Answer 1

分析 他從民族風(fēng)味餐廳一回來(lái)就迫不及待的告訴別人，這次他開(kāi)了眼界．

解答 答案：No sooner had he come back from an ethnic restaurant than he couldn't wait to tell others that he had expanded his horizons．
考查句式No sooner…than．句子里No sooner…than表示"一…就"，否定詞No sooner 位于句首，所引導(dǎo)的句子had he come back from an ethnic restaurant 用部分倒裝；couldn't wait to 表示"迫不及待的做"．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考查漢譯英．
no sooner…than…"一…就…"
引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，主句用過(guò)去完成時(shí)，"than"后面的從句用一般過(guò)去時(shí)．（從這里可以知道，no sooner后面是主句；than后面是從句）
例：
I had no sooner reached home than it began to rain．我一到家天就下起雨來(lái)
No sooner…than…常放在句首，表示強(qiáng)調(diào)．這時(shí)主句要倒裝．
例：No sooner had I reached home than it began to rain．
與這個(gè)短語(yǔ)類似的還有 hardly…when 意思為："還沒(méi)…就…"
例：
We had hardly gotten there when it began to rain．我們還沒(méi)到那兒，天就下起雨了．
（主句用過(guò)去完成時(shí)，從句用一般過(guò)去時(shí)）
Hardly…when…也常放在句首
例：
Hardly had we gotten there when it began to rain．
