👍 俐媽英文教室：倒裝句
EEC孩子最近學完了所有的倒裝句，可別以為這文法高階又少見，它可是很常出現在寫作之中。光在Wild(那時候我只剩下勇敢)這本書裡，俐媽就找出好多倒裝佳句喔！
🚧 There, it would be easy to reach, should I need it.
⚠️ 原句為There, it would be easy to reach, if I should need it. "可能性極低"的假設語氣中以should表示"萬一"，又假設語氣中有三個字(had, should, were)可以形成倒裝--去掉連接詞if，再將had/should/were與主詞對倒。因而if I should need it變成了should I need it.
🚧 Seldom did anyone manage to get it right, and even I stumbled over it a good portion of the time.
⚠️ Seldom表"不常"，為否定字，置於句首時後面形成"be/aux. + S"的倒裝句形式。其它常見否定字有never, rarely, barely, scarcely, hardly, in no time, only, not until, not only...but also..., nowhere, little等等。
🚧 I realized that under no circumstances while on my date tomorrow could I take off my pants.
⚠️ under no circumstances表"決不"(= never = in no way = by no means = on no condition = on no account)為否定字，故後面形成could I take off my pants的倒裝句構。
🚧 As omnipresent as the snow was, I also sensed its waning, melting imperceptibly by the minute all around me.
⚠️ 原句為Although the snow was omnipresent,...，為強調形容詞omnipresent而將其置於句首，although the snow was順勢向後移，但although不能放在句中，因此改成though或as(較常見)。此句中的as即表"雖然"。omnipresent (a.) 無所不在的，字首omni- = all，而present為形容詞表"出席的；出現的"。
🚧 Much as I wanted to open it that night on the trail, I wasn't willing to lug the empty bottle all the way to Timberline Lodge.
⚠️ 原句為Although I wanted to open it that night on the trail,...，表"雖然"的倒裝句只可強調adj./ adv./ N，因此要強調動詞時，要額外在句首加上副詞much。故Although I wanted to open it that night on the trail,... = Much as I wanted to open it that night on the trail, ...
🚧 Into the box went the foldable saw and miniature binoculars and the megawatt flash for the camera I had yet to use.
⚠️ Here/ There/ 地方副詞/ 介副詞(i.e. into, away, off, in, out, up, down...)置於句首時，後面的主詞和動詞要對置形成倒裝句。The bus comes here. = Here comes the bus.，而The foldable saw and miniature binoculars and the megawatt flash for the camera I had yet to use went into the box. = Into the box (地方副詞) + went (動詞) + the foldable saw and miniature binoculars and the megawatt flash for the camera I had yet to use (主詞)。
⛽️ 注意：若主詞為代名詞時，則不倒裝，如He comes here. = Here (副詞) + he (主詞) + comes (動詞).
🚧 As soon as I got my pack off, I lay on the tree as if it were a couch--a sweet respite from the ground.
⚠️ as soon as為連接詞表"一...就..."。本句亦可以寫成No sooner had I got my pack off than I lay on the tree as if... = Hardly/Scarcely had I got my pack off when/before I lay on the tree as if...
⛽️ "No sooner + had S Vpp + than + S + Ved"及"Hardly/Scarcely + had S Vpp + when/before + S + Ved"均為表"一...就..."的倒裝句構。
👀 打完這些重點，俐媽的兩隻眼睛也倒裝啦～

❤️ 俐媽英文教室：Wild(那時候我只剩下勇敢)文法句型篇Part 1
✏️ The only thing I could think to do was turn my back to the van and squat...
➡️ 句型"All that/What... + S + do/does/did + is/was + (to) Vr"表「⋯所做的事就是⋯」，其中to均被省略，造成be動詞與原型動詞併放，且注意要使用單數動詞is/was。
✏️ The sight of the square concrete pool lifted my spirits enormously not only because at the springs there was water, but also because humans had so clearly constructed it.
➡️ 對等連接詞not only...but also...要連接詞性、結構相同的字/片語/子句，故文中兩個because為對稱。
✏️ I wanted neither to get back together with Paul nor to get divorced.
➡️ 同樣地，對等連接詞neither...nor...用法同not only...but also...，文中的to get back及to get divorced即為symmetry(對稱)。
✏️ ...use DEET or any other such brain-destroying, earth-polluting, or future-progeny-harming chemical.
➡️ 文中使用compound adjective(複合形容詞)，用法為：N/adj./adv.-Ving/Vpp，其中使用現在分詞Ving 表「主動」或過去分詞Vpp表「被動」由後面所修飾的名詞決定。文中化學物質chemical主動破壞腦部、汙染地球、傷害後代子孫，故均使用Ving形式。其中的連字符號"-"叫hyphen哦！
✏️ It turned out I wasn't able to keep my family together.
➡️ It turned out that + S + V表「結果是⋯」。
✏️ The heat was so intense that my memory of it is not so much a sensation...
➡️ so + adj./adv. + that + S + V表「如此⋯以致於⋯」，亦可強調intense而寫成倒裝句：So intense was the heat that my memory...。注意heat和intense可為collocation哦！
✏️ ...no matter how kindly his eyes twinkled when he smiled.
➡️ no matter + wh- = wh-ever表「不論⋯」，後面接副詞子句。文中的no matter how = however表「不論多麼⋯」，並不翻「然而」。
✏️ It was then that I spotted what I'd searched for days: mountain lion tracks.
➡️ It is/was + 強調部份(人、物、地、時) + that + S + V，此為強調句用法。別忘了俐媽的精典例句哦😝

祝週末愉快😉😉😉

只剩六個月壽命的大學教授Randy Pausch，會留給我們什麼精采的人生對話呢？

🏈Self-esteem is not something you can give; it's something children have to build.

🏈Look, I'm going to find a way to be happy, and I'd really love to be happy with you, but if I can't be happy with you, then I'll find a way to be happy without you.
🏈Live in the moment.
🏈Luck is indeed where preparation meets opportunity.
🏈Do not focus on little issues while ignoring the major ones.

🏈If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.
🏆 重點句型：
🎾Left at the bottom of the box was "hope." 此為主詞與主詞補語對調的倒裝句，原句為："Hope" was left at the bottom of the box.
🎾I insisted that she be given another ultrasound. 動詞insist表"堅持"，為意志動詞之一，因此後面的that子句應為S + (should) + V，故原句為...that she should be given another...，而should省略之後留下that she be given...的形式。
🎾If I were able to live, we'd be making those mistakes together.表「與現在事實相反」的假設語氣應用過去式，而此時be動詞固定使用were。本句亦可倒裝為：Were I able to live, ...
