But the teacher cried 可是老師哭了

英語笑話

The six-year-old John was terribly spoiled. His father knew it, but his grandma doted on him. He hardly left her side. And when he wanted anything, he either cried or threw a temper tantrum.

Then came his first day of school, his first day away from his grandmother's loving arms.

When he came home from school his grandma met him at the door.

Was school all right? she asked, "Did you get along all right? Did you cry?"

Cry? John asked. "No, I didn't cry, but the teacher did!"

解析 　這是一個由時間副詞then引出的完全倒裝句。倒裝是將語句中的主語、謂語、賓語、狀語等顛倒順序的一種語法現(xiàn)象，用于表示一定的句子結(jié)構(gòu)或強調(diào)某一句子成分。完全倒裝是將句子中的謂語動詞全部置于主語之前。此結(jié)構(gòu)通常只用于一般現(xiàn)在時和一般過去時。例如：Then came the bus. 那時公交車來了。

Here is your book. 你的書。
