为了帮助大家更好地备战2014年12月大学英语六级考试,编辑老师整理了这篇英语四级阅读长难句分析:倒装结构,希望考生认真阅读,在考场上灵活运用所学到的知识!

英语中有时为了强调突出某一句子成分,或当否定词出现在句首时,或是由于同上文衔接等的缘故,常常采用倒装的结构,即:把正常的主+谓+宾(表)+补+状的语序打乱,把应该在后面出现的成分提到前面去,如:谓语出现在主语前面,谓语、宾语出现在主语前面,或状语放在句首等。简单句中的倒装较容易辨认,但在长句中当同其他的句子结构混在一起时,倒装结构的辨认就有一定的困难,有时会误认为是其他的句子成分,如:分句独立结构,定语等,导致错判全句的主干,形成理解障碍。

Exercise

要点及参考译文

要点:介词短语位于句首表示强调,这是一个倒装句。

译文:在毒品或者药物这两样东西中她几乎什么都没有。

要点:此句为倒装句,正常语序应为:" The architecture of Manhattan,... is splendid."因为主语太长,为了保持句子平衡,所以用了倒装语序。

译文:市中心曼哈顿的建筑有百余幢摩天大楼,甚为雄伟壮观。

要点:此句为倒装句。因主语较长,并带有分词短语"followed..."作定语修饰"dinner",为了保持句子平衡,将表语提前到句首。

译文:在周日晚餐后,通常提供音乐演出,因此特别受欢迎。

Exercise
