　　倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)中的常見短語：

　　Off we go...

　　Down with ... as in "Down with the Gang of Four."

　　妙用倒裝

　　如果你行文平淡，那就枯燥無味。你需要不時(shí)地改變一下你的行文規(guī)則，把簡(jiǎn)單的東西緊縮，放在一起寫，有時(shí)你得打破你敘述事情的慣用模式。達(dá)到語言變化自如的途徑之一是顛倒句子的正常順序。倒裝使文章清新，出人意料,富于創(chuàng)造性。

　　打破詞或句子的自然順序可獲得強(qiáng)調(diào)的效果，但注意：如果過分使用倒裝會(huì)使文章矯揉造作，有明顯的雕琢痕跡。同時(shí)句子次序的變化不應(yīng)該造成歧義。

　　例 Wrong: Those who teach rarely get rich.

　　這個(gè)句子含義模糊，分辨不出是 "teach rarely" 還是 "rarely get rich?"

　　Reversed/ Correct:Rarely do those who teach get rich.

　　Reversed/Correct:Rarely do people get rich by teaching.

　　優(yōu)秀作家一般在句子的一半處引出主語。可是很多學(xué)生幾乎不用這種寫法。應(yīng)該變換這種主語開頭的寫法。
