”only＋状语“倒装知识点归纳例题分析

“only+状语”类倒装的归纳

我们先来看一道考题：

Only in this way __________ able to finish the work in time.

A. can you be B. are you C. you can be D. you are

此题应选B。容易误选D。至于A，C，这比较容易排除，因为情态动词can 不能与be able to用在同一谓语中。本题之所以要选B而不选D，主要是因为句首用了only in this way 的缘故，按照英语语法规则：“only+状语”位于句首，句子通常要用倒装语序(部分倒装——用一般疑问句形式)：

1. “only+副词”位于句首：

Only then did I realize that I was wrong. 只是到了那时我才意识到是我错了。

Only by shouting was he able to make himself heard. 他只有叫喊才能让别人听到他。

The pilot reassured the passengers. Only then did I realize how dangerous the situation had been. 飞机驾驶员要乘客们放心，这时我才明白刚才的情况有多危险。

2. “only+介词短语”位于句首：

Only by working hard can you succeed. 只有努力工作你才能成功。

Only in the reading-room can you find him. 你只有在阅览室才能找到他。

3. “only+状语从句”位于句首：

Only after she died was I able to appreciate her. 只有到她死后我才认识到她的价值。

Only when one loses freedom does one know its value. 一个人只有在失去自由后才知道自由的可贵。

注意：若位于句首的不是only+状语，而是only+宾语等，则通常无需倒装(但有时也可以倒装)：

Only a policeman the children saw in the street. 孩子们在街上只看到一个警察。

Only one more point will I make. 我只再说明一点。

涉及only的倒装及考题分析

按英语习惯同，当“only+状语”位于句首时，其后句子要用部分倒装。如：

Only then did he realize that he was wrong. 到那时他才意识到他错了。

Only in this way are you able to do it well. 你只有用这种方法才能把它做好。

Only in this way can our honour be saved. 只有这样，才能保住我们的荣誉。

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

Only after her death was I able to appreciate her. 只有到她死后我才认识到她的价值。

Only when he returned home did he realize what had happened. 当他回到家里时,才知道出了什么事。

Only in this way can we learn English. 只有这样才能学会英语(from www.yygrammar.com)。

The pilot reassured the passengers. Only then did I realize how dangerous the situation had been. 飞机驾驶员要乘客们放心，这时我才明白刚才的情况有多危险。

Only by shouting was he able to make himself heard. 他只有叫喊才能让别人听到他。

【典型考题】(答案分别为DC)

1. Only then _________ how much damage had been caused.

A. she realized B. she had realized

C. had she realized D. did she realize

2. Only after my friend came _________.

A. did the computer repaired B. be repaired the computer

C. was the computer repaired D. the computer was repaired

特别说明：有时命题者不是利用位于句首的“only+状语”来考查倒装，而是倒过来，利用给定的倒装结构来考查对only的选择。如下面一题(答案选A)：

_________ by keeping down costs will Power Data hold its advantage over other companies.

A. Only B. Just C. Still D. Yet

当“only＋状语”位于句首时，其后习惯上要用部分倒装。其中，only后的状语可以是副词、介词短语、从句等。

Only in this way can we learn English. 只有这样才能学会英语。

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

Only by shouting was he able to make himself heard. 他只有叫喊才能让别人听到他。

注意，在only后作状语的是从句时，从句不要用倒装，要部分倒装的是主句。如：

Only when it rains do you feel cool. 只有下雨时才觉得凉爽一点。

Only when he returned home did he realize what had happened. 当他回到家里时，才知道出了什么事。

Only when we landed did we see how badly the plane had been damaged. 我们只是在着陆之后才看到飞机损坏的严重程度。
