79. Then one morning, as I was hanging out the "Going Out of Business" sign at the greenhouse, the door opened, and in walked a customer.
点睛
本句中有一个让人迷惑的短语,即hanging out。短语hang out在口语中经常出现,意为“闲逛,去某处溜达”,而在本句中则意为“把……挂到外面”。out of business意为“停业,歇业”。句末的in walked a customer采用的是倒装结构,将谓语部分移到主语之前,其正常语序应为a customer walked in。考点归纳
倒装结构是通过调整语序来起到强调作用的特殊语序,口语中较为常见的比较简单的倒装结构有:由there, here, now, then等副词引导。如:
Here comes the train. 火车来了。
Now comes your turn. 现在轮到你了。
由so, neither, nor引导。如:
You are from Hong Kong? So am I. 你是从香港来的?我也是。
I am not now, nor have I ever been an artist. 我现在不是,也一直不是什么艺术家。
某些没有宾语而主语较长的句子,可将状语提前,主语放到谓语之后。如:
On the floor stood rows of bottles. 地板上有几排瓶子。
可用作介词的副词可移到句首,同时主语放到谓语之后,用以使描写更生动,本句采用的就是此类句式。如:
Down flew the bat. 蝙蝠直飞而下。
