托福阅读常见的倒装句型
主语较长,为使句子平衡或强调,倒装表语或状语
这种倒装句通常是介词短语、形容词(短语)和分词(短语)位于句首。如:
By his sides is his wife who is very elegant and beautiful.(在他旁边是他美丽优雅的妻子)
Green are the clouds in the sky and faded are leaves on the ground.(碧云天,黄叶地)
Sitting in the class are students who come from all across the China.(坐在教室里的学生来自中国各地)
真题例句:Missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate, or transitional, between land mammals and cetaceans.(OG The Origins of Cetaceans)
解析:该句的主语是“fossils clearly intermediate, or transitional, between land mammals and cetaceans.”其中“intermediate, or transitional, between land mammals and cetaceans”(哺乳动物和海洋鲸鱼之间过渡性)是“fossils”的定语。由于该句主语过长,为了使句子平衡,把表语“Missing until recently”置于句首引起倒装句。该句变成正常语序为:“Fossils clearly intermediate, or transitional, between land mammals and cetaceans were missing until recently.”意思为“哺乳动物和海洋鲸鱼之间过渡性的化石现在找到了。”
如果虚拟条件句的谓语部分含有were, had, 或should, 可以把他们放到句首,省略连词if,变成倒装句。
真题例句:In contrast, should another ice age occur, sea level would drop drastically.(TPO15-3 Glacier Formation)
解析:对于这种倒装句的处理是:步,把if还原;第二部,理解句子。因此if还原之后该句变成:“In contrast, if another ice age should occur, sea level would drop drastically.”由if引导的从句“should occur”的使用可知,该句是对将来的虚拟。意思为:对比之下,如果再次发生冰川世纪,海平面将会大大下降。
