哈嘍小伙伴們 ，今天給大家科普一個(gè)小知識(shí)。在日常生活中我們或多或少的都會(huì)接觸到關(guān)于until的用法及解釋方面的一些說(shuō)法，有的小伙伴還不是很了解，今天就給大家詳細(xì)的介紹一下關(guān)于關(guān)于until的用法及解釋的相關(guān)內(nèi)容。

(資料圖片)

until是“個(gè)性”比較強(qiáng)的詞。對(duì)于同學(xué)們來(lái)說(shuō)只要把它的用法搞清楚掌握了它的用法使用起來(lái)就明確了，但是同學(xué)們知道它的用法和詞性嗎，如果不知道就快來(lái)看看吧。接下來(lái)小編在這里給大家?guī)?lái)until的用法，我們一起來(lái)看看吧!

until的用法

until(或till)在句子中用作介詞或連詞，其含義和since有類(lèi)似之處，只是since強(qiáng)調(diào)的是某一段的時(shí)間的起點(diǎn)(“從……”)，而until表示的是一段時(shí)間的終點(diǎn)(“到……”)。

一.由until (或till)構(gòu)成的介詞短語(yǔ)或引起的從句在句中作狀語(yǔ)時(shí)，如果是肯定句，句子的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞或主句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞一般是延續(xù)性的;在否定句或含有否定意義的句子中，句子的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞或主句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，既可是非延續(xù)性的，也可以是延續(xù)性的?？隙ň鋫?cè)重動(dòng)作延續(xù)的時(shí)間，否定句說(shuō)明動(dòng)作開(kāi)始的時(shí)間。

例如：

They thought their bodies would be well kept in these until they would come back to life.

He and the other doctors did not leave until the operation was over.

They are not going back to work until they get it.

He doesn’t sit down until the other person takes his seat.

And then they went on with their work at the empty loons until late into the night.

No more work was done on it until the People’s Republic of China was founded.

二.對(duì)含有“not … until …”結(jié)構(gòu)的句子進(jìn)行強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)，須用it is (was )not until…that…。

例如：

It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I realized she was a famous film star.

It was not until I saw Margaret the next morning, however, that I felt happy.

三.如果把“it is (was )… that ….”這個(gè)強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)的框架去掉，句子就須用倒裝語(yǔ)序。若是一個(gè)復(fù)合句時(shí)，要倒裝主句中的主謂部分。

例如：

Not until the early years of the 19 th century ____ what heat is.

A. man did know B. man knew C. didn’t man know D. did man know

答案是 D

Not until I began to work _____ how much time I had wasted.

A. didn’t I realize B. did I realize C. I didn’t realize D. I realized

答案是B

until 與till 的區(qū)別

(1)在句首時(shí)多用until 。例如：

Until then I had known nothing about it.

(2)在from … till … 這一詞組里，用till比用until普通，但也可用until。例如：

I worked from morning till late at night.

There was a beautiful Mozart concert on the radio from six o′clock until a quarter past seven.

(3)在“good—bye till …”及“up till…”中，till不能用until 替代。例如：

Yes, we can help one another. Good–bye till then.

I’ve lived in the country all my life up till now.

until的相關(guān)解釋

prep. 到…為止;在…以前;

conj. 到…為止，在…以前;直到…才;
