问题: So selfish was she that everyone avoid talking wit

为什么是部分倒装,不是完全倒装?

解答:

So+ adj.+谓语开头构成部分倒装,原句型是so...that...解释为如此。。以至于。。

部分倒装即只把谓语的一部分(如助动词、情态动词等)放到主语前,或把句子的强调成分提前。
a) 当so表示“也,相同,那样”时,通常表示对前一句肯定句的赞同、一致内容,要求使用完全倒装句:
例:I asked him to complete the experiment before five, so he did (=and he did that).(我让他在5点以前完成实验,他做到了。)
b) so /such ……that句型可以构成部分倒装句,表示强调so /such和that之间的部分:
例:So unreasonable was his price that everybody startled.(他的要价如此之高,令每个人都瞠目结舌。)
To such length did she go in rehearsal that the two actors walked out.(她的彩排进行得那么长,以致于两个演员都走出去了。)
