◇ Inversion with Negative Adverbials
否定副詞倒裝句
我們常會見到一些否定詞開頭的倒裝句型，有一個遊戲叫作 never have I ever...，就是這種句型最為經典的代表。否定副詞倒裝句，會將否定副詞或是片語置於句首，例如 hardly、barely、scarcely、rarely、no sooner、only if、only when、not since、not once、nowhere、seldom、little、under no circumstances、not only 等。再來，會將助動詞（should、could、is、were、did...）與主詞的位置對調，構成倒裝句。 Not only is that incredibly dangerous for those people, but prejudice doesn't actually prevent the spread of disease. 就是一個很好的範例。
Example：
1. Nowhere were those people more excited than in that stadium.
除了體育館，沒什麼地方可以讓那群人更興奮。
2. Not in a million years will I go back to that deserted house.
不管過了幾百萬年我都不會回到那間破舊的房子。
3. No sooner had the shop opened its door than the owner went bankrupt.
這家店一開張老闆就破產了。
