no sooner than的用法

译为“刚一…就” =as soon as

分为一般式和倒装式

一般形式

had no sooner done…than did把no sooner整体看作一个副词,副词修饰动词时一般放在助动词后面,主动词前边。

We had no sooner gone to bed than the phone rang. 我们刚一上床,电话就响了。

倒装形式,进行强调(than前加不加逗号都行),一般用在比较formal的情境

No sooner had he arrived than he started talking about leaving. 他刚到,就说起要走的事

注意1:有的地方不用完成时态,而用过去时态,为了强调两件事间隔非常短,比如:

No sooner did Barack Obama ascend to the Presidency, then the country split asunder. 巴拉克奥巴马刚当上总统,这个国家就分裂了。

注意2:有的地方用现在时态(有人说现在时态不对,但是真的有这样的例句)

No sooner have you opened the packaging than you're already yearning for the upgrade. 刚打开包装,你就开始渴望升级了。--BBC
