weak做名词的用法

Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions; strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts。请问括号内的内容如何理解啊?Weak和strong都是形容词啊,据我所知如果变成名词的话,前面得加the。还有这个“he”这个代词可以做先行词吗?

网友应该知道这个句子:
He who doesn't reach the Great Wall is not a true man. 不到长城非好汉。


1. 这里,He 不是指特定的他,而是泛指任何人,后面可以直接跟定语从句。那么,我们就完全可以说:
 He who permits his thoughts to control his actions is weak; he who forces his actions to control his thoughts is strong.
——就像上句格言一样,句子没错,但主语太长了,是不是感到头重脚轻?


2. 为了句子匀称,避免头重脚轻,我们换一种说法,把定语从句后移:
He is weak who permits his thoughts to control his actions; he is strong who forces his actions to control his thoughts.


3. 上句的定语从句与先行词被 “系表分隔”,仍然不够理想,干脆“主系表”完全倒装,让定语从句紧挨着先行词:
Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions; strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts.

——这就是网友句子的来历。希望全面了解和掌握这三个句子,学会更多的表达方式。


【特别说明】主系表结构不是随便可以倒装的。 例如 “他很高兴”。我们通常说:He is happy. 不说:Happy is he.
只有在句子结构需要变化的情况下,才不得已而为之。

同学你好,很高兴为你解答。

Strong is he/ weak is he的用法属于完全倒装句。这里用到的规则是“做表语的形容词前置时,句子完全倒装”

我们分析一下这个句子,首先把它还原成正常语序就是He is strong/ He is weak.

He是主语,is是系动词,strong或者weak是表语,同时这两个词在这里是形容词,因此可以将其前置写成倒装句,起到强调“强壮”、“虚弱”的作用。

完全倒装句我们就可以简单地理解为“正话反说”,比如我们常说的“Here I go”或者“Here comes the bus”正常语序明明是“I go hereThe bus comes here”,但是我们平时偏要倒过来说,这就是完全倒装句。当然我这里举这个例子是帮你理解倒装句,这两个例子用到的规则是“here/there等地点副词位于句首,句子用完全倒装”。虽然规则不同,但是最根本的道理和你问的两个句子是一样的,因此我这里这样讲解,希望你能明白。
