否定副词置于句首的倒装
原则上说，当表示否定意义的副词（如little, hardly, nowhere, scarcely, rarely, seldom, never等）置于句首时，其后的句子要用部分倒装的形式。如：
Little does he care whether we live or die. 他才不会在乎我们的死活。
Hardly had she arrived when it began to snow. 她刚到就下起雪来了。
Never before have I met such a strange person. 以前我从未见过这样古怪的人。
Nowhere will you find better roses than these. 哪儿你也找不到比这更好的玫瑰了。
Scarcely had they got back before the phone went. 他们一回到家，电话铃声就响了。
Seldom has there been such a happy meeting. 过去很少有过这样愉快的会议。
Rarely have I seen such a beautiful sunset. 我很少见到这样美丽的日落。
