解释: only放在句首时,主句的情态动词may倒装,这是我们高中就已经学过的东西。然而句首的only与倒装的may距离如此之远,这在以前却没有见过,所以读上去让人不习惯。

另外一个难点在于,在前面的由when所引导的时间状语从句中,宾语boundaries后面跟了一个定语从句,that associate the water within it with the hydrologic cycle,而且从句中的associate with 又被water within it所分开,读者有要分神去考虑it指的是什么(就是指前面的boundaries),所以读到后面倒装的may的时候,难免不知所云。
