“On Nov. 3 (or, hopefully, sooner after), we will finally get an answer to
the question of what these past four discombobulating years have meant,”
writes TIME’s national political correspondent Molly Ball.
[修辞解析]
这句乍看之下，感觉不太合语法。某件事怎么能 “writes”政治记者呢? 是作者笔误
呢? 还是拟人法呢? 答案是以上皆非，这句运用的是倒装。倒装句有多种类型，我们最熟
悉的是疑问句的倒装。如: “Where are you going?” 该句中，主词you和动词are倒装
，而成为问句。
而本句所运用的倒装是属直接引句的倒装。这句话原本应为:
TIME’s national political correspondent Molly Ball writes “On Nov. 3 (or,
hopefully, sooner after), we will finally get an answer to the question of
what these past four discombobulating years have meant.” 将直接引句 “On
Nov. 3…” (受词)倒装到句首，同时与受词相关的动词也一起挪到主词 “TIME’s
national …” 前面。这里使用倒装的原因是，对读者来说，报导的内容比起报导人更为
重要，因而将引用句挪至句首。
