GRE阅读语法之倒装句

倒装句结构

倒装句的产生是为了平衡句子结构,或者是为了强调句子的某一部分特意将其提前,让其放置在引人注目的首要地方。倒装结构可分为主谓倒装和非主谓倒装。而主谓倒装又可分为完全倒装和部分倒装,完全倒装顾名思义指整个谓语全部放在主语的前面,而部分倒装通常指只将谓语的一部分,通常是助动词,系动词或情态动词放置于主语之前。

from each of books goes out its own voice, as inaudible as the streams of sound conveyed by electric waves beyond the range of our hearing, and just as the touch of a button on our stereo will fill the room with music, so by opening one of these volumes, one can call into range a voice far distant in time and space, and hear it speaking, mind to mind, heart to heart.

句子解析：from each of books goes out its own voice这是一个完全的倒装句其正常的语序是its own voice goes out from each of books,而as…as引导的部分用于修饰its own voice。

句子翻译：每本书发出好像无线电波传出的声音,由于超出我们的听觉范围而无法听见;正如我们按一下立体音响上的按钮,整个房间立即回荡着乐曲声一样,我们翻阅其中一本书就仿佛步入了一个遥远时空的音域。我们听见一个声音在侃侃而谈,那么倾心,那么坦诚。
