问

请问下列句子里的 no more 是什么意思？

A: I don't play tennis.

B: No more do I.

答

这里的 no more 的意义和用法相当于 neither 或 nor，都是用来对前面的一个否定句做出反应，并都引起主谓倒装。

He can't afford a new car, and no more can I. (LDCE) 他买不起新汽车,我也买不起。
He was not enthusiastic about the picnic, but, then, no more were the ladies. 他对野餐不大热情，但是，妇女们也不大热情。

练习

He did not turn up. No more ____.
1. A
  did his brother
2. B
  his brother did
3. C
  did not his brother
4. D
  his brother did too no more $^{2}$

问

No more will the creators of a new element be able to name it after a famous scientist (lawrencium), city (berkelium), or state (californium). (TOEFL) 新元素的发现者不再用著名科学家的名字来命名(镑)，用城市来命名(镑)或用州来命名(铜)了。请问上面的句子为什么要实行主谓语倒装？

答

见 Never did we。
