揭秘 no sooner, hardly, rarely 等否定副词引导的部分倒装结构,让你的英语表达更加正式严谨。
🔍 一、何为“否定副词倒装”?
否定副词置于句首时,为了突出语义或强调,句子主谓顺序会发生变化,即谓语(助动词)提前,即 部分倒装。
🧩 二、常见否定副词触发倒装的结构
否定副词 | 释义 | 示例句型(倒装) |
---|---|---|
No sooner…than | 一…就… | ❗ No sooner had he arrived than it started to rain. |
Hardly…when | 刚…就… | ❗ Hardly had she spoken when he interrupted. |
Seldom / Rarely / Never | 很少/从未 | ❗ Rarely do we see such talent. |
Little | 几乎不 | ❗ Little did they know what was coming. |
Not only…but also | 不仅…而且…(常用于连接两个倒装结构) | ❗ Not only did he win, but he also broke the record. |
🧠 三、结构拆解与用法讲解
✅ No sooner…than(+过去完成时)
结构:
No sooner + had + 主语 + 过去分词 + than + 主句(一般过去时)
例句:
- No sooner had I closed the door than someone knocked.
🔍 表达强调动作发生得非常快。
✅ Hardly / Scarcely…when
结构相似:
- Hardly had we sat down when the phone rang.
⚠️ 注意不能与“than”混用,需用 when。
✅ Rarely / Seldom / Never 引导倒装
这类副词用于句首时,需要将助动词提前:
- Rarely do I eat out.
- Never have I seen such a view.

⚠️ 四、典型错误对比
❌ 错误表达 | ✅ 正确表达 | 原因说明 |
---|---|---|
No sooner I had arrived than it rained. | No sooner had I arrived than it rained. | 否定副词句首需部分倒装 |
Seldom I go to the cinema. | Seldom do I go to the cinema. | 助动词 do 需前置 |
Hardly had we arrived than it rained. | Hardly had we arrived when it rained. | than 使用错误,应为 when |
