关于Not only 放在句首时的倒装

Question

Not only were they deprived of some of the human rights, but also they were maltreated. 这句话倒装部分是错的，为什么？

这句话不对，要把not only放到句中，变成They were not only deprived... 才对。我不明白原句为什么错。

Answer 1

"Not only ... but also "链接两个句子时，“前倒后不倒”！即：Not only部分倒装，but also部分不倒装。 例如：

Not only are you wrong but also he is wrong.

祝你成功！

补充回答：

① deprive of vt. 剥夺；失去

② Not only were they deprived of some of the human rights, but also they were maltreated. 这个句子主语都为they，我给的例句中，两个主语是不同的。 可转化成：

They were not only deprived of some of the human rights, but also were maltreated.本回答被提问者和网友采纳
