这是一个倒装的 there be 句型,正常语序是:

请问可以这样表达吗?为什么?

请问可以这样表达吗?为什么?
回答如下:
(1)There be句型已经是个倒装句了,是不可以那样说
(2)带地点状语以及主语超级长为了保持句子平衡可以地点状语提前变为倒装,请看下面句子
An old man with a fan in his hand sat in front of the house
In front of the house sat an old man with a fan in his hand
(3)地点状语提前时,为了保持句子平衡且谓语动词为be, stand, sit,lie,come等动词时候,整个句子需要倒装.
【结构为:介词词短语+谓语动词+主语】

=A young man with magazine in his hand sat by the window.
From a speaker on the wall comes the doctor’s voice.
On the ground lay a goat.
Outside the room sits a little dog.
