【難句】1. Not only does a green thing look different from a red thing, remind us of other green things and inspire us to say, That s green ， but it also actually looks green: it produces an experience of sheer greenness that isn t reducible to anything else.
【結構分析】 該句子中，逗號前表示否定的詞not only放在句首，使用了部分倒裝。正常語序爲：a green thing looks not only different from a red thing，reminds us of other green things and inspires us to say, That s green 。這是並列了三個謂語。but之後爲遞進部分，but it also actually looks green ，其中冒號後爲具體的'解釋說明，並且這裏包含一個定語從句that isn t reducible to anything else，關係代詞that指代先行詞sheer greenness，在從句中作主語。
