nor，neither，no，not，seldom，little，hardly，at no time，in no way，not until，not only...but also，hardly(scarcely)．..when，no sooner...than等。
①Not only was everything he had taken away from him but also his German citizenship.不仅他所有的东西都被带走了，就连他的德国国籍也被取消了。
(2)在反意疑问句的陈述句部分中，如包含seldom，no，nothing，never，hardly，scarcely，little，few等否定副词，则这部分是否定，简短问句就应用肯定。
②He is seldom ill，is he？他很少生病，是吗？
③He was hardly twenty then，was he?
