Scarcely had she put down the receiver when the telephone rang again.
     但如果用于句中，则不必倒装。例如：
    I had no sooner left the house than it began to rain.
    4 ）当句首状语为表示地点的介词词组时，也常常需要倒装。倒如：
    At the side of the hill stood an old house.
    In this chapter will you find the answer to my question.
    5 ）当句首状语由 only+ 副词， only+ 介词词组， only+ 状语分句构成，也可以倒装。例如：
    Only yesterday did the new students come.
    Only with the help of his friends can Jim find a job.
    Only after they performed the experiment did they succeed in solving the problem.
    6 ）以关联词 so(...that) 开头的句子，通常引起倒装。在这种结构中， “so+ 形容词 ” 是表语的前置； “so+ 副词 ” 是状语的前置。例如：
    So cold was it at night that I could hardly fall asleep.
    So quickly did the workmen finish the work that they were given a bonus.
    4. 如果第一分句是肯定句，第二分句用 so+ 倒装结构；如果第一分句是否定句，第二分句用 neither/nor/no more+ 倒装结构。例如：
    I could not afford to eat in the restaurants, and nor could anyone I know.
    I have made the decision, and so has he.
    You haven't finished reading the book, no more have I.
     但是，如果第一句是肯定句，第二句用 so+ 主语 + 情态动词，则表示 “ 的确是这样 ” 。例如：
    It is said that Tom is clever, and so he is.
    5. 虚拟结构中倒装
     在虚拟结构的条件从句中，如果 if 被省略，那么 were, had 或 should 要移至主语之前，形成倒装结构。例如：
    Were he to start today, he would arrive there on Thursday.
    =If he were to start today, he would arrive there on Thursday.
    Had it not been for his kelp, we couldn't have overcome the difficulties.
    =If it had not been for his help, we couldn't have overcome the difficulties.
    Should it rain tomorrow, I would stay at home.
    =If it should rain tomorrow,I would stay at home.

6. 为了强调从句中的某个成分（通常为补语或状语）的倒装：将被强调成分放在句首，从句由连词 as, though 引导，但这时不用全倒装。例如：
    Old as he is, he still studies hard.
    =Though he is old, he still studies hard.
    Difficult as the task was, they managed to accomplish it in time.
    =Though the task was difficult, they managed to accomplish it in time.
     注意：
    1 ）否定副词如果只是限定句子主语而非修饰谓语或全句，则句子不必倒装。例如：
    Hardly anyone has ever been invited.
    2 ）某些否定词，如 no 或 not ，修饰主语而不是作状语时，句子也不必倒装。例如：
    No survivor has ever been found.     Not all that glitters is gold.
    Not all valleys are on dry land.
