倒装： 英语的一般语序为：主语 + 谓语动词 + 宾语 + 。有时为了语法上或修辞上的需要而改变这种语序，如将谓语动词放到主语的前面，就称为倒装。因语法需要的倒装称为语法倒装，例如英语中的疑问句多采用倒装形式，如Are you a doctor or an engineer? 因修辞需要，如为了强调、句子结构均衡或承上启下等目的倒装，称为修辞性倒装，例如On the top of the hill stands a pretty little house. 。 就应试而言，以下倒装现象应给予特别注意： 1) not, not until, never, no, no sooner, seldom, hardly, scarcely, little, few 等 否定词开头的句子，比较： 例1 正常语序：I shall never forget the first days at college. 倒装语序：Never shall I forget the first days at college. 例2 正常语序：I did not have any idea what market economy is until recently. 倒装语序：Not until recently did I have any idea what market economy is. 以上两个句子采用倒装语序的主要目的是为了强调。 在这一节中，要特别注意以下三个倒装句型： not until ，见以上例2 no sooner than，例如： No sooner had she finished reading the poem than the students began to ask her questions. |
