強調と譲歩のための前置

Fronting for emphasis and concession

強調するために語を文頭に移し、Strange as it may seem のような形で譲歩を表しましょう。

英語は通常、主語を最初に置きますが、熟達した書き手は、強調、対比、前の文との滑らかなつながりを生むために、ある要素を文頭に置く（front（前置する））ことがあります。前置された構文にはinversion（倒置）が必要なものと、そうでないものがあります。

構造パターン例
Fronted place or direction + motion verbadverbial + verb + subjectDown the lane rolled the old cart.
Fronted complementcomplement + be + subjectKey to the plan is the support of the staff.
Fixed fronted phrasesgone / here / there + verbGone are the days of easy credit.
Concession with adjective, adverb or verbadjective + as / though + subject + verbStrange as it may seem, the quietest room was the busiest.
Concession with much / trymuch as; try as + subject + mightTry as he might, he could not open the lid.
Emphatic auxiliarysubject + do / does / did + base verbShe does deserve the prize.
Fronted object for contrastobject + subject + verbThat I cannot accept.

concessive fronting（譲歩の前置）では、形容詞、副詞、動詞が先頭に来て、その後にasまたはthoughが続きます。although は決して使いません：Hard though it was, Kofi admitted the mistake. muchの場合は、Much as I admire her courage, I cannot support the plan. と言います。beを使った倒置は、前置された補語の後にも現れます：Also important is the cost of training.

  • Up the steps ran the children, laughing loudly.
  • Here comes the bus at last!
  • Brave as the rescuers were, they could not enter the tunnel.
  • Not a single word of apology did she offer.
  • I rarely praise anyone, but Aiko really does deserve it.
