should we do anything against the will of the people。2．在以“only＋状语”开头的句子中，主谓要倒装。这里only后面必须跟有它修饰的状语或状语从句，这是关键。否则就不倒装。例如：Only after the war was over was man able to realize the wickedness of the atomic bomb。只是在战争结束后人类才意识到原子弹的可恶。（注意：only 引导的状语从句不倒装，主句倒装。）Only then did I realize the importance of English。只在那时我才意识到英语的重要性。Only in this way can we improve ourselves。只有用这种方法我们才能不断提高自己。Only after you finish it can you leave。只有结束它以后，你才能离开。（主句倒装）注意：Only 如不在句首，或only 修饰的不是状语，则不倒装。如：The contract was signed only after bitter negotiations。只有在艰苦的谈判以后，合同才得以签署。（改成倒装：Only after bitter negotiations was the contract signed。）Only the senior staff are allowed to use this room。只许资深的职员使用这个房间。Only five passengers survived the accident。事故中只有五位旅客生存了下来。翻译练习（用倒装结构）：1）我今天早上才听到这个不幸的消息。→Only this morning did I hear the sad

agree with us。5）只有这样，你才能学好英语。→Only in this way can you learn English well。3．用于以表示处所、声音等意义的副词开头的句子。用表示运动的不及物动词（如go； e； rush； fly 等）作谓语时，为了表示生动，可将某些副词放在句首，谓语动词放在主语之前，形成倒装结构。例如：Away flew the birds。 鸟儿飞走了。Out went the children。 孩子们出去了。Down came the rain。 下起大雨来了。Bang went the firecracker。 爆竹砰的一声响了。The door burst open and in rushed a stranger。门突然开了，一个陌生人冲了进来。4．用倒装来避免头重脚轻，使句子显得平衡。这主要是因为主语过长或强调表语或状语。例如：At the center of the big room over there is a table that is made of wood which is imported from Brazil of South America。在那边那个大房子的中央有一张用从南美洲的巴西进口的木头做成的桌子。（正常语序：A table that is made of wood which is imported from Brazil of South America is at the center of the big room over there。 这句话主语和谓语间隔太长，不平衡。）Still wider will be the use of radar； which plays a very important role in our national defense。雷达在我们的国防事业中起着非常重要的作用，它的用处将会更广泛。（正常语序：The use of radar； which plays a very important role in our national defense； will be still wider。 主语和谓语间隔太长，不平衡。）Written in English on the blackboard were these words： “Merry Christmas！” 在黑板上用英语写着这么几个字：“圣诞快乐！”Present at the meeting were the school headmaster； the English teacher； and the students’ parents。 出席会议的有校长、英语教师和学生们的家长。Inside the pyramids are the burial rooms for the kings and queens and long passages to these rooms。 金字塔里面是国王和王后们的墓穴和通往墓穴的长通道。5．其他用法（1）倒装还可用在强调表语和宾语的句子中。把表语和宾语提到主语前。如：Such was Albert Einstein； a simple man of great achievements。爱因斯坦就是这样一个取得了伟大成就的单纯的人。Such was the story he told me。 这就是他给我讲的故事。Happy is he who devotes himself to the cause of munism。献身于共产主义事业的人是幸福的。Great have been our achievements since 1978。自从1978年以来我们取得的成就是伟大的。So careful is she in doing her job that she never makes mistakes。她工作如此认真，从来不犯错误。Involved in the problem are some teaching methods。牵涉在这个问题中的是某些教学方法。Written on the label is the model of the machine。写在标签上的是机器的型号。Very important in our lives is reading。 在我们生命中非常重要的是读书。Still greater contributions should we make to promoting the friendship。 为促进友谊我们应当做出更大的贡献。注意：如主语是代词，且无较长的修饰语时，即便表语提前也不倒装。如：Terribly hot it certainly was。 天确实是太热了。A very reliable person he is。 他是一个可靠的人。（2）某些表示祝愿的句子倒装。如：Long live the friendship among the Asian people and sportsmen！亚洲各族人民和运动员之间的友谊万岁！May you return safe and sound。 祝你平安归来！May you succeed。 祝你成功。May your country bee rich and strong。 祝你的祖国繁荣强大。（3）在以often； always； once； many a time； now and then； every other day； every two hours； thus （方式状语），so （程度状语），in the distance； in front of （地点状语）等开头的句子中，如果强调这些状语，就倒装；如果不想强调这些状语，就不倒装。如：Often did we warn them not to do it。 我们经常警告他们别做这事。Often had I intended to speak of it。 我曾经多次想谈及那件事情。Many a time has he helped me with my experiment。他不止一次帮我做实验。Thus was the Emperor deceived。 皇帝就这样受骗了。So busy is he that he has no time to spare。 他忙得抽不出一点儿时间。So fast does light travel that it is difficult for us to imagine its speed。 光的传播太快了，我们很难想象它的速度。In the distance was a tall tree。 远处有一棵大树。翻译练习（地点状语放在句首，倒装）：1）在那棵大树底下坐着一个老农民。Under the big tree was sitting an old farmer。2）教室的外面站着一个男孩。Outside the classroom stood a boy。3）农舍后面是一片稻田。Behind the farmhouse was a rice field。4）小山脚下有一个美丽的小湖。At the foot of the hill lies a beautiful lake。（4）在直接引语后注明引语是什么人所说的句子里，主语是名词时，常用倒装结构；主语是代词时，往往不用倒装结构。例如：“You all did well in the exam；” said the teacher。“你们大家考的都很好。”老师说。“How is your mother？” asked her friend。“你母亲近况如何？”她的朋友问道。“Let’s go；” suggested Mary。 “我们走吧。”玛丽建议说。“Nonsense！” shouted the man。 “胡说！”那个人喊道。“Whom are you looking
