倒装句的妙用
在英语读后续写中,倒装句作为亮点句型,能够极大地增强文章的表现力与感染力。
不过,为避免给人刻意堆砌句型之感,建议一段文字中仅使用一次倒装句,且主要运用于
矛盾升级、矛盾解决和反思升华这三个关键部分,以此凸显其强调作用。接下来,让我们
一同深入探究倒装句在不同场景下的具体应用。
一、“so + adj + be + 主语 + that”倒装句
(一)适用情节
1. **开头/背景交代**:通过此倒装结构,可着重强调环境的恶劣程度或情况的紧迫
性,有力地渲染出危机四伏的氛围。
2. **转折点**:用于刻画主角某种强烈的情感或特殊状态,进而推动情节发展,引发
后续行动。
(二)不同情节下的例句应用
1. **雪崩救人**:“Fierce was the snowstorm that all paths were buried in white
silence.”(风暴如此猛烈,以至于所有的路径都被埋没在白色的寂静中。)此句开篇便营
造出紧张压抑的氛围,为后续救援行动的展开埋下伏笔,让读者深切感受到救援的紧迫
性。
2. **马术比赛**:“So determined was the rider that he refused to yield even as his horse
stumbled.”(骑手如此坚定,以至于即使马匹踉跄,他也不愿放弃。) 这里强调了骑手突
破极限的决心,使读者对骑手的坚韧意志有更深刻的认识,同时也为胜利情节的到来做好
铺垫。
二、“介词 + 地点 + 动词”倒装句
(一)适用情节位置

和吸引力。
(二)不同情节下的例句应用
1. **寻找失踪的孩子**:“In the distance lay a red scarf, half buried under the
snow.”(远处有一条红色围巾,半埋在雪中。)这条围巾作为寻找孩子的重要线索,自然
地引导出下文的行动,激发读者的好奇心,使故事更具连贯性。
2. **野外遇险**:“On the edge of the cliff stood their last hope—a wooden ladder
swaying in the wind.”(悬崖边上矗立着他们最后的希望——一架在风中摇晃的木梯。)在
这紧张的关键时刻,生存道具的出现推动情节急剧发展,将紧张氛围拉满,有力地推动了
矛盾的解决。
三、“形容词 + though/as + 主语 + be 动词”倒装句
(一)适用情节位置
1. **人物内心冲突**:精准地描述主人公在面对困难时内心的矛盾情感,展现人物的
复杂性。
2. **结尾反思/总结**:突出经历对人物的重要意义,体现人物的成长,升华文章主
题。
(二)不同情节下的例句应用
1. **朋友误会**:“Angry though she was, she couldn’t ignore the years of friendship
they had shared.”(尽管她很生气,但她无法忽视他们多年友情的深厚。)该句生动地展现
了人物内心的挣扎,为解开误会埋下伏笔,使人物形象更加立体,情感更加真实。
2. **照顾受伤的鹿**:“Grateful though he felt, he knew the forest was the deer’s true
home.”(尽管他很感激,但他知道这片森林才是鹿真正的家园。)在结尾处使用此倒装
句,不仅升华了主题,还传递出人与自然和谐共处的理念,引发读者的思考。四、“分词 + be 动词 + 名词 + that”倒装句
(一)适用情节位置
1. **情感高潮**:着重强调人物情感或身体状态达到极限,增强情感的冲击力。

深刻感受到比赛的紧张与激烈,以及马匹所承受的巨大压力。

eyes.”(他感到如此羞愧,以至于无法直视搬运工的眼睛。)该句生动展现了误会解决后

again.”(他们刚开始挖雪,雪就再次塌陷。)此句将救援过程中的危险和紧张展现得淋漓
尽致,让读者仿佛身临其境,感受到救援人员面临的巨大挑战。
2. ** 朋 友 误 会 ** : “ Never had she felt so misunderstood by someone she caredabout.”(她从未感到如此被在乎的人误解过。)该句强烈地表达了误会给人物带来的情感
冲击,使读者更能体会到人物内心的痛苦和无奈。

想深度。

理。

Once upon a time, in a village, a little boy named Bob lived with his mother in their attractive little
cottage. They didn’t have much but were content with the little they had. Every day after he came home from
school, Bob would accompany his mother to the forest to collect firewood.
One day, when Bob was in the forest collecting wood, he came across a puppy which seemed to be all
alone. Bob looked here and there for its owner but in vain. So he picked it up, put it under his shirt and carried
it home. Reaching home, he said to her mother, “Mom, I found a little puppy alone in the forest! Can we keep
him, please?“ Feeling Bob’s happiness, his mother was in two minds about whether to keep the puppy or not.She told him, ”Oh Bob, that’s the cutest puppy I’ve ever seen! But we don’t have much. What will we do about
his food and sleeping arrangement?“ Bob replied, “It’s OK. I’ll give him half of my meals and let him sleep
with me in my bed.” Hearing this, Bob’s mother just nodded. Bob’s happiness knew no bounds, and he named
the puppy Milo.
From that day onwards, Bob and Milo became the best friends. Milo followed Bob wherever he went.
When Bob went to school, Milo would diligently wait outside the classroom till the classes ended. At night,
Milo slept next to Bob on his tiny bed and dreamed sweet dreams.
On one particular day, Milo was sick, unable to follow Bob, so he stayed at home. That day it rained
heavily, and the roads everywhere turned slippery. On his way home, Bob was trying to reach home as soon as
possible as he dreamed of Milo waiting for him and keeping him warm. Unfortunately, Bob missed seeing a
hole at the side of the road and fell down the hole!

【答案】One possible version:
He cried for help, hoping to be heard by passers-by. But due to the loud thundering and noise of the heavy
rains, no one heard him. It had become very late, and Bob’s mother was worried at home. She called the
neighbors, and they formed a search party to find Bob. Milo, too, was worried, and so he joined them all. Theysearched high and low but still couldn’t find Bob. Milo used his keen sense of smell and went sniffing
everywhere. When he came closer to the hole, he picked up Bob’s scents and started barking loudly.
Milo’s behavior drew the search party’s attention, and they ran towards the hole. When they looked into it,
they found Bob sitting and shivering in the darkness, wet and cold. Some people comforted Bob gently while
others fetched a rope quickly and dropped it down to Bob. He held onto one end and then they pulled him up.
Everyone cheered, Milo jumping around happily. Bob’s mother hugged him tightly. Bob thanked everyone for
helping him and hugged Milo lovingly for being his best friend and hero.

When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch very obvious scar (伤疤) on her arm,
“Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not notice it, but it means
it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
It never occurred to me that something like this would happen to my son years later. Sending a child off to
college can certainly be stressful for concerned parents. It was 2018 that my son went off to college. He rarely
contacted us. I couldn’t help asking about other aspects, which sometimes made him complain that I didn’t treat
him as an adult.
To be honest, my son is excellent. Some of my friends always tell me that they admire my son’s characters
and they hope their sons could have some of them.
Unexpectedly, it was 4 o’clock in the morning in 2020, when I received the phone call. “This is the
emergency room calling and your son was just brought in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We
have called for an aircraft and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his
college, so we knew immediately this was serious.
The doctor described the reason, which caused the burns. At 6 am, my son and his friends decided to
barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they lit the charcoal, it burst into flames
because they had sprayed too much gasoline. The flames caught my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to
well over his head.
Fortunately, one of the boys who was quick-minded grasped my son and rolled him on the grass. While it
saved his life, it was not in shape to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars.
After he recovered from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery for 6
months because it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling.

【答案】参考范文:
The doctors suggested he return to college with scars of severe burns temporarily. Although I knew that
there were going to be storms in life, it was hard for me to imagine that a handsome and sunny boy would
return to his classmates with scars. I really didn’t know how to comfort him. After all, the scars were on him.
Not all of us could be able to turn that particular page successfully. It was at this time that I remembered what
my mother said to my sister. It was those words that enabled her to overcome her psychological barriers and
lead a smooth life.
So I told him about Nancy’s childhood. I passed the wisdom on to my son. Realizing my complex feelings,
he smiled and comforted me instead. He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head held high.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter. So he made the decision to
give up any plastic surgery. We all have “scars” that we believe will keep people away from us. Put your
imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine
through.

“What will we be singing for the contest this year?” a student from my high school choir asked eagerly.
I worried about this moment. “I was thinking,” I said, “maybe we would skip the contest and just work
hard on the concerts this year.”
“NO!” the kids protested.
“We’ve got to go to the contest!”
“It’s a tradition!”
Indeed, award plaques (牌匾) lined the front wall of the music room from the past successes of large,
talented classes. But a change in educational policies, with an emphasis on academics had reduced my choir to
a mere thirty-two young, inexperienced kids who could sing only a simple melody.
“I’ll have to think about it,” I said, hoping their enthusiasm would die off in a couple of weeks. Quite on
the contrary, more determined, they begged and insisted every day. To protect their pride, I couldn’t tell them
they weren’t good enough. But I wasn’t a miracle worker. And so I hesitated about this dilemma.
Finally one morning I stepped into class. “Look at the clock!” I demanded. “We’ve wasted two full
minutes because some of you don’t have your music ready. If we are entering the contest” The rest of mysentence was lost in cheers of delight and applause.
“From now on,” I continued when the noise weakened, “you will find the day’s lesson plan on the board.
Make full preparations for each class and follow my instructions absolutely. You will work much harder than
you’ve ever worked in any class before. And if one of these rules is broken, we will not go to the contest.”
I was certain they would fail to keep this contract, and no one would be embarrassed. But the kids
remained focused, following the rules strictly. Each morning witnessed their diligence: working on sight-
reading, learning musical terms, rehearsing, etc. Their progress was so remarkable that even I began believing
in their dream.
When the contest day finally arrived, the kids felt ready and confident to take on the world! Their eyes,
however, opened wide when the Madison choir marched in seventy-five members strong. My kids’ jaws
dropped when 125 students from King School arrived. Two private schools came with fifty members each, and
finally forty-five members from Milwaukee School of Art.

Then came the turn for my choir. Extremely confident, they mounted on the stage as we rehearsed.“Smile!” I mouthed. I took a deep breath and we began. Having performed masterfully, we finished our three
songs, and I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs, “YOU DID IT!” What delighted me more was that they
fully enjoyed their performance without getting panicked, winning storms of cheers and applause. My heart
swelled with pride for this little group as they realized their dream with the same bravery they had shown from
day one.
After all the choirs had performed, we waited in our assigned room for the results. Sensing their
worries about the group size, I reassured them: it was the performance rather than the size that mattered and
most importantly, we enjoyed it. Time ticking, kids waited anxiously. Eventually, there came the news that we
got the highest marks of all. All kids were screaming and embracing. Warm tears wetting my cheeks, I stood
frozen, staring at the list in disbelief. It was a blessing that I was surrounded by kids who had a dream, who
refused to give up, who taught me never to doubt the possibility of success for any student ever again.
