2014考研英語：倒裝句復習要點_跨考網(wǎng)

　　倒裝(inversion)是一種語法手段，用以表示一定句子結構的需要和強調某一句子成分的需要。英語的最基本的結構是主、謂結構，倒裝就是將這種比較固定的詞序加以顛倒。

　　倒裝有兩種。將主語和謂語完全顛倒過來，叫做完全倒裝(complete inversion)。如Then began a bitter war between the two countries。于是兩國之間開始了惡戰(zhàn)。

　　只將助動詞(包括情態(tài)動詞)移至主語之前，叫做部分倒裝(partial inversion)。如At no time was the entrance left unguarded。入口無時無人把守。

　　英語句子的倒裝一是由于語法結構的需要而進行的倒裝，二是由于修辭的需要而進行的倒裝。前一種情況，倒裝是必須的，否則就會出現(xiàn)語法錯誤，后一種情況，倒裝是選擇性的，倒裝與否只會產(chǎn)生表達效果上的差異。

　　例1Among the advantages that future biochips, or “l(fā)iving computers”， would have over conventional semiconductor chips are that they are smaller, they do not generate as much heat, and they allow for the parallel processing of information, making them faster than today’s semiconductor devices。

　　例2This is the world out of which grows the hope, for the first time in history, of a society where there will be freedom from want and freedom from fear。
