at glitters is gold. 不是闪光的东西都是金的。
7) Not on dry land.
[A] are all valleys
[B] valleys all are
[C] valleys are all
[D] all valleys are
4. 但当“not a和many a +名词”位于句首时,要用倒装语序
Not a word did he say at the meeting. 会上他一句话也没说。
Many a time has the manager emphasized this point. 经理多次强调这一点。
5. barely、hardly、scarcely和when、before连用,no sooner和than连用,它们位于句首时,为固定的倒装结构,表示一件事紧接着另一件事发生,相当于汉语的“一……就……”。但在时态上,主句一般用过去完成时而从句(when, before或than引导)用过去时。
但表示一般情况时,主句也可用现在完成时,从句用一般现在时
Scarcely has a foreigner set foot in the United States before they ask him what he thinks of the country. 外国人刚去美国,他们就会问他对该国有什么看法。
No sooner had I left the house than it began to rain. 我刚离开屋子天就下起雨来。
8) Scarcely had they settled themselves in their seats in the theatre the curtain went up. (81年考题)
[A] than [B] when [C] before [D] as soon as
上述句中,若barely, hardly, scarcely, no sooner用于句中,则不必倒装
I had no sooner left the house than it began to rain.
三、 介词短词+倒装结构
1. 以下列否定意义的短语为句首的句子应用倒装语序:under no circumstances, on no account,in no way, at no point, at no time, in no sense,这些短语都表示“绝不”。
On no account will my reference books be removed from the library. 绝不可能将参考书带出图书馆。
At no time shall a student cheat at his exam. 学生任何时候都不允许考试作弊。
9) In [A] no way passengers can [B] smoke in [C] the airconditioned [D] bus.
上述短语若用于句子中间,则不必用倒装。
2. 下面-些倒装句也应引起考生足够的重视
An old house stood at the side of the hill. →At the side of the hill stood an old house.(本句是为了保持句子平衡,避免主语过长。)
The measure our company took to prevent loss was absurd. →Absurd was the measure our company took
