so needy 放句首是倒装吗

So needy are the citizens of the "last frontier" that the looming trial of Ted Stevens, Alaska's senior senator and champion pork-rustler, for failing to disclose gifts is viewed not just as a political scandal but also as an economic threat.


我已经理解了后面 for 引导的原因状语从句,但是前面主句的主语和谓语找不出来,看不懂是什么意思, so needy 在这里是表语放到前面倒装吗?倒装的依据是什么?


如果 so needy 是表语,那主语 the citizens of the "last frontier" that the looming trial of Ted Stevens, Alaska's senior senator and champion pork-rustler 这里的 that 怎么理解? 理解成定从的引导词又不对,因为后面不是句子,究竟该怎么理解才好?

网友对句子结构的理解是错误的。

本句中for不是连词,而是介词,后接动名词短语failing to disclose gifts作宾语,for介词短语是trial的定语。trial of somebody for doing something. 因某事而对某人进行审判。

这个句子是so+形容词+that结果状语从句结构。

so...that...是个关联从属连词。其中so强调主句中的某个形容词或副词,that引导结果状语从句。如果so+形容词或副词前置于主句之首,则主句必须部分倒装。本句so needy是主句的表语,前置后导致系词are倒装于主语之前,主句的主语为the citizens of the "last frontier。

从that到句末,都是结果状语从句。该从句分析如下:

主语: the looming trial of Ted Stevens, Alaska's senior senator and champion pork-rustler, for failing to disclose gifts

谓语:is viewed

主语补足语:not just as a political scandal but also as an economic threat

在so...that...句式中,so 表示程度,that 从句表示结果。

如果so 引导的部分前置句首,主句中的主语和谓语需用部分倒装,只需把“操作词”题到主语之前。

例如:

So smoothly does the pen write that I like it very much.

这支笔写起来如此流畅,我非常喜欢它。

So dark was the cave that explorers could see nothing.

洞里如此黑,探险者们什么也看不见。

So fast did he walk that I couldn't follow him at all.

他走得如此快,我根本跟不上他。

So needy are the citizens of the "last frontier" that the looming trial of Ted Stevens, Alaska's senior senator and champion pork-rustler, for failing to disclose gifts is viewed not just as a political scandal but also as an economic threat.

还原为正常语序为下面句子

The citizens of the "last frontier" are so needy that the looming trial of Ted Stevens, Alaska's senior senator and champion pork-rustler, for failing to disclose gifts is viewed not just as a political scandal but also as an economic threat.

So+形容词+that 如此以至于,that引导结果状语从句
