【not only but also 的倒装句型】在英语语法中,“not only... but also...” 是一个常见的并列结构,用于强调两个并列的成分。当这个结构位于句首时,为了强调或使句子更正式,常常会使用倒装语序。这种倒装句型在书面语和正式场合中较为常见。
一、基本用法
“not only... but also...” 的正常语序为:
> He not only studies English but also plays the piano.
当将 “not only... but also...” 放在句首时,句子需要进行倒装:
> Not only does he study English, but also he plays the piano.
二、倒装规则
1. 主语和助动词/情态动词的位置交换
如果主语是代词(如 he, she, they)或名词,且句子中有助动词(如 do, does, did, can, will 等),则需将助动词提前到主语前。
2. 没有助动词时
如果原句中没有助动词或情态动词,则需要用 “do” 来构成倒装结构。
三、常见例句对比
正常语序 | 倒装语序 |
She not only sings, but also dances. | Not only does she sing, but also she dances. |
They not only passed the exam, but also got a scholarship. | Not only did they pass the exam, but also they got a scholarship. |
He not only speaks French, but also writes it well. | Not only does he speak French, but also he writes it well. |
I not only like coffee, but also tea. | Not only do I like coffee, but also I like tea. |
四、注意事项
- 倒装只发生在 “not only... but also...” 位于句首时。
- “not only... but also...” 后面的两个部分应保持一致的语法结构(如都是动词原形、都是名词等)。
- 在口语中,倒装结构较少使用,更多出现在书面语中。
