where 引出的倒裝句

《警惕，高考英語陷阱》中有這樣一道題：

Little Jim is going to spend his holiday in Paris, _________ lives his uncle.

A. which                  B. who                     C. where                  D. that

【分析】許多人一看到空格后的謂語動詞lives，就以為空格處一定要填一個作主語的詞，從而誤選B或D。其實，此題的最佳答案應是C，where lives his uncle 為倒裝詞序，此句可改為 and there lives his uncle 或 and his uncle lives there。類似的如：

He was led to a dark corner, where sat his old father. 他被引進一個黑暗的角落，他的老父親坐在那兒。

Towards evening we reached the village, where lived her parents. 到傍晚的時候，我們到了那個村莊，她的父母就住在那兒。

At last we found the spot he told me, where lay a dead dog. 最后我們找到了他告訴我們的那個地點，那兒躺著一條死狗。

為便于理解，請比較下面的倒裝句：

Next to it stood a pile of paper cups. 它旁邊有一堆紙杯。

In the doorway stood a man with a gun. 門口站著一個手持一枝槍的男人。

In the corner of the room stood a big old chair. 屋角兒放著一把舊的大椅子。

On a perch beside him sat a blue parrot. 在他旁邊的棲木上棲著一只藍色的鸚鵡。
