There was a knock at the door and in came Susan.
句中的 in came Susan 与 Susan came in 有无区别?
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:
-
Here's your present. (AVS) 这是给你的礼品。
-
{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。
-
{The book is there—on the table. 那本书在那儿——就在桌子上。
-
[Here comes Tom. 来的是汤姆。
-
{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:
-
Away went the runners. 赛跑运动员跑远了。
-
Down came the rain. 下起雨来了。
-
Down fell the mirror... (全国高考,98-阅A) 镜子掉了下来……
-
Up went the arrow into the air. 箭飞入空中。
-
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。
