表語(yǔ)或狀語(yǔ)置于句首時(shí)的完全倒裝

有時(shí)為了強(qiáng)調(diào)或者為了使句子平衡或者為了使上下文連接得更加緊密，就將表語(yǔ)和地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)(多為介詞短語(yǔ))置于句首，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也常置于主語(yǔ)前，構(gòu)成完全倒裝。如：

By the door stood an armed guard. 門口站著一名手持武器的士兵。

At the next table was a pretty girl waiting for someone. 隔壁桌上坐著一個(gè)等人的漂亮姑娘。

Among these people was his friend Jim. 他的朋友吉姆就在這些人當(dāng)中。

By the window sat a young man with a magazine in his hand. 窗戶邊坐著一個(gè)年輕人，手里拿著一本雜志。

At the front of the book is a table of contents, giving details of what is in the book. 書的前部有目錄，詳列了書中的內(nèi)容。
