✔ 最佳答案
Scarcely does a week pass without another unsettling case of child neglect, cruelty or sexual assault coming to public attention.
這句句子可這樣寫﹕
A week scarcely passes before there is another unsettling case of ......

" Scarcely does a week pass ... " 利用「倒裝法」(Inversion)來强調有關事例的常見。Inversion的寫法可利用一些副詞開頭,例如﹕rarely, never, hardly 等等,再接上適當的助動詞而成。

Examples of Inversion:

Never will I see her again. (I will never see her again.)
Rarely has a debate attracted so much attention. (A debate has rarely attracted so much attention.)
Hardly had they turned off the lights when the door bell rang. (They had hardly turned off the lights when the door bell rang.)

在正式的書面英語中,尤其在文學體裁中,上述「倒裝法」是常見的。

does 在這裏只是有強調語氣的作用
不是用DO因為a week 是單數
只是用Scarcely a week pass 做headling 也是可以的

例如:I DO think that he has tried his best
我真的覺得他巳經儘力了
同樣的刪去DO也可以,不過用了DO就強調你很相信他的努力
