当表示强调的do与副词连用时,哪个放前面,哪个放后面?比如:
我在那儿的确从没见到他。
I never did see him there.
I did never see him there.
【答】应该说第一句:I never did see him there. 我在那儿从未见过他。
助动词do, does, did 可以放在原形动词前,表示强调这个动作。如果跟否定词never 连用,应把never 放在did 之前。一般而言,频度副词如always, often, usually, hardly, never 等应放在助动词(包括情态动词)和实意动词之间,但是,本句由于强调否定语气,所以,按照“强调什么,先说什么”的原则,因此,把never 放在did 之前~!
又如:
1. To my shame, I never did help them.
我感到惭愧的是, 我从来没有帮助过他们。

5. I never did know this man.
我从来都不认识这个人。
I’ve been grateful ever since that I never did get to Berlin on that trip; the atmosphere there was unique.

6. I liked the feeling and I never did grow out of it.
我不仅喜欢那种感觉,而且也从来没有从那种状态走出来。
7. "I never did have a tremendous desire to win, " he confessed.
他承认:“对于胜利,我从来没有过极度的渴望。”

首先,I did see him there这样的句子中,do是一个助动词。一般规律是这样的:副词放在助动词之后,实意动词之前;但是如果重音落在助动词上,则更常将副词放在助动词之前:I never did see him there.
因为never是一个否定意义的副词,所以另一种强调方法是把never提到句首,然后主语—助动词倒装:Never did I see him there.
我搜索了Corpus of Contemporary American English,搜索I never did得到943条结果,搜索I did never只得到4条结果,搜索Never did I得到64条结果,说明I never did和Never did I都可以用,而I did never最好避免。
