例152　Not only has the Government refused to consult with the people of Australia on this issue of decreasing the duty rates, they have also refused to consult with them on increasing the export and import between tow countries.

【结构分析】这句话是not only...but also引导的倒装，特点是not only后面倒装，but also后面不倒装，前半句的主语是the Government，动词是refused to consult with，宾语是the people of Australia，状语是on this issue of decreasing the duty rates，后半句主语是they，动词是have refused to consult with，宾语是them，状语是on increasing the export and import between tow countries。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于not only...but also引导的倒装，很有特色，比如说I not only love swimming but also running，倒装为Not only do I love swimming but also running。

【核心词汇】

consult with　协商

decrease the duty rates　降低关税

increase the export and import　增加进出口

【参考译文】不仅政府拒绝与澳大利亚人协商降低关税问题，他们还拒绝与他们协商增加两国之间进出口贸易的问题。
