only 后接“状语”位于句首时,句子必须倒装。如:
Only then did she tell him about the attack. 直到那时她才把袭击的事告诉他。
Only in Paris do you find bars like this. 你只有在巴黎才可会找到这样的酒吧。
另外,如果 only 后面接的是“主语”的话,那就不存在倒装不倒装。如:
Only two men were saved. 仅有两个男人获救了。
Only Tom knows the answer. 只有汤姆知道答案。
但如果是only后接“宾语”位于句首呢?要不要装?
比如:He bought only one dictionary. 若要强调宾语,将 only one dictionary 置于句首:
是 Only one dictionary he bought. 还是 Only one dictionary did he buy.
夸克等人合著的《英语语法大全》认为:当 only 强调的不是主语,而是前移的句首成分时,有时候它后面可以(但并非必须)跟倒装的主语和功能词:
Only his mother will he obey.
Only his mother he will obey.
所以网友问题中的句子,若将 only one dictionary 置于句首,后面的句子可以倒装也可以不倒装:
He bought only one dictionary.
→Only one dictionary he bought.
→Only one dictionary did he buy.
