问

As the old cock crows, so crows the young. (Prov)

请分析句子的结构。另外 so crows the young 中的主语和谓语必须倒装吗？

答

这是一种主从复合句，as引导从句，so引导主句。它和just as... so的意义和用法相同。so主句中的主语和谓语既可倒装，亦可不倒装，但后者用得比较普遍。

$\left\{\begin{aligned}\text{As you sow, so shall you reap. (Prov)}\\ \text{As a man sows, so he shall reap. (Prov)}\\ \text{种瓜得瓜, 种豆得豆。}\end{aligned}\right.$

As you brew, so shall you drink.

$\left\{\begin{array}{l} As you brew, so you must drink. \\ 自己酿的酸酒自己喝(自作自受)。\end{array}\right.$

因此看来,下面的试题是有片面性的(给的答案为 A,其实 B 也是正确的): As after his death, he defeated the force of injustice ____ the position in art that had been kept from during his life. A. so did he gain B. so he gained C. and he gained D. and gained(《大学英语》,1996年第12期,p.95)
