not only...but also 用于句首为何不倒装
当not only…but also连接两个句子，且将not only用于句首时，not only后面的句子应该用部分倒装。如：
Not only has she been late three times, she has also done no work. 她不仅仅迟到了3次，她还没干一点活。
但是下面这个句子为什么没有倒装？
Not only the students were tired, but the teacher, too. 不仅学生累了，老师也不累了。

▲ 这是个很好的问题。正如你所说，当not only…but also连接两个句子，且将not only用于句首时，not only后面的句子应该用部分倒装。这主要是为了强调。再如：
Not only has she been late three times, shehas also done no work. 她不仅仅迟到了3次，她还没干一点活。
Not only do they need clothing, but theyare also short of water. 他们不但需要衣服，而且还缺水。
▲ 不过有时也可见到不倒装的情形，正如你所疑问的句子那样。注意：此时主要见于上下文主语不一致；but also后接省略结构的情况（省略只剩下主语）：
Not only the students were tired, but theteacher, too. 不仅学生们累了，老师也一样。
Not only my mother was unhappy, but Marian,too. 不仅我母亲不快乐，玛丽安也不快乐。
▲为什么呢？这是因为省略以后，后一部分主语实际上可以被看做前一句主语的并列主语之故。换言之，后一部分一律可前置：
Not only my mother was unhappy, but Marian,too. = Not only my mother but also Mary was unhappy.不仅我母亲不快乐，玛丽安也不快乐。
Not only the students were tired, but theteacher, too. = Not only the students but also the teacher was tired. 不仅学生们累了，老师也一样。
