09年成考高起点英语语法归纳与练习八

　　3)有时主语较长，为了使句子平衡，避免头重脚轻，主谓要全部倒装。这种情况多出现在主系表结构中。如： 　　Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life.

　　In between these two extremes are those people who agree with the jury system as a whole， but feel that some changes need to be implemented to improve its effectiveness.

　　二。 采用部分倒装情况

　　部分倒装一般是把句子谓语的一部分(主要是助动词或系动词)放到句子主语前，构成部分倒装，而全部倒装则把句子的谓语(包括实义动词)都放在主语前

　　1.下列否定词及含有否定意义的词组修饰状语时，若置于句首，句子的主谓要部分倒装，：

　　never， no， neither， not only， hardly， scarcely， little， seldom， rarely， not until， nowhere， at no time， on no account， in no respect， in no sense， by no means， in vain， still less.如：

　　Not only is its direct attack on their discipline， it bypasses the essence of what sociologists focus on.

　　Under no circumstances should we do anything that will benefit ourselves but harm the interests of the state.

　　(1985年考研题)

　　注：1)如果谓语动词是单个实义动词，倒装时需根据人称和时态加助动词do.如：

　　Little did we expect that he would fulfill his task so rapidly.
