涉及only的倒裝及考題分析

按英語習慣同，當“only+狀語”位于句首時，其后句子要用部分倒裝。如：

Only then did he realize that he was wrong. 到那時他才意識到他錯了。

Only in this way are you able to do it well.  你只有用這種方法才能把它做好。

Only in this way can our honour be saved. 只有這樣，才能保住我們的榮譽。

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

Only after her death was I able to appreciate her. 只有到她死后我才認識到她的價值。

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

Only in this way can we learn English. 只有這樣才能學會英語(from www.hz123456.com)。

The pilot reassured the passengers. Only then did I realize how dangerous the situation had been. 飛機駕駛員要乘客們放心，這時我才明白剛才的情況有多危險。

Only by shouting was he able to make himself heard.  他只有叫喊才能讓別人聽到他。

Only when we landed did we see how badly the plane had been damaged. 我們只是在著陸之后才看到飛機損壞的嚴重程度。

2. Only after my friend came _________.
