否定副词位于句首的倒装句
Marker sentence:
Little do the thousands of people who walk past everyday realize but behind this nondescript blue door on Greek Street lies a clandestine underground drinking club.
每天从这里经过的千百人中,鲜少有人注意到,希腊街这扇平庸的小门之后是一家秘密的地下酒吧。
在含有否定副词的句子当中,如never,seldom, rarely, little, hardly, scarcely,no sooner, no longer, nowhere 等这些含有否定意义的副词位于句首时,则其后要用部分倒装。
Never shall I believe him.
我永远不会相信他。
Hardly does she have time to go shopping with her friends.
她几乎没时间和她的朋友一起购物。
Seldom does he do work at late night.他很少在深夜工作。
例句中little位于句首,因此后面句子要用部分倒装的结构,将助动词do提前,主语the thousands of people who walk past everyday置后。
Little did he know what lay in store for him
他几乎一点儿也不知道等待他的将会是什么。
当not until...位于句首时,其后的主句要用倒装语序:
He didn't leave the bus stop until the rain stopped. / Not until the rain stopped did he leave the bus stop.
雨停了之后他才离开车站。
