特殊句式
英语特殊句式大致包括倒装,感叹句,there be句型和反义疑问句三大类。倒装句分为部分倒装及全部倒装。
倒装句即将主语与助动词倒置,其结构与一般疑问句大致相同。英语中构成部分倒装的主要情形有:
部分倒装
含否定意义的词(如never, hardly, seldom, little, few, not until, not, not only, no sooner, no longer, nowhere, by no means等)置于句首时,其后用部分倒装。如:
Hardly had she begun speaking when there was a knock on the door. 她刚开始说话就听到了敲门声。
Little do we know his life. 我们对他的生活了解得很少。
By no means should you tell him about it. 你绝不要告诉他这事。
2. only加状语(副词/介词短语/从句)放在句首时,其后用部分倒装。如: Only in this way can you do it well. 只有这样你才能做好。
Only when he returned home did he realize what had happened. 当他回到家里时他才知道出了什么事。
3. so (neither, nor)表示前面所说的情况也适合于后者时,用“so (neither, nor) + 助动词 + 主语”这样的倒装句式。如:
He can sing English songs and so can I. 他会唱英语歌,我也会。He didn't see the film, and neither did I. 他没有看这部电影,我也没有看。 She is very beautiful and so was her mother when she was young. 她很漂亮,她妈妈年轻时也很漂亮。
4. 当虚拟条件句含有were, should, had时,可省略if, 将were,should, had置干句首。如:
Were I Tom(= If I were Tom), I would refuse. 如果我是汤姆,我就会拒绝。 Had I realized that(= If I had realized that), I would have done something. 我要是明白了这一点,我可能会采取某种行动。
5. so... that结构中,将SO + adj. (adv. )置于句首时,其后要用倒装语序。如:
So cold was the weather that we had to stay at home. 天气太冷,我们只好待在家里。
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。
完全倒装
即将谓语移到主语前。英语中构成完全倒装的情形主要有:
1. 以here, there, now, then, out, in, up, down, off, away等副词开头的句子,且句子主语是名词时,句子用完全倒装。如:Here comes the bus. 公共汽车来了。
Now comes your turn. 现在该你了。
Then came a new difficulty. 然后又产生了一个新的困难。(1).肯定的祈使句
Close the door. 关上门
Be quiet, please! 请安静!
(2)有时为了加强语气,可以在动词之前加上do,表示“务必,一定”
Do come on time.一定要按时来
Do look out! 一下要小心!
感叹句
感叹句是用为表达人的特殊情感的句子,可以表达人的喜、怒、哀、乐等感情色彩。感叹句常由what或how引导,句末常用感叹号。
What引导的感叹句
what+ a(n)+形容词+可数名词的单数(+其他)!
What a beautiful girl she is! 她是一个多么漂亮的女孩呀!
what+形容词+可数名词复数(+其他)
what important jobs they have done! 他们做了多么重要的工作呀!
what+形容词+不可数名字(+其他)
what fine weather it is! 多好的天气呀!
How引导的感叹句
(1)how+形容词或副词(+其他)
How interesting the dog is ! 多么有趣的狗呀!
(2)how+形容词+a(an)+可数名词单数(+其他)!
How useful a subject they are learning! 他们正在学的科目多么有用呀!
how+ 主语+谓语(+其他)
How time flies! 时间过得真快呀!
3. 有时一个陈述句、疑问句、祈使句,甚至一个词或词组,都可以成为感叹句来表示强烈的感情,这时句末用感叹号。
They are so hardworking! 他们真勤劳!
Have you heard of such a thing! 你听说过这样的事吗?
Stop talking! 不要说了!
Wonderful! 好极了!
Good idea! 好主意!
