用于句首的 Not since... not是否定转移还是省略

问题描述

Not since the 1968 Olympic Games has a medals ceremony caused such a storm of booing. 

自1968 年奥运会以来，没有哪次颁奖仪式引起过如此哗然的一片嘘声。

请问：not 是否定转移还是省略？

老师答疑

刘老师：

Not since the 1968 Olympic Games has a medals ceremony caused such a storm of booing.

自1968 年奥运会以来，没有哪次颁奖仪式引起过如此哗然的一片嘘声。

【分析】这是一个倒装句。正常语序是：

Since the 1968 Olympic Games no medals ceremony has caused such a storm of booing.

又如：Not a word did he say. = He said no word. = He did not say a word.

黎老师：

在简单句中，not放在句首后面接状语时，要用倒装句。例如：Not until then did he realize his own fault . 直到那时他才意识到他自己的过错。（摘自韩长清主编《中学英语语法全编》第二次修订版p.493）(= He did not realize his own fault until then.)

你的句子 Not since the 1968 Olympic Games has a medals ceremony caused such a storm of booing. 可以改写为：Since the 1968 Olympic Games a medals ceremony has not caused such a storm of booing.
