词典解答

有些副词充当状语时,采用倒装语序是很常见的,它与正装语序所表达的含义是不同的。SVA 语序(正装语序)的特点是:句子重音落在 A(状语)上,A 是句子的信息焦点,是告诉读者或听者的新信息。AVS(倒装语序)的特点是:句子重音落在 S(主语)上,S 是句子的语义重点,是告诉读者或听者的新信息。拿上面的句子来说,人们听到敲门声,有人进来,是肯定无疑的。但是,进来的到底是谁,却是个未知信息。因此,上面的句子应当译为:有人敲门,进来的是苏姗。而不应当译为:有人敲门,苏姗进来了。

请对比:

  1. Here's your present. (AVS) 这是给你的礼品。

  2. {Your present is here. (SVA) 你的礼品在这儿呢。

There's the book I want. 那就是我所需要的书。

  1. {The book is there—on the table. 那本书在那儿——就在桌子上。

  2. [Here comes Tom. 来的是汤姆。

  3. {Tom comes here. 汤姆常常来这里。

当主语为名词时,下列副词如与移动动词连用在口语中便常常采用 AVS 句式:away, down, in, off, out, over, round, up。例如:

  1. Away went the runners. 赛跑运动员跑远了。

  2. Down came the rain. 下起雨来了。

  3. Down fell the mirror... (全国高考,98-阅A) 镜子掉了下来……

  4. Up went the arrow into the air. 箭飞入空中。

  5. Following the roar, out rushed a tiger from among the bushes. 一声吼叫,从林子里冲出一只老虎来。

[注意]主语为代词时,不能采用AVS句式,而必须采用ASV句式(见here is/are):

Here he comes. 他来了。
