c.方式副词(短语)

1)概说

1657 大多数方式副词都是形容词后加词尾-ly构成:

quickly carefully traditionally

faithfully luckily internationally

但有些以-ly结尾的词是由名词加词尾构成,是形容词:

queenly soldierly friendly

beggarly worldly heavenly

cowardly scholarly miserly

这样的词不是副词,因此不能说 She walked queenly.而要说She walked in a queenly manner.不能说 He treats me friend-ly.而要说 He treats me in a friendly way.但是以-ly结尾的形容词有时直接用作副词,而不再加-ly,以避免不协调的声音:

We have acted manly(不要说 manlily) in these circumstances.

He died untimely(不要说 untimelily).

The army retreated orderly.

1658 有少数表示方式的副词性短语可以用方式副词代替:

He treats John with kindness(= kindly).

They marched off in triumph(= triumphantly).

He has told you in private(=privately).

By good luck(= Luckily) I find the thing I lost.

He is starved to death.

We wished for peace.

1659 表示方式的短语相当大一批是由介词引起的,如1658中所给的例子。另一大批为地点副词,亦称副词性小品词,常可用在动词成语中,表示方式而不是表示地点。有些地点副词跟在不及物动词后(参阅1346)。

He drew up(=stopped) before a store.

Hold on(= Wait) a second, please.

The machine broke down(=didn't work properly).

Things work out(=develop) badly.

He didn't show up(= appear).

The couple split up(=ended their relationship) just an hour after their wedding.

有些则跟在及物动词后面:

He turned down(=refused) my application.

Don't hold up(=delay) the traffic.

You made up(=invented) the story.

I'll take on(=undertake) the task.

We have to put off(=postpone) the trip.

还有一些跟在不及物动词后,后面再跟一个介词:

She came around to(=agreed to) my views.

She went in for(=got interested in)photography.

I have to fall back upon(= depend upon) his support.

We stand up for(= support) his policy.

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,只有一个或两个这类位置,从语法或修辞角度上考虑是最好的。例如在

—John—will—lend—me—his bicycle—. 中,tomorrow只适宜放在一二个位置上,而不是很多位置上。

下面所给“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,宜于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,我们把它们分作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 Januray

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:

{ewc MVIMAGE,MVIMAGE, !4F6319T1.bmp}

不管tomorrow在句中位置如何,它在图解中的位置不变。

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,但可用在这个位置的副词短语却很多:

Outside,the wind is blowing. Here I airs they are gambling.

In Japan everybody works behind a voice said,“good morning” 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.)

为了强调可以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 he(代词) went.(但不可说Off went he.)

Down fell the vase. Away he d 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!

可以放在不及物动词及主语前面。用在这个位置的副词为there,here,还有一些表示地点的短语,后面跟有以下不及物动词:be,come, go,follow,stand,sit,lie,remain,live, enter, appear, happen, arise, take place,然后跟有一个可能较长的表示人或物的主语:

b)放在主要动词前时极少。

c)放在及物动词后,放在宾语之前或之后。可放在这个位置的副词为a)中所列off,up,away等词。如果宾语较长并受到强调,副词要放在它前面,如果宾语为代词,副词则必须放在它后面:

He put on his coat. He put his coat on.

I picked up the book.I picked the book up.

She gave away her gave it away.(不可说She gave away it.)

He poured me out some tea.(不可说 some tea out)

She sent him off a gift(不可说 a gift off)

(句中有一间接宾语)

She took out “the eggs,butter, cakes and other things.”

He picked up“the money he had thrown away when he had been angry”.

He will bring back to me“the radio-set he borrowed last week”.

(副词必须放在较长的宾语前面)

I put down(= wrote down) his name. He took over(=assumed control of)the saw through(=were not deceived by) his trick.

We carried the project through(=We completed it successfully,put it into practice) laughed the criticism away(=He ignored it).

(“及物动词+地点副词”常常构成成语,并不表示位置。这种成语有时也可分开,如最后两句的情况。)

如果一个表示地点的副词(短语)和一个表示方向的副词(短语)一起用在一个谓语后面,表示方向的副词(短语)应放在表示地点的副词(短语)前面,它们之间不用and,or这类连词:

We drove from west to east in the city(但不可说We drove in the city from west to east.也不可说 from west to east and in the city)

如果谓语后跟有两个表示地点的副词(短语),表示较大地点的副词(短语)要放在表示较小地点的副词(短语)后面,如果要把其中一个放在主语前面,应将表示较大地点的副词(短语)提前:

They can kiss on the street in the U.S.(但不可说 in the the street)

In the can kiss on the street.(但不可说Onthe street they can kiss in the U.S.)

如果有几个表示方向的副词(短语),则可按事物发生的顺序安排:

From Eighth Street we proceeded past the Grand Hotel to the park,and then turn to the west.

如果副词(短语)表示宾语(而不是主语)的位置,它们应放在宾语后面:

I keep the tools on the rack.

We arranged a picnic in Mary's backyard.

I like a vacation by the seaside.

Everybody expects a revolt from all directions.

This fine climate attracts us to this country.

d)放在谓语后面时最多(即放在不及物动词、补语、或及物动词的宾语后面):

He climbed to the top of the tree.

He feels lonely in a foreign stars look small at a great distance.

副词(短语)也可用在被动结构中,位置在be和过去分词之间:

It will be altogether workers were fully is earnestly hoped that… The war is need- lessly prolonged.

1677 4)如果有几类副词(短语)一起用,它们的顺序可安排如下:

肯定 地点 方式 频度 时间

He probably went to Japan by air twice in 1962.

We met there unexpectedly last Monday.

He's certainly gone abroad with his wife recently.

I studied in London under Mr.A for a year.

1678 5)如果有两个时间状语,表示较小单位时间的状语宜放在较大单位时间的前面:

I will meet you at three o'clock tomorrow.I saw the film on Tuesday evening last week.

如果较大单位时间比较重要,或较小单位时间是后来想起的,则其顺序也可以颠倒:

I arrived yesterday afternoon,about five o' and I got married in 1968,in the month of July.

1679 6)有两个地点状语时,较小的单位一般放在前面,但有时也不如此,其顺序往往根据文体或句子平衡的需要来安排:

He lived at a small village in a northern spent the holidays at a cottage in the spent the holidays in the mountains,at a cottage we rented from a friend.

1680 7)最好不要把所有的状语放在一个地方:

I returned “to the village”“ by train”“before dark”“one day”.(不好)

“One day before dark” I returned “to the village”“ by train.”(较好)

1681 8)如果把几个状语放在一起,通常宜于把最短的放在前面,把最长的放在最后:

He arrived“silently”“after all his companions” slept “soundly”“on a very large bed” sat“down”“by mistake”“on the back of a sleeping crocodile”.

“Tomorrow” “at five” “when it begins to dawn”, I shall go to a distant city. I shall stay “here”“for three days ” “while the festival is going on”.“Yesterday”“just before breakfast”“when I was writing a letter”, Mr.A called at my house.(先是单词,然后是短语,最后是从句。)

1682 9)像refer to,insist on, beware of;play hell with,take care of,lay stress on;live up to,put up with, look down on;line up,get along,fool about,carry on, give forth,gamble away这样的成语最好不要分开:

He has always firmly and passionately believed in manners.(比 believed firmly and passionately in manners.好)

He depends upon his uncle for his education.(比depends for his education upon his uncle好)

she looks patiently after the baby.(中间有时可插入短的状语)

1683 10)包含 this,that, like, such, so, thus, the这类词的状语,和其他与前面句子或段落有关的状语,最好放在主语前面:

Just at that moment,a man such a sight,they all this manner he they I do they started the he r the war, many were like manner they were what has been said,this theory is very easy to understand.

1684 11)放在动词前的状语带有装饰性,有时可以省掉,而放在动词后面的状语比较强调,更为重要:

They suddeny attacked attacked us suddenly.

We quietly went went away quietly.

I immediately corrected it.I corrected it immediately.

I often go to the pictures.I go to the pictures very often.

1685 12)一个状语,为了强调而加以重复时,必须放在句子前面:

She decides to go tomorrow,and tomorrow she must go.

She cried sorrowfully,and sorrowfully everyone sighed.

John learned Chinese with difficulty,and with difficulty he had learned everything.

( is as happy as happy(形容词)can moth- er thinks I must have a wife,wife(名词)I must have.)

1686 13)最好不要把状语放在两个动词之间,以免意思含糊不清。下面句子都不妥当,需要改正。例如在第一个句子中,如果immediately修饰第一个动词,那它应当放在wrote的前面,反之,如果它修饰第二个动词,它就应当放在 tell the news后面:

I wrote immediately to tell him the news.

I have telephoned to him three times to come.(最好说 I have three times telephoned to him to come.或是说 I have telephoned to him to come three times.)

To inform him immediately I rang him up.(在 immediately之后应加一逗号)

下面例句是正确的:

My son now and then asked(×) to follow me to the earnestly hoped(×) to see kindly suggested(×) taking care of my little candidly admitted(×) having gone out with her boyfriend.(“×”表示状语不宜放的位置。)

1687 14)如果主要动词前有两个助动词,修饰整个句子的副词(特别是频度及肯定副词)要放在两个助动词之间,而修饰主要动词的副词(特别是方式副词)应放在这个动词的前面:

a) Tigers have often been discovered in this area.

You can never have seen such a beautiful place.

He will probably be made President of the Company.

He has surely been punished for his offence.

He may,unfortunately,be killed by robbers.

b) This decision will be publicly announced.

I would have carefully done it,if it had been useful.

He must have seriously considered this matter.

1688 15)要使副词(短语)尽可能靠近它修饰的动词:

We went to deserted village almost ten miles away from the capital yesterday.(不好)

We went yesterday to…capital.(较好)

Yesterday a guest who had come from a distant country called on me.(不好)

A guest…me yesterday.(较好)

Immediately,he told me to leave his house.(不好)

He told me to leave his house immediately.(较好)

1689 16)某些副词,如 only, alone, also, too, even,可能只与某个词有关,应尽量使之靠近这个词:

Only John(n.)(Nobody else) saw Mary there two days ago.

John only saw(v.)Mary(did not talk with her) there two days ago.

John saw only Mary(n.)( not anybody else) there two days ago.

John saw Mary only there(adv.)(not in any other place) two days ago.

John saw Mary there only two days ago(adv-phrase) (not more than two days ago).

He alone( Nobody else) loves her.

He loved her alone( nobody else).

He loves her for her simplicity alone(not for any other reason).

Her husband,too(not only she),spends a lot of money.

Her husband spends a lot of money, too(not only earns so much).

1690 17)一个包含否定词(或有否定意义的词)的副词(短语)可以放在“助动词+主语+主要动词”的前面来加以强调:

In no other land do I wish to live and die.

(否定的时间副词或短语)

Never have I said anything to him.(正确)

不过,要是一个短语,虽然包含否定词,却没有否定意义,句子仍用正常语序:

Not long(= A short time)ago I still saw him.(不要说did I still see him.)

Not many(= A few) months later, he came again.

Not infrequently(=Often) he told me the same story.

(也可说 did he tell…)

Not only she agreed,but also her husband said “yes”.

(也可说 Not only did she agree…)

尽管副词(短语)并不是否定的,间或也可有“副词(短语)+助动词+主语+主要动词”这样的语序:

In vain have I written all these articles.

From time to time has he said that,but nobody cares.

Still more was I impressed with her manners.

Many a night did John wait for her at the corner.

Of the fifty students,can only five pass this year.

1691 18)副词(短语),特别是地点和时间副词(短语),可以放在表示“存在”、“出现”、“发生”等的不及物动词前面,而主语(第一次出现的东西或加以强调的东西)放在后面(参阅1667 a),1668 a)):地点副词(短语):
