这个句型，比较经典，表示的是：只有在什么时候，什么情况下，另一个事情才怎么样。简单说，就是“只有...才...”，比如这个例句：
It is only by thinking about their interrelationship that we can understand processes of creativity and cultural change.
(Creativity, Communication and Cultural Value)
上面这句话和下面的意思是一样的:
We can understand processes of creativity and cultural change only by thinking about their interrelationship.
注意，如果这样改， 'That we can understand processes of creativity and cultural change is only by thinking about their interrelationship.' 不符合英语的表达习惯，被认为是不正确的。
