［C］ benefits which she brings ［D］ .

注意：上述有些词如only虽然位于句子的开头，但它们作形容词用不是修饰介词短语或状语从句，而是修饰名词或代词则句子不需倒装：Only he managed to pass the exam. 只有他设法通过了考试。

二、以表示否定的副词开始的句子需要倒装

1. 常见的否定副词有never, little, nowhere, not only(…but also, as well), not until, nowhere, hardly, scarcely, rarely, not once, seldom, no sooner

4) France Viuard an excellent political speaker but she was also among the first members of the populist party.

［A］ Not only
［B］ If only
［C］ Only
［D］ Not only was

5) At ［A］ no time China will ［B］ be the first ［C］ to use unclear weapons ［D］ .
6) Never the world has ［A］ seen so many nations cooperating ［B］ in such a ［C］ worthy ［D］ venture.

2. 但是，否定副词如果只是限定句子主语而非修饰谓语或全句，则句子不必倒装

Hardly anyone has seen a man who eats ants. 还没有人发现人吃蚂蚁。

3. 此外，某些否定词，如no 、not,修饰主语而不是作状语时，句子也不必倒装

No survivor has yet been found. 还没有发现幸存者。

Not all that glitters is gold. 不是闪光的东西都是金的。

7) Not on dry land.

［A］ are all valleys
［B］ valleys all are
［C］ valleys are all
［D］ all valleys are

4. 但当“not a和many a ＋名词”位于句首时，要用倒装语序

Not a word did he say at the meeting. 会上他一句话也没说。

Many a time has the manager emphasized this point. 经理多次强调这一点。

5. barely、hardly、scarcely和when、before连用，no sooner和than连用，它们位于句首时，为固定的倒装结构，表示一件事紧接着另一件事发生，相当于汉语的“一……就……”。但在时态上，主句一般用过去完成时而从句(when, before或than引导)用过去时。

但表示一般情况时，主句也可用现在完成时，从句用一般现在时

Scarcely has a foreigner set foot in the United States before they ask him what he thinks of the country. 外国人刚去美国，他们就会问他对该国有什么看法。

No sooner had I left the house than it began to rain. 我刚离开屋子天就下起雨来。

8) Scarcely had they settled themselves in their seats in the theatre the curtain went up. (81年考题)
