Question

以下倒装句逗号后面有一个and，可不可以去掉逗号，另这句话中的still什么用法？

With satellites, never will a Chinese professor travel by air to an academic conference in America, and still step out of the plane with a trembling hand.

Answer 1

可以去掉逗号，但如此一来句子就显得庸长，读起来费劲。
still 在此是副词，修饰后面整句 step out of the plane with a trembling hand，意思是仍然，依然

如果深入一步的话，这句话有两层意思，可以这么理解：
第一层
before the satellites, a Chinese professor (has to) travel by air to an academic conference in America, and (always) step out of the plane with a trembling hand.

第二层
With satellites, a Chinese professor (will never have to) travel by air to an academic conference in America, and still step out of the plane with a trembling hand.
