倒裝句

Inversion

中頻

倒裝句是將正常的主詞+動詞語序改為動詞(或助動詞)+主詞的結構。英文中在特定情況下需要使用倒裝,包括否定副詞放句首、only 放句首、so/neither 表示相同情況等。

文法規則說明

1

【Negative Adverb Inversion】否定副詞或含有否定意味的詞組放在句首時,後面的主詞和動詞要倒裝(助動詞/be 動詞放在主詞前面)。常見的否定副詞:Never、Rarely、Seldom、Hardly、Scarcely、Not only、By no means、Under no circumstances、At no time、In no way 等。 公式:否定副詞 + 助動詞/be + S + V

2

【Only + Adverbial Inversion】當 Only + 副詞/副詞片語/副詞子句放在句首時,主要子句要倒裝。注意:Only 修飾主詞時不需要倒裝。常見形式:Only then、Only after、Only when、Only by、Only in this way 等。 公式:Only + 副詞(片語/子句) + 助動詞/be + S + V

3

【So / Neither Inversion】用 So + 助動詞/be + S 表示「某人也是如此」(肯定);用 Neither/Nor + 助動詞/be + S 表示「某人也不是如此」(否定)。注意助動詞要與前一句的動詞時態一致。 公式:So + 助動詞/be + S(肯定)/ Neither/Nor + 助動詞/be + S(否定)

4

【Place Adverb Inversion】表示地方或方向的副詞(如 here、there、up、down、away、off 等)放在句首時,若主詞是名詞,則主詞和動詞完全倒裝(動詞放在主詞前面)。但若主詞是代名詞,則不倒裝。 公式:地方副詞 + V + S(名詞)/ 地方副詞 + S(代名詞)+ V

5

【Hardly...when / No sooner...than】表示「一...就...」的句型:Hardly/Scarcely + had + S + V-pp + when/before + S + V-ed;No sooner + had + S + V-pp + than + S + V-ed。前半句用過去完成式,後半句用過去簡單式。倒裝只發生在前半句。 公式:Hardly had S V-pp when S V-ed / No sooner had S V-pp than S V-ed

常見錯誤

!

Never I have seen such a thing. (✗) → Never have I seen such a thing. (✓) 否定副詞 Never 放句首時,必須倒裝,將助動詞 have 移到主詞 I 前面。不可以維持原來的語序。

!

"I like coffee." "So I do." (✗) → "I like coffee." "So do I." (✓) So 表示「也是如此」時,語序為 So + 助動詞 + S。如果寫成 So I do,意思會變成「我的確如此」(強調語氣),而非「我也是」。

!

Only Tom can solve this problem. (倒裝為) Only Tom can solve this problem. (✗) → Only Tom can solve this problem. (不需要倒裝) (✓) 當 Only 修飾的是主詞(Tom)而非副詞時,不需要倒裝。只有 Only + 副詞/副詞片語/副詞子句放在句首時才需要倒裝。

學測應試技巧

💡

學測常考否定副詞(Never、Not only、Hardly)放句首的倒裝句。記住看到這些詞放句首就要倒裝。

💡

So do I / Neither do I 的用法是學測口語及文法題的常客,注意區分肯定用 So、否定用 Neither/Nor。

💡

Hardly...when... 和 No sooner...than... 的配對要記牢,前者搭 when,後者搭 than。

💡

倒裝句只是把助動詞提前,原來的動詞形式不變。例如 Never have I seen(原句 I have never seen)。
