引起倒装的前置状语
当句首状语为否定词或带否定意义的词语时,一般引起局部倒装。这些词语常见的有:never, not for one minute, no longer, on no account, no more, nowhere else, at no time, hardly, scarcely, rarely, not for nothing等。例如:
Never have I found him in such a good mood.
句首状语若由“only+副词”、“only+介词词组”、“only+状语分句”构成,也可引起局部倒装。例如:
Only yesterday did he find out that his watch was missing.
以关联连词not only(but also)和so(...that)开头的句子,通常引起局部倒装。例如:
So small was the mark that I could hardly see it.
