The Internet is a three-kilometre long-distance race that will influence human life in the next 30 years. You will have to run as fast as a hare, and at the same time, as enduringly as a tortoise.
——Ma Yun
互联网是影响人类未来生活30年的3000米长跑。你必须跑得像兔子一样快。又要像鸟龟━样耐跑。

思考:本句话的主语和谓语动词分别是什么?

Sentence Analysis
* 介词短语或副词置于句首的倒装句
有时为了保持句子平衡或使上下文衔接紧密,常将介词短语或表示时间、地点或方位的副词如here,there,now,away, off,in,out等置于句首,句子使用完全倒装,即把主语与谓语倒置。在该句型中,谓语动词的数应与其后的主语保持一致。
例:
1. 桌子上有张穿着粉色衣服的漂亮女孩的照片。
2. 河对岸住着一位老渔夫。
3. 山顶上有一座庙。
On the table was a photograph of a beautiful girl in pink.
Beyond the river lives an old fisherman.
At the top of the mountain stands a temple.
* 介词短语或副词置于句首的倒装句
介词短语或副词位于句首时,若主语是代词,则主谓不用倒装。
Behind the counter she stood,beautiful and pale.
她站在柜台后面,美丽的面容有些苍白。
Off he went without saying a word.
他一句话也没说就走了。
Here he comes.

2. Only in this way can the Internet be a place of discovery, wonder, and inspiration for everyone. (lines 40-42)
思考:本句话为什么要用倒装?
当句首有“only+状语”时,其后的主句应该采用半倒装结构。值得注意的是,“only+主语”位于句首时,句子不需要倒装。例如:
Only you can finish the task as scheduled.
Only with our joint efforts can we protect the “lungs of the planet”.
Sentence Analysis
Only in this way can the Internet be a place of discovery, wonder and inspiration for everyone. It is truly a world without frontiers.
Only的倒装结构:
Only后面加上介词短语 / 时间副词 / 时间状语从句 /原因状语从句放在句首时,句子 / 主句应采用部分倒装语序。
例:
1. 只有这样才能学会英语。
Only in this way ____________________.
2. 只有到那时我才明白她的意思。
Only then ___________________________.
can we learn English
did I understand what she meant
* 在only后作状语的是从句时,从句不要用倒装,要
