Important sentences

1. What do you imagine will be your future occupation?

What do you think would make the first day at work “unforgettable”?

2. Never will Zhou Yang forget his first assignment at the office of a popular English newspaper.

Never放在句首時，主句要部分倒裝，即把be 動詞、助動詞或情態動詞提到主語前。在英語中，如果否定詞放在句首，都需要部分倒裝。常見的否定詞和短語有：no, not, never, little, few, hardly, seldom, by no means, in no case 等。

Seldom does he go to the bookstore.

By no means will you harvest without hare work.

2. You’ll find your colleagues very eager to assist you, so you may be able to concentrate on photography later if you’re interested.

在此find后接復合賓語，即“find+sb/sth+adj./過去分詞/動詞-ing形式+to do sth”. 如：

I found the house very comfortable to live in.

=I found it very comfortable to live in the house.

We all found the problem very difficult to deal with.

3. Not only am I interested in photography, but I took an amateur course at university to update my skills.

Not only…but (also)…作為并列連詞，當連結兩個主語時，主謂遵循就近原則。連結兩個句子時，not only 后面的句子要部分倒裝。如：

Not only you but also he likes classical music.

Not only does Lucy sing well, she also dances very beautifully.

4. Only if you ask many different questions will you acquire all the information you need to know.

If引導的是條件狀語從句，only 加上狀語放在句首時，需要部分倒裝。注意：只有only加狀語時才倒裝，加其他成分不倒裝。如：

Only in this way can you get home early.

Only the little boy can play the piano.

5. Have you ever had a case where someone accused your journalists of getting the wrong end of the stick?

Where 引導的是定語從句。當先行詞是case, situation, stage, position 等表示情況、情形、階段時，關系詞需要用where 或 in which.

You may get into a situation where it is very hard to make a decision.

Grammar ----inversion倒裝

一. 基本概念：倒裝是把句子的謂語動詞或助動詞提到主語前。倒裝分全部倒裝和部分倒裝。

二. 基本用法：

1. 全部倒裝，即整個謂語動詞放在主語之前。如：

Here comes the twins.

In front of the house stands a beautiful girl.

2. 部分倒裝，即把be 動詞、助動詞或情態動詞提到主語前。如：

Never in my life have I seen such beautiful scenery.

Only in this way can you finish such a tough task.

三. 常見考點：

1. 全部倒裝：

1） there be 句型

There were three pigs in the back yard.

2)地點時間的副詞開頭的句子里，如：there, here, then, now, next等開頭的倒裝句，其謂語動詞通常是be, come , go, follow等，以示強調，且主語為名詞。如：

There goes the bell.

Now comes your turn.

若主語為人稱代詞時，主語和謂語的語序不變。

Here it is. There he comes.

3)以方位副詞開始的倒裝句，如把ahead, away, back, down, in, off, out, up等放在句首，并且其謂語動詞常為come, go, fly, rush 等表示移動的動詞。倒裝會使敘述顯得更加生動。如： Ahead walked the tiger.

Hearing the dog barking fiercely, away fled the thief.

4)當一個句子沒有賓語或主語較長，常可將作狀語的介詞短語放在句首。如：

On the ground lay a small boy with a knife in his hand.

At the foot of the mountain lies a village.

5)表示祝愿的句子。如：

Long live the People’s Republic of China.

6）現在分詞、過去分詞、形容詞、副詞等有時可移到句首，來對動作或狀態加以強調。如： Lying on the floor was a wounded peasant boy.

Seated on the grass are a group of young students.

Higher are the temples built in ancient China.

2. 部分倒裝

1） so, neither, nor 引起的句子，表示前面的情況也適用于另一人或物。如：

He is a good student. So is she.

Carlos doesn’t like swimming. Neither/ Nor do I.

2)否定詞放在句首，如never, not, no seldom, hardly, rarely, little, nowhere, by no means, in no way, at no time 等。如：

In no way will you know where my home is.

Seldom does he go to the park on weekdays.

3)由not only…but (also)…引導的并列句，not only后的句子要倒裝。如：

Not only does he love music, but his father also loves it very much.

4)由no sooner…than, hardly/ scarcely …when 等引導的句子，主句倒裝，從句不倒裝。另外主句一般與過去完成時連用。如：

Hardly had he gone into the classroom when the bell rang.

5)由not until, so…that, such …that 等引導的句子，主句倒裝，從句不倒裝。如：

Not until it was dark did he arrive home.

So sudden was the attack that he had no time to escape.

6) “ only+狀語 ”放在句首。如：

Only when he saw the paper did he realize he was adopted.

7)if 引導的虛擬語氣條件句有were, had或should 時，if 可以省略，這三個詞提到主語前。如：

Were I you, I would have come here early.

Had he known the truth, he would have told you.

8) 由從屬連詞as/though引導的讓步狀語從句，要用倒裝語序，結構為：形容詞/名詞/副詞/動詞原型+as/though+主語 +謂語。

Amazing as/though it may seem, Wednesday night was a quiet night.

Hard as/though he worked, he couldn’t earn enough even to support himself.

Good student as/though he is, he sometimes makes mistakes.
