倒装句

倒装句第一步：四级精彩套句展示我们将通过三个常考的四级写作句型揭示倒装句的奥妙。

1. So + 形容词 + be + 主词 + that + 句子（如此…以至于…）

「例」So precious is time that we can not afford to waste it. 时间是如此珍贵，我们经不起浪费它。

这是四级考试作文部分经常用到的一个套句，也是我们在第一部分要学习的第一种句型——倒装句。

我们注意到这个句子的谓语动词“be”放到的了主语的前面，这种句子成分顺序和标准句型不一致的句型就是倒装句。

倒装（The Inversion），一般来说是一种较正式的句型，能考查考生的英文写作水平。在文章的开头用倒装句你的文章会因此而添色不少，也是写应试作文获取高分的亮点之一，所以我们一定要学会正确地使用它，恰当地用来阐述自己的观点。

2. adj. + as + Subject（主词）+ be， S. + V. + …（虽然…）

「例」Rich as our country is， our quality of life is by no means satisfactory.虽然我们的国家富有，我们的生活品质却不是令人满意的。

v by no means = in no way = on no account一点也不3. On no account can we + V. + …（我们绝对不能…）

「例」On no account can we ignore the value of knowledge.我们绝对不能忽略知识的价值。

第二步：语法精讲1. 简介倒装有两种。将主语和谓语完全颠倒过来，叫做完全倒装（complete inversion）。

「例」Then began a bitter war between the two countries. 于是两国之间开始了恶战。

只将助动词（包括情态动词）移至主语之前，叫做部分倒装（partial inversion）。

At no time can the entrance be left unguarded. 入口需要随时有人把守。

2. 四级必考句型（1） Among the disadvantages that may bring to are that + S. + V.， making + n. + adj.「分析」有时候，为了强调“介词 + 宾语”结构，我们把它置于句首，此时句子需要全部倒装，在本句中我们把谓语动词“are”放在了主语结构“that…”的前面。

Among the disadvantages that cars may bring to our lives are that we could spend more time in traffic jams and we would likely spend more money on operation and maintenance fees， making our schedules tighter and our pockets lighter！

（2） With these steps， we can change our society into one out of which comes the possibility that「分析」句中的定语从句“out of which comes the possibility…”是完全倒装句。

With these steps， we can change our society into one out of which comes the possibility that natural resources will be fully cherished.（3） There is a real possibility that, should there be a .

「分析」Should there be a…是省略if并部分倒装的将来时虚拟条件句。还原后为：If there should be a…

There is a real possibility that we can solve this problem completely， should there be cooperation among all parties involved.（4） never， hardly， seldom， rarely， not， until…，scarcely， in no case（不管怎样也不），in no way（不管怎么也不），by no means（决不），on no account（不论什么原因也不），at no time（无论什么时候也不）等否定词放在句首时，句子要倒装。

By no means shall we cease to protect our environment.（5） It was very late. Exhausted though she was， there was no hope of her being able to fall asleep.「分析」从属连词as和though也可以用于让步状语从句中。这种从句必须以形容词（或形容词化的分词）、名词或动词原形开头，主句必须位于从句之后。

1） Small as a bicycle is， it can bring a lot of convenience to our lives. 2） Foolish though he looks， he always seems to make the wisest proposals. （他看起来样子傻傻的，可似乎总是能提出最聪明的建议。）

3） Try as you may， you will never succeed. （你尽管可以试，但决不会成功）。

生活中没有什么可怕的东西，只有需要理解的东西。（居里夫人）

「点评」这句话可用于提出问题的解决方法，比如说关于“global shortage of fresh water”，在提到如何应对时，不妨说：Famous scientist Marie Curie once said， “Nothing in life is to be feared； it is only to be understood.” In the same ways， once we understand the causes of this phenomenon， we can confidently believe that we will solve the problem with the following means. 2. 热情无限式A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm.（C. M. Schwab）

只要有无限的热情，一个人几乎可以在任何事情上取得成功。（施瓦布）

「点评」用法和上句类似。

3. 理想远大式The important thing in life is to have a great aim， and also the determination to attain it. （Goethe）

人生重要的在于确立一个伟大的目标，并有决心使其实现。（歌德）

「点评」我们可以从歌德的话语里面，学到一个很好的句型：The important thing is to…， 不妨进一步学一个四级里面另两个更受欢迎的句型：（1） Nothing is + （adj）。er than to + V. + …

Nothing is + more + 形容词 + than to + V. + …

「例」Nothing is more important than to receive education. 没有比接受教育更重要的事。

（2） What a + adj. + n. + S. + V.！= How + adj. + a + n. + V.！（多么…！）
