幾類常見的部分倒裝句類型

   1. 否定型倒裝

在正式文體中，如果將never, seldom, rarely, little, hardly, scarcely, no sooner, no longer, nowhere 等含有否定意義的副詞若位於句首，則其後的句子要用部分倒裝。如：

後來我再也沒見到過他了。

I never saw him again.

→Never did I see him again.

他很少出去吃飯。

He seldom goes out for dinner.

→Seldom does he go out for dinner.

她幾乎沒時間聽音樂。

She hardly has time to listen to music.

→Hardly does she have time to listen to music.

他幾乎沒有認識到他面臨的危險。

He little realized the danger he faced.

→Little did he realize the danger he faced.

對於not…until句型，當not until…位於句首時，其後的主句要用倒裝語序。如：

雨停了之後他才離開這房間。

He didn’t leave the room until the rain stopped.

→Not until the rain stopped did he leave the room.

某些起副詞作用的介詞短語，由於含有否定詞，若位於句首，其後要用部分倒裝。如：

On no accounts must this switch be touched. 這個開關是絕不能觸摸的。

In [Under] no circumstances will I lend money to him.無論如何我也不會再借錢給他了。

2. only型倒裝

當一個狀語受副詞only的修飾且置於句首時，其後用部分倒裝語序。如：

Only in this way can we learn English. 只有這樣才能學會英語。

Only then did I understand what she meant. 只有到那時我才明白她的意思。

Only for the love of his family does he do such hard work. 只爲了他對家庭的愛，他做這麼辛苦的工作。

3. so型倒裝

當副詞so後接形容詞或副詞位於句首時，其後通常用部分倒裝。如：

So cold was the weather that we had to stay at home. 天氣太冷，我們只好呆在家裏。

So fast does light travel that we can hardly imagine its speed. 光速很快，我們幾乎沒法想象它的速度。

So sudden was the attack that we had no time to escape. 襲擊來得非常突然，我們來不及逃跑。

以so開頭的句子還有這樣一種倒裝——表示前面提出的某一肯定的情況也同樣適合於後者，這類倒裝的基本結構是“so+助動詞+主語”。如：

You are young and so am I. 你年輕，我也年輕。

She likes music and so do I. 她喜歡音樂，我也喜歡。

If he can do it, so can I. 要是他能做此事，我也能。

4. not only型倒裝

當not only…but also位於句首引出句子時，not only 後的句子通常用部分倒裝形式。如：

Not only is he a teacher, but he is also a poet. 他不僅是一位教師，而且是一位詩人。

Not only did he speak more correctly, but he spoke more easily. 不僅他講得更正確，也講得更不費勁了。
