副詞only置于句首,強(qiáng)調(diào)方式狀語(yǔ)、 條件狀語(yǔ)、 地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)、 時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)等狀語(yǔ)時(shí),主句要進(jìn)行部分倒裝.如果被only所強(qiáng)調(diào)的狀語(yǔ)為狀語(yǔ)從句,該狀語(yǔ)從句不倒裝,只對(duì)主句進(jìn)行倒裝.
例如：Only in a big city was it possible to buy a new wheelchair.只有在大城市里才能買(mǎi)到新輪椅.
Only when we had studied the data again did we realize that there was a mistake.只有當(dāng)我們?cè)俅窝芯苛诉@些數(shù)據(jù)的時(shí)候,我們才意識(shí)到出了一個(gè)錯(cuò).
Only because there were some cancelled bookings did he get some tickets in the end.一些預(yù)訂被取消了,他才得以買(mǎi)到了幾張票.
注意：如果放于句首的only所修飾的不是狀語(yǔ)時(shí),該句不用倒裝.
例如：Only John can save me.只有約翰能夠救我.
Only some of the children passed the examination.只有幾個(gè)孩子通過(guò)了考試.
