only在什麼情況下會引起句子倒裝呢?
一般來說,only引導的狀語位於句首時,會引起句子出現部分倒裝。
那什麼是部分倒裝呢?
將謂語的部分(如be,助動詞:do,does,did,have,has,had ...情態動詞:can,could,will,would,must,may,should ...)放於主語之前的倒裝句語序叫部分倒裝。
only引導的狀語位於句首主要有以下三種情況:
1)「only + 副詞」位於句首時
I realized that I was wrong only then
→Only thendidI realize that I was wrong.
只有到了那時我才意識到是我錯了。
2)「only +介詞短語」位於句首時
You can succeed only by working hard.
→ Only by working hard canyou succeed.
只有努力工作你才能成功。
He can find his girlfriend only in the reading room
→Only in the reading room canhe find his girlfriend.
只有在閱覽室他才能找到他女朋友。
3)「only + 狀語從句」位於句首時
I knew the truth only when I got there
→Only when I got there didI know the truth.
只有到那裡時我才知道事情的真相。
They made a decision only after they had discussed the matter
→Only after they had discussed the matterdidthey make a decision.
只有在他們討論完這個問題後,他們才做出決定。
