倒裝句就是將正常的陳述語序加以變化,主要作用是強(qiáng)調(diào)被提前的部分。倒裝句可分為全部倒裝和部分倒裝兩種：
一?、全部倒裝?
將主語和謂語完全顛倒過來,謂語動詞提前至主語之前，叫做完全倒裝(Complete Inversion)。
如:In came a man with a white beard.?
? ? Out came his guest.
? ? On the hill stood a little cottage that contained heaps of hay.
? ? There lived an elderly lady whose husband died long ago.
二、部分倒裝
只將助動詞(包括情態(tài)動詞)移至主語之前,謂語動詞位置不變,叫做部分倒裝(Partial Inversion)。
如:Only once was John late to class.
? ? Neither could he see through your plan.
? ? So little did I know about him that I was easily taken in by his words.
? ? Doesn't her invitation appeal to you?
