1. 倒装句： only if you...can you...

① only+状语 位于句首 具有“排他性”、“唯一性”。

Only becausethere were some cancelled bookings did he get some tickets in the end. 一些预订被取消了， 他才得以买到了几张票。

Only now can I understand how important it is. 直到现在我才知道它多么重要。

② only+状语 不表示“排他”和“唯一”，则不用倒装。此时only表示just.

你上周才说过不再抽烟了，坚持不了多久吧？

对比：

倒装：Only today did I see her. 我就今天才见到他。

不倒装：Only today I saw her. 今天我还见到她来着。
