大学英语四级语法精要：部分倒装

部分倒装

在部分倒装的句子中只是谓语中的一部分(如助动词, 情态动词, 或系动词be等)放在主语前面, 其余部分仍在主语后面:

under no circumstances must a soldier leave his post.

i couldn’t answer the question. nor could anyone else in our class.

only in this way is it possible to accomplish the above-mentioned glorious task.

句首状语若由 only + 副词, only + 介词词组, only + 状语从句构成, 引起局部倒装:

only yesterday did he find out that his watch was missing.

only through sheer luck did he manage to get some tickets.

only because there were some cancelled bookings did he get some tickets in the end.

有not only开头的句子或分句, 往往引起局部倒装:

not only did he complain about the food, he also refused to pay for it.

not only did the garage overcharge me, but they hadn’t done a very good repair job either.

当句首状语为 never, little, not only, not until, hardly, scarcely等否定词或有否定意义的词语时, 一般引起部分倒装.

no longer are they staying with us.

no sooner had he arrived there than he fell ill.

under no circumstances could i agree to such a principle.
