12．他从民族风味餐厅一回来就迫不及待的告诉别人，这次他开了眼界．（No sooner…）No sooner had he come back from an ethnic restaurant than he couldn't wait to tell others that he had expanded his horizons．．

Answer 1

分析 他从民族风味餐厅一回来就迫不及待的告诉别人，这次他开了眼界．

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"，否定词No sooner 位于句首，所引导的句子had he come back from an ethnic restaurant 用部分倒装；couldn't wait to 表示"迫不及待的做"．

点评 考查汉译英．
no sooner…than…"一…就…"
引导时间状语从句，主句用过去完成时，"than"后面的从句用一般过去时．（从这里可以知道，no sooner后面是主句；than后面是从句）
例：
I had no sooner reached home than it began to rain．我一到家天就下起雨来
No sooner…than…常放在句首，表示强调．这时主句要倒装．
例：No sooner had I reached home than it began to rain．
与这个短语类似的还有 hardly…when 意思为："还没…就…"
例：
We had hardly gotten there when it began to rain．我们还没到那儿，天就下起雨了．
（主句用过去完成时，从句用一般过去时）
Hardly…when…也常放在句首
例：
Hardly had we gotten there when it began to rain．
