牛津實用英語語法 45 某些副詞之后的倒裝
某些副詞和副詞短語,主要是一些含有限定或否定意義的副詞和副詞短語,為了表示強調可放在句首,這時后面應跟動詞的倒裝(即疑問)形式。這類副詞或副詞短語中最重要的有:
hardly ever
on no account
hardlywhen
only by
in no circumstances
only in this way
only then/when
never
scarcely ever
no soonerthan
scarcelywhen
not only
seldom
not till
so
nowhere
例句如:
I havent got a ticket.
Neither/Nor have I.
我沒有票。
我也沒有。
I had never before been asked to accept a bribe.相當于:
Never before had I been asked to accept a bribe.
以前從來沒有人試圖向我行賄。
They not only rob you,they smash everything too.相當于:
Not only do they rob you,they smash everything too.
他們不僅搶劫你,而且砸爛所有的東西。
He didnt realize that he had lost it till he got home.相當于:
Not till he got home did he realize that he had lost it.
一直到了家,他才發覺那東西丟了。
This switch must not be touched on any account.相當于:
On no account must this switch be touched.
這個開關嚴禁觸摸。
He was able to make himself heard only by shouting.相當于:
Only by shouting was he able to make himself heard.
他只有叫喊才能讓別人聽到他。
He became so suspicious that相當于:
So suspicious did he become that

注意:在一個句子中,第二個否定動詞有時可以用nor來表達,并跟倒裝語序:
He had no money and didnt know anyone he could borrow from.
He had no money,nor did he know anyone he could borrow from.
他身無分文,也不認識任何可以借錢的人。(neither在這兒不太常用。)(關于副詞和副詞短語后跟動詞的倒裝語序和作主語的名詞的情況,如Up went the rocket火箭直升飛起, By the door stoodan armed guard門口站著一名手持武器的士兵
