think only of himself中only的用法

I was the man with the gun, the man who had to think. Each of the others could afford to think only of himself; I had to think of them all.

1. to think only of himself 的 only 在句中是副词修饰 think of 还是修饰of?

2. 可以变成 to only think of himself 吗?这两者有什么区别呢

only属于焦点副词,在句中作焦点下加状语中的限制语,即表示话语的适用范围排他性地限制于被强调的成分。only强调哪个成分,就置于哪个成分之前。think在此句中是不及物动词,介词短语of sb是think的对象状语。only这个焦点副词将think的对象限制在of himself这个范围。only的位置不同,则限制的内容不同。如果放在think前,则成了限制think, 意为,主语只think,不做其他事。从后面一句可知,这里only限制的是think的对象,而不是think这个动作本身,因此only要放在of himself之前。
