在学习英语六级的过程中,我们常遇到only与其它词或结构搭配来表达不同的意思,现将这些用法示例分享给大家,大家可以作为参考。

一、only引导的'词组或句子放在句首作状语时,通常要用倒装结构。

如  Only in this way can you solve the problem.  只有通过这种方式你才能解决问题。

Only if you study hard can you pass the exam.  只有努力学习才能通过考试。

Only then did I realize my mistake.  只有那时我才意识到错了。

二、not only...(but also)出现在句首时,如果架连接的是两个句子,常用倒装。

如  Not only did we lose all our money,but we also came close to losing our lives.  我们不仅丢了钱,还差点把命丢了。

Not only did he speak correctly,but he also spoke easily.  他不仅说得准确,而且说得很轻松。

三、only放在不定式前面,常表示不愉快或出乎人们的意料的结果。

如  I went all the way to his home only to find hime out at a meeting.  我径直到他家里去,不料发现他出去开会了。

I hurried to the post office only to find it closed.  我匆忙赶到邮局,不料已经关门了。

She went home only to find her house burglarized.  她回到家里,发现房子被盗了。

四、“too...to...”结构中,表示否定意思,但在“only too...to...”结构中,only too = very,表示肯定意思。

如  The patient is too weak to walk.  那个病人太虚弱了,走不动。

We are only too willing to do it for you.  我们非常愿意为你做那事。

I am only too delighted to accept your king invitation.  我非常高兴地接受你的邀请。

五、在“one of + 复数名词 + 定语从句”的结构中,定语从句一般被看作修饰复数名词,谓语要用复数形式。

但在“the only one of + 复数名词 + 定语从句”的结构中,定语从句却被看作修饰“the only one”,谓语动词要用单数形式。

如  This is one of the best novels that have been published in the past two years.  这是近两年出版的最好的小说之一。

He was the only one of the boys who was given a prize.  他是这些孩子中唯一受到奖励的。

She is the only one of the girls who has been to the US.  她是那些女孩中唯一去过美国的。

六、If only 为虚拟语气的一种,表示愿望或一个未实现的条件,多用于感叹句,其主句常常省略。

如  If only she would marry me!  她要是能和我结婚该多好!  If only he had known about it!  他那时要是知道这件事该多好!  If only you could have been here earlier that day!  要是你那天再早点到这就好了。

If only there were forty-eighty hours in a day.  要是一天有48个小时就好了。
