Ali and Baba grew up together as childhood playmates--at least until polio crippled Ali's leg--just like Hassan and I grew up a generation later.
Baba was always telling us about the mischief he and Ali used to cause, and Ali would shake his head and say, "But, Agha sahib, tell them who was the architect of the mischief and who the poor laborer?Baba would laugh and throw his arm around Ali.But in none of his stories did Baba ever refer to Ali as his friend.
阿里和爸爸一起長大，他們小時候也是玩伴——至少直到小兒麻痺症令阿里腿患殘疾，就像一個時代之後哈桑和我共同長大那樣。
爸爸總是跟我們說起他和阿里的惡作劇，阿里會搖搖頭，說：「可是，老爺，告訴他們誰是那些惡作劇的設計師，誰又是可憐的苦工。」爸爸會開懷大笑，伸手攬住阿里。 不過爸爸說起這些故事的時候，從來沒有提到阿里是他的朋友。
But in none of his stories did Baba ever refer to Ali as his friend.
今天，我們來重點討論一下倒裝句。
英語當中的倒裝有兩種：
一種是語法倒裝，出於語法上的需要，有強制性。例如：
Here comes the bus.
另一種是修辭倒裝，出於某種修辭的需要，如強調、平衡、銜接、描繪等採用的倒裝。文章中的這句話，屬於強調句子成分的倒裝。當否定詞和一些表示否定意義的詞或短語置於句首時，包含該詞或短語的句子用部分倒裝。例如：
In no case have I noticed that phenomenon.
Never have I seen such a splendid building.
