never was 还是 was never 以及句序排列问题

I never was convinced by the whiter than white image of her portrayed in the press.

媒体上把她渲染成清纯的形象，我对此从来不信。

1）never was 还是应该 was never 呢?

2）上句是否等于= I never was convinced by the image of her portrayed whiter than white in the press. ？

1. never属于中位状语。如果句子中有操作词，通常操作词弱读。此时中位状语位于操作词之后。但有时为了强调而重读操作词，此时中位主语必须位于重读的操作词之前。

本句中never在was之前，was是重读的，表示强调。

比较下句的重读音音节：

I will 'never 'forget you.

I 'never 'will forget you.

2 原句中 the whiter than white和portrayed过去分词短语均为the image of her的限制性定语。不宜改为你改写的句子。

都对。never was 更强调“否定”意义。
