?否定或近似否定副詞(往往是時間或頻度副詞,如never, rarely, seldom),或是具有否定作用的副詞,如 little, on no account 等。如:

  Never / Seldom has there been so much protest against the Bomb.

  這么強烈的反對原子彈的抗議活動從未 / 很少 / 有過。

  Little does he realize how important this meeting is.

  他對這個會議的重要性不甚了了。

  On no account must you accept any money if he offers it.

  他如要給你錢,你可絕不能接受。

  當(dāng)這種副詞不在句首時,當(dāng)然應(yīng)該用正常詞序:

  There has never / seldom been so much protest against the Bomb.

  從未 / 很少發(fā)生過這么強烈的反對原子彈的抗議活動。

  He little realizes how important this meeting is.

  他不甚明白這個會議的重要性。

  另外,有些含有否定意義的介詞短語置于句首時,其后也要用倒裝。如:

  In no case should you give up. 你絕不能放棄。

  On no condition should we tell her about it. 我們絕不能把此事告訴她。

  On no accounts must this switch be touched.這個開關(guān)是絕 不能觸摸的。

  In [Under] no circumstances will I lend money to him.無論如何我也不會再借錢給他了。

  Under no circumstances should you lend him any money. 你無論如何都不該把錢借給他。

  No way will I go on working for that man. 我不再給那個人工作了。
