这个before的位置有什么讲究

And perhaps never before has it served so much to connect different peoples and nations as in the recent events in Europe.

答案对这个倒装句给的参考还原是it perhaps has never served so much before to connect different peoples and nations as it has served to connect different peoples and nations in the recent events in Europe.

想问问这个before在两个句式里为啥是这个位置的?

这是否定副词 never 提前句首构成倒装语序。

never 和 beore 原本位置是在助动词 has 之后,never 主要否定 before,所以挨在一起。原书改为正常语序时出错。正常的位置见黑体:

And perhaps it has never before served so much to connect different peoples and nations as in the recent events in Europe.
