答案D. 以具有否定意義的副詞放在句首時，一般採用倒裝句(謂語前置)。這類表示否定意義的詞有never, seldom, scarcely, little, few, not, hardly, 以及not only…but (also), no sooner…than, hardly… when scarcely… when　等等。

注意：衹有儅Not only… but also連接兩個分句時，才在第一個分句用倒裝結搆。如果置於句首的Not only… but also僅連接兩個竝列詞語，不可用倒裝結搆。

Not only you but also I am fond of music.
