until用法归纳.doc

until词性中文释义例句备注介词(表动作、状态的继续) 为止，在之前I waited until three oclock.我一直等到三点钟。until与表示延续性的动词连用，表示动作及状态继续到某一个时刻。(用于否定句)到为止；直到才The noise didnt stop until midnight. 噪音一直到午夜才停止。连词(表动作、状态的继续)直到（另一动作或状态出现）之前He lived with his parents until he got married. 他与父母住在一起直到结婚为止。(用于否定句)直到，直到才The children wont come home until it is dark. 孩子们不到天黑不回家。使用注意事项：注意事项一until用于肯定句中，表示主句的动作一直持续到从句动作发生或状态出现时为止。一般可译为“直到为止”。在这种用法中，主句的谓语动词必须是持续动词(非瞬间动词)，如live, wait , last, love, like, stay, work, continue 等。until用于否定句中,表示主句的动作在从句的动作发生之前尚未发生，或者说主句的动作在从句的动作发生之后才开始。一般可译为“直到才”。注意事项二until后面的从句中不能用一般将来时，应该用一般现在时代替。所谓的“主将从现”。He will stay here until his mother comes back.They will study at the school until their parents come to take them home.注意事项三（该考点为高中内容）till和until的意思基本相同，用法也基本一样，但until语气较重，多用于较正式的文体里。 till多用于英式英语， until多用于美式英语； till不能用在句首，也不能用在not开头的短语或从句里，而until可以。在这种情况下应用倒装语序。Until he came home, we knew the news. 在他到家之前，我们不知道这消息。Not until nine oclock yesterday evening did we finish the work.直到昨晚九点，我们才完成这项工作。注意事项四 (该考点在初中阶段基本不涉及)until与before在多数情况下可以替换。意义差别不大。不可换用的情况：主句为肯定句，且谓语动词为瞬间动词，只能用before不能用until。这时候before常意为“没来得及”或“才”等。 The students wont go home until / before they finish their homework. The woman worked in the factory until/before 1990. Einstein almost knocked me down before he saw me. He had measured me before I could get in a word.课本例句：1.
