Question

Hardly a week goes by without some advance in technology
为什么这句话hardly放句首不倒装,请具体解释,不要含糊不清,说服不了人的理由

Answer 1

hardly a=almost not a
几乎没有一周没有技术上的进步.
否定副词位于句首作状语时才倒装.
句首不倒装是因为hardly a week是主语.
Not a student agrees with me.
Neither of them is right.
也是不倒装的.
而这句话其实是双重否定的一个结构的.
也就是每一周都有技术上的进步.
Hardly a week goes by without a new threat.
几乎没有一周不发生新的威胁.
Hardly a week seems to go by without newsof another venture.
几乎没有哪个礼拜没有新合资企业的新闻.
