CVS(表一谓一主)
Present at the meeting were Clare Flower, Tom Goode, the lawyer and the detective, who was introduced to everyone as the lawyer's assistant. 上句中的主语与连系动词(were)为什么要倒装?
当形容词或分词充当表语(主语补足语)时,其通常的位置是在连系动词之后,即句子的语序为:SVC(主一谓一表)。此时,表语是句子的新信息(即说话人告诉读者或听者的重点所在)。请对比: The blue dress is the oldest.
The oldest dress is blue.
当此种句式中的主语是新信息(语义重点)时,或者主语较长时(往往是两者兼而有之),就可以采用 CVS 的句式(即表语位于句首,而主语和谓语进行倒装):
-
