副词only+状语(副词/介词短语/状语从句)放 在句首强调时，主句要进行部分倒装。如果被 only所强调的状语为状语从句，该状语从句不倒 装, 只对主句进行倒装。 例如： 1. Only in a big city was it possible to buy a new wheelchair. 只有在大城市里才能买到新轮椅。 2.Only when we had studied the data again did we realize that there was a mistake. 只有当我们再次 研究了这些数据的时候， 我们才意识到出了一个 错。 3.

［考题5］ Only then ____ how much damage had been caused. (2006陕西) A. she realized B. she had realized C. had she realized D. did she realize ［解析］ 放于句首的only修饰时间状语then时， 主句应进行部分倒装， 而且主句中“她意识 到……”这一过去的动作对应的是“已导致损失” 这一发生得更早的动作， 所以下划线应与后面 宾语从句中的过去完成时相呼应， 采用一般过 去时的形式， 据此可以分别排除选项A、 B和C 而选出D。
［考题3］ ____ can you expect to get a rise. (2001北京、 安徽春) A.With hard work B. Although work hard C. Only with hard work D. Now that he works hard ［解析］ 题干中句子的结构显然为部分倒装语 序， 四个选项中只有C选项修饰方式状语with hard work的only可以引导倒装句， 因此本题 应选C。
［考题2］ Only in this way ____ to make improvements in the operating system. (2003上海春) A. you can hope B. you did hope C. can you hope D. did you hope
［解析］ only在题干中放于句首并修饰方式状 语in this way， 全句应进行部分倒装。又由于 该句不是介绍过去的情况而是表述现实的一种 状况， 所以不应采用一般过去时， 本题应选C。
5.只有那时候他才明白生命的价值。 Only then did he realize the value of life. 6.只有在他死后他的作品才被人知道。
Only after his death/Only after he died
were his works known.
7.只要你努力你就会取得成功。
注意： 如果放于句首的only所修饰的不是状语 时， 该句不用倒装。
例如：只有约翰能够救我。 Only John can save me. 只有几个孩子通过了考试。 Only some of the children passed the examination.
