The Beginning
1、当“only+状语”位于句首时,其后习惯上要用部分倒装。其中,only后的状语可以是副词、介词短语、从句等。(1)Only in this way can we learn English. 只有这样才能学会英语。(2)Only then did I understand what she meant. 只有到那时我才明白她的意思。(3)Only by shouting was he able to make himself heard. 他只有叫喊才能让别人听到他。注意,在only后作状语的是从句时,从句不要用倒装,要部分倒装的是主句。
2、在句首的only如果后面跟了副词、介词短语或从句等状语,则主句用倒装结构。如only后跟的是主语,就不用倒装结构了。例如:(1)Only when the war was over in 1918 was he able to get back to work.(2)Only in this way can you learn English well.(3)Only after a bitter struggle was the aim achieved.
3、注意,only和所修饰的状语如果不在句首,则不倒装。如:The boy was helped out only when his father arrived in a hurry.Only then did he realize the importance of English只有在那时候他才意识到英语的重要性。
