这类倒装主要见于以下两种情形:
1. 当副词so后接形容词或副词位于句首时,其后一般要用部分倒装。如:
So cold was the weather that we had to stay at home. 天气太冷,我们只好呆在家里。
So fast does light travel that we can hardly imagine its speed. 光速很快,我们几乎没法想象它的速度。
So sudden was the attack that we had no time to escape. 袭击来得非常突然,我们来不及逃跑。
2. 当要表示前面提出的某一肯定的情况也同样适合于后者,通常就要用“So+助动词+主语”这种倒装结构。如:
Times have changed and so have I .
时代变了,我也变了。
‘I prefer the first version.’ ‘ So do we .’
“我喜欢第一稿。”“我们也是。”
They had a wonderful time and so did I
他们玩得很开心,我也一样。
You are young and so am I. 你年轻,我也年轻。
She likes music and so do I. 她喜欢音乐,我也喜欢。
If he can do it, so can I. 要是他能做此事,我也能。
【典型考题】
1. So difficult _________ it to work out the problem that I decided to ask Tom for advice.
A. I did find B. did I find C. I have found D. have I found
2. _________ about wild plants that they decided to make a trip to Madagascar for further research.
A. so curious the couple was B. So curious were the couple
C. How curious the couple were D. The couple was such curious
3. —It’s burning hot today, isn’t it?—Yes. _________ yesterday.
A. So was it B. So it was C. So it is D. So is it
特别说明:
(1) 若前面提出某一否定的情况,要表示后者也属于同样的否定情况,则应将其中的so改为neither或nor。如果用完整的句子表示否定时用either;如:
You aren’t young and neither am I. 你不年轻,我也不年轻。
She hasn’t read it and nor have I. 她没有读它,我也没有读。
I don”t like carrots.
我不喜欢胡萝卜.
Neither do I.
我也不喜欢.
‘I'm not hungry.’ ‘ Neither am I / I'm not very hungry either .’
——我不饿。
——我也不饿。/我也不饿。
'I'm afraid I've never been there.' —'Well, of course, I haven't myself either. '
“恐怕我没去过那里。”——“嗯,那当然,我也没有去过。”
I don't like the film, and she doesn't, either.
我不喜欢这部电影,她也不喜欢。
请看考题:
Mary never does any reading in the evening, _________.
A. so does John B. John does too
C. John doesn’t too D. nor does John
(2) 注意“So+助动词+主语”与表示强调或同意的“So+主语+助动词”的区别。so +主语+系动词(助动词或情态动词)此句型的主语与前一句的主语相同,因而主谓不倒装.
这种句型表示说话者对前句所提到的情况或事实表示赞同,其中so作“不错;确实如此”解.如:
“It was cold yesterday.” “So it was.” “昨天很冷。”“的确很冷。”
-He studies hard.
他学习很努力.
-So he does.
确实如此.
请看考题:
1. — Maggie had a wonderful time at the party. —_________, and so did I.
A. So she hadB. So had she C. So she did D. So did she
2.—Father, you promised! —Well, _________. But it was you who didn’t keep your word first.
A. so was I B. so did I C. so I was D. so I did
(3). 主语+do+so
在此句型中,so和动词do连用,可用来替代上文出现过的动宾和动状结构,以避免重复.如:
-Have you handed in your homework?
你的作业交了没有?
-I did so yesterday.(did so = handed in my homework.)(动宾结构)我的作业交了.
-Jack can jump over the fence.
杰克能跳过这个栅栏.
-I”m not sure whether David can do so.(do so = jump over the fence.)(动状结构)大卫能不能,我没把握.。
(答案分别为BBADCD)
