3.副词(短语)的位置
a.有关7类副词(短语)位置的特别规律
1665 当副词(短语)修饰动词以外的其他词时,它的位置很容易确定。但在修饰动词时,其位置却不易确定,它可以放在主语前面、助动词前面、主要动词前面、及物动词宾语的前面、补语前面、动词后面、宾语后面或补语后面。在一个特定的句子中,从语法或修辞角度上考虑,只有一个或两个这类位置是最好的。例如在—John—will—lend—me—his bicycle—.* 中,tomorrow只适宜放在一两个位置上,而不是很多位置上。
所谓“规律”只是一些建议,因为特定的副词(短语)有特殊的习惯用法,宜放在某个特定的位置,有些还会随着作者的特殊意图有特殊的位置。
1666 为了决定副词(短语)的位置,我们把它们分为7类,而不是5类。
(1)地点副词(短语):there,forward,ashore;in Japan,at the station,on high
(2)时间副词(短语):yesterday,ago,yet;on Sunday,this evening,for five days,from 1950 till 1960,since last January
(3)频度副词(短语):often,rarely;from time to time
(4)肯定副词(短语):surely,definitely,probably;no doubt
(5)程度副词(短语):greatly,partially;beyond measure,to some degree
(6)方式副词(短语):slowly,sadly;at a low price,in jest
(7)疑问副词(短语):where?why?how?when?for what reason?in which room?
图解:
不管tomorrow在句中的位置如何,它在图解中的位置都不变。
(1)地点副词(短语)
1667 地点副词(短语)可以:
(a)放在主语前面。能用在这个位置的副词很少,但副词短语却很多。
Outside,the wind is blowing.Here I stop.Upstairs they are gambling.
In Japan everybody works hard.From behind a voice said,“good morning”.To the west lay a large villa.
Into the city I've never driven this car.(这是错句,否定谓语不能放在表示方向的状语后面,而应放在前面,应当说I've never driven this car into the city.)
为了强调而放在主语前面的副词有 off,up,away,over,down,out,in,back,round,on,above,along,about,below,inside,outside。
Off went John.* Off John went.Off he(代词)went.(但不可说Off went he.)
Down fell the vase.Away he ran.Round and round flew the bird.
Up you jump!In you go!
Up with the King!Down with Fascism!Off with his head!Away with you!
