After winter comes spring?要倒裝?

一個類似的句子：After Anne comes George I.安女王之後繼任者的是喬治一世
這種倒裝句並不是強制性的〔可倒裝，也可不倒裝，倒裝只是用來突顯主題〕．其實這句也可以寫成George I comes after Anne.不過焦點就成了George I這個主詞了．倒裝之後after Anne占了主詞的位置，這個介系詞片語就成為焦點，也就是在句子的順序讓它成為焦點，變得比較重要，全句的關係仍保持不變，after Anne在句之中是當主詞補語，補不完全不及物動詞comes意思的不足，因為和時序有關，屬副詞性質．只是和主詞交換位置而已，目的在將句子的訊息結構由〔自然結構〕改成〔突顯結構〕．原主詞不可再和動詞再交換一次位置，所以寫成spring comes不對．這是英語語法的邏輯．
類似的突顯結構還有：
把補語提前：Strange people they are!
把受詞提前：What I'm going to do next I just don't know.

仔細想想，如果和Strange people they are這句相比，好像After winter sping comes也是可以的．只是找遍手邊資料，沒有可以用來佐證come這個動詞也可以這樣寫的，只有after winter comes spring這種．看來這個問題，只好暫時存疑吧！

終於查到不能把Here comes Freddy!說成Here Freddy comes!的規定．
參見〔整個動詞在主語之前〕之說明：牛津英語用法指南（牛津大學出版社，第二版，ISBN 0-19-590902-X）第422頁　條目299 inversion 倒裝(2)

該頁還有說明：如果主詞是〔代名詞〕，倒裝時則主詞放在動詞之前，應說成Here she comes.但不能說成Here comes she.

因此可以說明為什麼不能說after winter spring comes．因為spring不是代名詞，所以不能放在動詞之前．

Time flies! After winter ________ and it's another new start.

(A) spring comes (B) comes spring

答案為何是B?

A 不可以嗎? (不可以)


After winter是時間副詞?

No, not here; "After winter" is used to identify a period of time,which takes the position of subject in the sentence. "Comes" is better translated into 帶來 than來臨, and spring is the object of the short sentence. Therefore, the pattern: Subject-verb-object is completed.

After winter(two words used as subject) comes(verb) spring(object)

However, if a comma is placed between winter and spring, such as: "After winter,spring comes",then "after winter" is used as an adverb. In that case,

After winter, spring comes = Spring comes after winter



若說沒有逗點 朗文字典的例句中

After the performance there was applause.也沒有用逗點呀

It should be:
After the performance, there was applause (= There was applause after the performance).
So, it might be a mistake in the dictionary?




有人說是因為 come after兩字並用

特殊句型的關係 是嗎?

那Before winter fall comes.就不用倒裝嗎

After winter fall disappears.就不用倒裝嗎

I am sorry, but are these two real examples you found somewhere?
They look strange. Should they be:

Fall comes before winter? Fall disappears before winter?


試想
若是國中生.或國中老師看到這樣的中文
"在冬天後, 春天來臨"
他們應該會翻 After winter, spring comes. (This is correct)

而此題是否要考像是格言
After a storm comes a calm. 這樣的說法(This is correct too)

所以A 在"考試中" 應該要加逗點才可選 是嗎? (You are right)

我想 comes spring 是在強調 come , 來的一定是 spring, not anything else. If use spring comes, 就像其它東西 may come also.

after winter comes spring 和 after winter spring comes 都是一樣的喔^^
他也不太算是倒裝,只是說法不一樣而已

要逗點當然也可以(如果某些老師觀念要你這麼做的話)

不過其實不逗點也是對的喔!
