The ancient Olympic Games were held at Olympia in Greece every four years for almost 12 centuries, until they eventually died out around the year 393.
古代奥运会每四年在希腊奥林匹亚举行一次,持续了近12个世纪,直到公元 393年左右消失。
句式剖析:
本句是一个复合句,until 引导的是时间状语从句。until 意为到......时;直到......为止”,既可以做连词引导句子,又可以做介词,其后跟名词(短语)或副词,在句中时可以和 till互换。
考点提炼:until 做介词和连词的用法
(1)until 用作介词时,后可接名词或副词。
They moved here in 2002. Until then they'd always been in the London area.
他们2002年搬到这里,之前一直住在伦敦地区。
(2)until用作连词时,引导时间状语从句。
①若主句为肯定句,主句的谓语动词要用延续性动词,表示动作或状态一直持续到until所表示的时间才停止。until 意为“直到......为止”。
You may stay here ______________________.
你可以在这里待到雨停。
He decided to wait ____________________, even if he had been hungry.
他决定等比尔回家,即使他已经饿了。
until the rain stops
until Bill got home
②若主句为否定句,主句的谓语动词要用非延续性动词,表示动作直到until所表示的时间才开始。not...until...意为“直到......才......”。
You _______________what you are able to do _______________.
你尝试了才知道你能做什么。
She helped me pack and ______________ the airport ______________________________.
她帮我收拾行李,直到看到我的飞机起飞才离开机场。
don't know
until you try
did not leave
until she saw my plane take off
归纳拓展:
(1)till和until一般情况下可以互换,但通常情况下,till不可以位于句首,而until可以。
The shop's open ______________________________at night on Fridays.
这家商店周五营业到晚上9点。
(2)not until...位于句首时,主句要用部分倒装结构(即把助动词、系动词be、情态动词等置于主语之前),且用肯定形式,注意从句不倒装。
____________________ know he must have been involved in a traffic accident.
直到那时我才知道他一定是遭遇了交通事故。
(3)not...until...用于强调句型时not和until 必须放在一起,即构成句型 It is/was not until...that...,that后面的句子要用肯定形式,且应用陈述句语序。
____________________________we knew the girl would receive an operation the next day.
直到那时我们才知道这个女孩第二天将要接受手术。
till/until nine o'clock
Not until then did I
It was not until then tha
