大學英語四級倒裝句翻譯突破

　　第一步：四級精彩套句展示

　　我們將通過三個常考的四級寫作句型揭示倒裝句的奧妙。

　　1. So + 形容詞 + be + 主詞 + that + 句子***如此…以至於…***

　　【例】So precious is time that we can not afford to waste it. 時間是如此珍貴，我們經不起浪費它。

　　這是四級考試作文部分經常用到的一個套句，也是我們在第一部分要學習的第一種句型——倒裝句。

　　我們注意到這個句子的謂語動詞“be”放到的了主語的前面，這種句子成分順序和標準句型不一致的句型就是倒裝句。

　　倒裝***The Inversion***，一般來說是一種較正式的句型，能考查考生的英文寫作水平。在文章的開頭用倒裝句你的文章會因此而添色不少，也是寫應試作文獲取高分的亮點之一，所以我們一定要學會正確地使用它，恰當地用來闡述自己的觀點。

　　2. adj. + as + Subject***主詞***+ be, S. + V. + …***雖然…***

　　【例】Rich as our country is, our quality of life is by no means satisfactory.

　　雖然我們的國家富有，我們的生活品質卻不是令人滿意的。

　　v by no means = in no way = on no account一點也不

　　3. On no account can we + V. + …***我們絕對不能…***

　　【例】On no account can we ignore the value of knowledge.

　　我們絕對不能忽略知識的價值。

　　第二步：語法精講

　　1. 簡介

　　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***。

　　【例】Then began a bitter war between the two countries. 於是兩國之間開始了惡戰。

　　只將助動詞***包括情態動詞***移至主語之前，叫做部分倒裝***partial inversion***。

　　At no time can the entrance be left unguarded. ***需要隨時有人把守。

　　2. 四級必考句型

　　***1*** Among the disadvantages that may bring to are that + S. + V., making + n. + adj.

　　【分析】有時候，為了強調“介詞 + 賓語”結構，我們把它置於句首，此時句子需要全部倒裝，在本句中我們把謂語動詞“are”放在了主語結構“that…”的前面。

　　Among the disadvantages that cars may bring to our lives are that we could spend more time in traffic jams and we would likely spend more money on operation and maintenance fees, making our schedules tighter and our pockets lighter!

　　***2*** With these steps, we can change our society into one out of which comes the possibility that

　　【分析】句中的定語從句“out of which comes the possibility…”是完全倒裝句。

　　With these steps, we can change our society into one out of which comes the possibility that natural resources will be fully cherished.

　　***3*** There is a real possibility that , should there be a .

　　【分析】Should there be a…是省略if並部分倒裝的將來時虛擬條件句。還原後為：If there should be a…

　　There is a real possibility that we can solve this problem completely, should there be cooperation among all parties involved.

　　***4*** never, hardly, seldom, rarely, not, until…，scarcely, in no case***不管怎樣也不***，in no way***不管怎麼也不***，by no means***決不***，on no account***不論什麼原因也不***，at no time***無論什麼時候也不***等否定詞放在句首時，句子要倒裝。

　　By no means shall we cease to protect our environment.

　　***5*** It was very late. Exhausted though she was, there was no hope of her being able to fall asleep.

　　【分析】從屬連詞as和though也可以用於讓步狀語從句中。這種從句必須以形容詞***或形容詞化的分詞***、名詞或動詞原形開頭，主句必須位於從句之後。

　　1*** Small as a bicycle is, it can bring a lot of convenience to our lives.

　　2*** Foolish though he looks, he always seems to make the wisest proposals. ***他看起來樣子傻傻的，可似乎總是能提出最聰明的建議。***

　　3*** Try as you may, you will never succeed. ***你儘管可以試，但決不會成功***。
