notonly位于句首倒装的句子

Question

关于Not only 放在句首时的倒装
Not only were they deprived of some of the human rights,but also they were maltreated.这句话倒装部分是错的，为什么？
这句话不对，要把not only放到句中，变成They were not only deprived...才对。我不明白原句为什么错。

Answer 1

"Not only ...but also "链接两个句子时,“前倒后不倒”!即：Not only部分倒装,but also部分不倒装.例如：
Not only are you wrong but also he is wrong.
① deprive of vt.剥夺；失去
② Not only were they deprived of some of the human rights,but also they were maltreated.这个句子主语都为they,我给的例句中,两个主语是不同的.可转化成：
They were not only deprived of some of the human rights,but also were maltreated.
