English Grammar -Inversion with Negative Adverbials 否定副詞倒裝句

  ◇ Inversion with Negative Adverbials
否定副詞倒裝句


  英文中有許多「否定詞」,這些否定詞置於句首時,會形成一種倒裝句型。常見的否定詞有 not only、only、never、under no circumstances、in no way、seldom、hardly、rarely、scarcely 等。倒裝時,原句中的助動詞 (auxiliary verbs),包含 be 動詞,會與主詞位置互換。


Example:


1. Not only did he turn up late, but he also forgot his books.

  他不但遲到,還忘了帶書。


2. Rarely have I seen such a beautiful sunset.

  我很少見到這樣如此美麗的日落景致。


3. Under no circumstances should you approach the man.

  你無論如何都不應該聯絡那個男人。
