了强调地点或营造画面感,把“Here, There, Out, In, Up, Down, Away, Off”等方位词放在句首,主谓倒装(主语是名词时倒装,主语是代词时不倒装)。
阅读中的还原:把方位词放回原处,主谓调回顺序。
> 原文:Down came the hammer, splitting the stone.
> 还原:The hammer came down, splitting the stone.
> 原文:In the middle of the room stood a large wooden table.
> 还原:A large wooden table stood in the middle of the room.
注意:主语是代词时,不倒装。例如:Here it comes.(正确,不说“Here comes it”)
写作运用:在记叙文或场景描写中用一两次,增加画面感。例:“On the hill stood an ancient castle, overlooking the whole valley.”
附:六级倒装句考场识别卡
| 倒装类型 | 句首标志词 | 还原方法 | 典型考题出现位置 |
|---------|-----------|---------|----------------|
| 否定词倒装 | Never, Not only, Hardly, Little | 否定词挪回原位,去掉助动词 | 仔细阅读(理解作者强调的态度) |
| Only倒装 | Only + 状语 | Only+状语挪回句尾,去掉助动词 | 完形填空、翻译(条件句) |
| So/Such倒装 | So+adj., Such+名词 | So/Such挪回句中,恢复语序 | 翻译、写作(结果句型) |
| 方位倒装 | Here, There, Out, In, Up, Down | 方位词后置 | 长难句分析、写作 |
倒装句看起来吓人,但你只要记住:倒装 = 强调 + 恢复语序就能看懂。阅读中遇到倒装,先用“还原法”改成正常语序再理解;写作中用好“Not only”“Only”“So...that”三类倒装,每篇文章用上1-2处,语言档次就能拉开。练5个真题长难句,拆一遍,倒装就不再是障碍。
