有时可以互换。例如:“我刚到公共汽车站,汽车就开了。”一句:Hardly had I got to the bus stop when the bus started. No sooner had I got to the bus stop than the bus started. 但他们之间也有一些差异,请考生留意。no sooner…than它的意思相当于“刚做完A这件事,就做B这件事”。例如: He had no sooner returned than he bought a house. 他一回来就买了一套房子。 如果no sooner 位于句首,主句要用倒装结构。例如: No sooner had he arrived than he went away again. 他刚到就又走了。有一点要注意,no sooner…than 一般用来描述做过的事情,它不能用于表示将来的事

A. to be rigid 【答案】B 【解析】
B. to be sure
C. to be perfect D. to be fair
