倒装(inversion)情况复杂, 一般由语法倒装(gramatical inversion)和修辞倒装(rhetorical inversion).
由于主语较长而倒装,属修辞倒装。
如:They erect a bronze tablet on which is carved \"The Yellow River Source\".
He described it as \"a very agreeable situation located within two small hills in the midst of which flowed a great river\".
类似的还有为了上下文的衔接通畅而倒装。
如:The girl who loves him so deeply finds herself unable to forgive his mistake.
Around this point develops the sketch, which is humourous and full of a strong local flavour.
还有为强调某一句子成分而倒装,可在语法书上看到详解。
