否定意义的词放句首并不是都是倒装,只有否定意义的词放句首,且作状语才倒装,
如Nobody has figured it out.
再如 in no way could anyone figure it out.
第一句不倒装因为否定意义的词放句首,但不作状语,作主语。
你这句话,主要问题在于hardly修饰哪个词?
We hardly know each other. 我们彼此还不大认识呢。
= Hardly do we know each other.
Hardly a day goes by without my thinking of her.我几乎天天想着她。
类似地,你这句话,hardly修饰主语,不用倒装,Hardly anyone likes him.即可。
