“no sooner”是英语中表示时间顺序的固定搭配,通常以“no sooner...than”的结构出现,强调两个连续动作之间的紧密衔接。以下是该短语的详细解释:
一、基本含义与结构 “no sooner”用于描述一个动作刚完成,另一个动作立即发生,相当于汉语的“一……就……”。其完整结构为: $$ text{No sooner} + text{助动词} + text{主语} + text{动词过去分词} + text{than} + text{从句} $$ 例如:
No sooner had she left the office than the phone rang.(她刚离开办公室,电话就响了)
二、语法规则
三、强调用法 该短语通过倒装句式加强语气,常见于书面语和正式场合。例如英国广播公司(BBC)在新闻报道中曾使用: No sooner had the government announced the policy than protests began.
四、与类似表达的区别 •“as soon as”:语气更中性,不倒装(例:As soon as he arrived, the meeting started.)
•“hardly...when”:语义相近但结构不同(例:Hardly had we started eating when the lights went out.)
五、历史演变 根据《英语惯用语词典》记载,“no sooner...than”结构最早可追溯至16世纪英语文献,其倒装形式源自古典语法对动作紧迫性的强调需求。
"no sooner" 是英语中表示「一……就……」的固定搭配,用于强调两个动作或事件紧密相连,前者刚发生,后者立即发生。以下是详细解析:
基本定义:表示一个动作/事件刚完成,另一动作/事件立刻发生,带有时间上的紧迫性。例如:
No sooner had I left home than it began to rain. (我刚出门就下雨了。)

同义表达:可替换为 "as soon as" 或 "hardly...when",但 "no sooner" 更正式,常见于书面语。
倒装句式:当 "no sooner" 置于句首时,主句需倒装,且主句用过去完成时,从句用一般过去时:
No soonerhad she arrived at the officethan the phone rang. (她刚到办公室,电话就响了。)
(来源:)
正常语序(较少用):
She hadno sooner arrived at the officethan the phone rang.
固定搭配:必须与"than" 连用,而非 "when" 或其他连词。
错误示例:No sooner had he left when...
正确示例:No sooner had he leftthan...
(来源:)
时态匹配:主句用过去完成时(表示先发生的动作),从句用一般过去时。
口语替代:日常交流中更常用 "as soon as",如:
As soon as I closed my eyes, the alarm went off.
倒装结构:
No soonerhad the meeting startedthan the power went out. (会议一开始就停电了。)
(来源:)
非倒装结构:
The movie hadno sooner endedthan people rushed out. (电影一结束,人们就冲了出去。)
"no sooner...than" 是正式语境中表达「紧接着发生」的经典结构,需注意倒装和时态规则。实际使用时可结合语境选择更口语化的替代表达。
