倒装是一种语法手段，在SAT语法的考察中有一种是倒装句的用法。今天小编为大家介绍一下SAT语法倒装句的知识，大家可以作为参考。
一、什么是倒装?
倒装是一种语法手段，用以表示一定句子结构的需要和强调某一句子成分的需要。它的倒装形式主要有两种，完全倒装和不完全倒装。
完全倒装：将主语和谓语完全颠倒过来。如：In came a man with a white beard.
部分倒装：只将be动词和助动词(包括情态动词)移至主语之前。如：Only once was John late to class.
二、SAT语法倒装句考察形式
完全倒装
1. 以副词here , there开头的句子,也采用完全倒装来保持句子平衡。
例如： There are some students in the classroom.教室里有几位学生。
2. 用于“ here ( there， now， then )+不及物动词+主语”的句型中，或以 in， out， up， down， away 等副词开头的句子里，以表示强调。
例如： Here comes the bus.汽车来了。
注意：
( 1 )主语是代词时，主语和谓语不倒装。
( 2 ) here ， there 放在句首通常用一般现在时。
3. 当句首状语为表示地点的介词词组时，也常将其全部倒装。
例如： South of the city lies a big steel factory.
城市南边有一家大型钢厂。
4. 表语置于句首时，倒装结构为“表语+连系动词+主语”：
( 1 )形容词+连系动词+主语
Present at the meeting were Mr Li， Mr Wang and many other teachers.
出席会议的有李老师、王老师和其他很多老师。
( 2 )过去分词+连系动词+主语
Gone are the days when we used foreign oil.
我们使用洋油的日子一去不复返了。
( 3 )介词短语+ be +主语
Among the goods are books， exercise-books， pens and some other things.
在所有的货物中有书、练习册、钢笔和其他东西。
5. 用于 so， neither ， nor 开头的句子，表示重复前句的部分内容。原句的谓语应与前句的谓语的时态、形式相一致。
例如： He has been to Canada. So have I.
他去过加拿大，我也去过。
6. 为了保持句子平衡，或为了强调表语或状语，或是上下文紧密衔接时。
例如： They arrived at a small village， in front of which was a big river.
他们来到一个小村庄，村庄前面是条大河。
7.表示方向的副词(如：down, up, out, in, off, on, away等)或拟声词(bang, crack等)置于句首，句子用全部倒装。但主语为人称代词时除外。
例如：Up went the rocket into the air.
部分倒装
1.一般疑问句和特殊疑问句要倒装
Shall I open the door? 要我开门吗? Can you read this poem inGerman? 你能用德语朗诵这首诗吗? When will there be lastingpeace in the world? 什么时候世界上才能有持久的和平?
2.There be 句型当中
There be 句型表达的意思是："某处有…."。这个句型的主语在谓语动词后面，因此这是倒装语序。 There are not many people whowant to read this book. 想看这本书的人不多。
There once lived a pack of wolves in this cave.
在这个洞里曾经住过一群狼。 There happened to be a taxi parkedat the gate. 碰巧门口停着一辆出租车。
3.当连词as
表示"虽然、尽管"引导让步状语从句时，句子要倒装，as
相当于though，可以替换。
如： Small as/though the atom is, we can smash it.
尽管原子很小，我们可以击碎它。 Tired as/though he was, he wenton working. (=Although he was very tired, he went on working.)虽然他很累，他还是接着工作。 Cold as/though it was, we wentout. 虽然天气冷，我们还是出去了。
4.虚拟语气条件从句中的if 被省略时，要把从句中的were, had或should 移到主语之前。
(if 的省略、倒装只限于从句中有were, had
或should这三个词时。) 例如： If I had been in your place, I
wouldn't have given it up so early. =Had I been in your place, I
1. 一般疑问句或者特殊疑问句中;may表示祝愿的结构中。
例如：Where did they live before they came to work here?
May you have a good journey.
2. 用于省略的虚拟条件状语从句。
例如： Had I seen him yesterday wouldn't go to his house now.
如果我昨天见到他了，我现在就不去他家了。
3. 用于“形容词(或名词、动词) +as ( though )”引导的让步状语从句中。
Try as he would， he might failed again.
他虽然可以试试，可能还会失败。
注意：如果从句的表语是名词，其名词前无形容词时，不用冠词;若有形容词要用冠词。
4. 用于 no sooner … than … ， hardly … when 和 not until 等句型。
例如： No sooner had I come in， the telephone rang.
我刚进屋，电话铃就响了。
5. 用于 never， hardly ， seldom， scarcely， barely， little， at no time， not only等具有否定意义的副词放在句首时。
Seldom does he come late. 他很少迟到。
6. 用于“ only +状语”开头的句子。
Only in the way can we learn English well.
只有这样我们才能学好英语。
7. 用于“ so +形容词 / 副词”放在句首的 so … that 句子。
例如： So young is the boy that he can't join the army.
这孩子没到参军的年龄。

附：SAT考试真题倒装句例题解析
1. Deception of an innocent kind is their intention; asked if the picture is genuine, few of them, I
imagine, would lie. Nor would they be wise to.
倒装部分：Nor would they be wise to.
倒装类型：参见否定词语(never, seldom, little, few, barely, hardly…when, scarcely, rarely, no longer, no more, no sooner…than)+助动词+主语+谓语
e.g. Never have I heard or seen such a thing.
词汇注释： innocent (adj.)无辜的;无害的;天真的，无知的
genuine (adj.)真的，非人造的
参考译文：他们的意图是一种无伤大雅的欺骗;如果问他们这幅画是否是真品，我想，很少人会撒谎说是，他们也没有精明到那个地步。
2. Not only are celebrities the protagonists of our news, the subjects of our daily discourse, and
the repositories of our values, but they have also embedded themselves so deeply in our
consciousness that many individuals profess feeling closer to, and more passionate about,
them than about their own primary relationships: witness the fervent public interest in the
life of Britain's Princess Diana, or the fans who told television interviewers that her wedding
was the happiest day of their lives.
倒装部分：Not only are celebrities the protagonists of our news, the subjects of our daily discourse, and the repositories of our values,
倒装类型：参见not开头的短语+助动词+主语+谓语
e.g. Not only did we lose our money, but we also came close to losing our lives.(只有紧跟not的分句倒装)
词汇注释：protagonist (n.)主角
repository (n.)仓库，贮藏室
witness (vt.) 见证，目击
fervent (adj.)热情的
参考译文：名人不仅是我们新闻的主角，日常谈论的话题，价值观的源泉，而且他们把自己如此牢固地根植于我们的意识当中，以致许多人承认，他们感觉对名人比对自己身边的人更感亲近，更富激情：看看英国戴安娜王妃的生活吸引了多少狂热的公众兴趣吧，或者看看那些告诉电视记者的戴安娜粉丝们怎么说，他们说戴安娜的婚礼是他们一生最幸福的一天。
