题目解答
答案
1. 根据“几乎不”用“Hardly/Scarcely”引导部分倒装,完整句为:
Hardly did he know that the man he talked to just now was a well-known actor.
(或:Scarcely did he know...)
2. 使用“No sooner...than...”结构:
No sooner had I washed my car than it began to rain heavily.
(或:No sooner had I washed the car...)
3. “Neither/Nor”引导倒装:
They will not complain about it anymore; neither/nor will they tell others what they have gone through.
(或:neither/nor will they tell anybody...)
4. “Only”引导条件状语从句,主句部分倒装:
Only when you stick to your original aspiration can you realize your dream.
(或:can you achieve your dream.)
5. 主句部分倒装:
Only if Peter agrees to handle the packaging problems will I continue with this challenging research.
(或:will I proceed with this challenging study.)
最终答案:
1. Hardly did he know that the man he talked to just now was a well-known actor.
(或:Scarcely did he know...)
2. No sooner had I washed my car than it began to rain heavily.
(或:No sooner had I washed the car...)
3. They will not complain about it anymore; neither/nor will they tell others what they have gone through.
(或:neither/nor will they tell anybody...)
4. Only when you stick to your original aspiration can you realize your dream.
(或:can you achieve your dream.)
5. Only if Peter agrees to handle the packaging problems will I continue with this challenging research.
(或:will I proceed with this challenging study.)
解析
本题主要考查英语中倒装结构的运用,包括否定词引导的倒装、“no sooner...than...”结构、“neither/nor”引导的倒装以及“only”引导状语从句时主句的倒装。以下是每道题的详细解析:
- “他几乎不知道”,在英语中,“几乎不”常用“hardly”或“scarcely”来表达,当它们位于句首时,句子要使用部分倒装结构,即把助动词、情态动词或系动词提到主语前面。本句时态为一般过去时,所以借助助动词“did”,将其提到主语“he”前面,动词“know”用原形。因此,句子为“Hardly did he know that the man he talked to just now was a well - known actor.” 或者 “Scarcely did he know...”。
- “我刚洗了车”,这里需要使用“no sooner...than...”结构,表示“一……就……”。当“no sooner”位于句首时,“no sooner”后面的句子要用部分倒装结构,且时态通常为过去完成时,即“had + 过去分词”。所以“我刚洗了车”可表达为“No sooner had I washed my car”,后面接“than it began to rain heavily”。也可以用 “No sooner had I washed the car...”。
- “他们也不会告诉别人”,当表示前面所说的否定情况也适用于另一个人或事物时,常用“neither/nor + 助动词/情态动词/系动词 + 主语”的结构。本句前面句子用的是一般将来时,所以这里用“neither/nor will they tell others” 或者 “neither/nor will they tell anybody”。
- “Only when you stick to your original aspiration”,“only + 时间状语从句”位于句首时,主句要用部分倒装结构。本句时态为一般将来时,借助助动词“will”,将其提到主语“you”前面,“realize”或“achieve”都有“实现”的意思,所以句子为“Only when you stick to your original aspiration can you realize your dream.” 或者 “can you achieve your dream.”。
- “Only if Peter agrees to handle the packaging problems”,“only + 条件状语从句”位于句首时,主句要用部分倒装结构。本句时态为一般将来时,借助助动词“will”,将其提到主语“I”前面,“continue with”和“proceed with”都有“继续进行”的意思,“research”和“study”都可表示“研究”,所以句子为“Only if Peter agrees to handle the packaging problems will I continue with this challenging research.” 或者 “will I proceed with this challenging study.”。
