Never was there a time when crops were so bad.（收成从来没有这样坏的。）
1704788915
1704788916
如果不是把副词的 never 放在句首，虽同是加强语气，也不必颠倒主语和动词，如：
1704788917
1704788918
I never saw him before.（我以前没有见过他。）
1704788919
1704788920
He never has failed me in my need.（我穷困时他总是接济我。）（较前举者语气为重。）
1704788921
1704788922
此外，never 应置于分词（ Participle）和不定词（ Infinitive）的前面，如：
1704788923
1704788924
Never having seen him before， I did not know what he looked like.（我从未见过他，不知他是一个什么样子。）
1704788925
1704788926
I am under a promise never to taste strong drink.（我誓守永不饮烈酒的约束。）
1704788927
1704788928
He claims never to have seen her before.（他声称从来没有见过他。）
1704788929
1704788930
如说成 Having never seen him before， I…或是 He claims to have never seen her before.都是不正常的。

英文疑难详解 43．副词 not 应置于分词 knowing 之前
1704788937
1704788938
试将 As I did not know what to say， I remained silent.一句改为分词造句时，可说成（a），（b）两种形式，不知何者为宜？
1704788939
1704788940
（a） Not knowing what to say， I remained silent.
1704788941
1704788942
（b） Knowing not what to say， I remained silent.
1704788943
1704788944
【解答】（a）的形式为宜。照惯用法，在分词造句中，否定副词的 not，应该放在分词之前。
1704788945
1704788946
Not receiving an answer， I wrote again.（没有接到回信，我再寄一封信去了。）
1704788947
1704788948
另举一例，如将下举复句改为单句时，还是应将 not 放在分词前的：
1704788949
1704788950
As I had not seen him for a long time， I was unable to recognize him.（好久未见到他，我不认识他了。）（复句）
1704788951
1704788952
Not having seen him for a long time， I was unable to recognize him.（单句）
1704788953
1704788954
上例虽则是用了完成式的分词，仍不宜照完成式正动词的说法，把否定副词放在 have been 之间，即把上句说成 Having not seen him for a long time，因为分词造句是与独立句不同的。否定字如不用 not 而用 never 时，也是一样。
1704788955
1704788956
As he had not realized his hope，he returned desperate to England.（希望没有实现，他绝望地回到了英国。）（复句）
1704788957
1704788958
Never having realized his hope，he returned desperate to England.（单句）
1704788959
1704788960
也不要说成 Having never realized his hope，……
