Ⅱ.研典句 学用法
not...until...直到……才……
It was not published until 1859 and immediately caused a storm.(P68 Para.6)
这本书直到1859年才出版,出版后立即引起轰动。
结构分析:句中的not...until...意为“直到……才……”,cause a storm意为“引起轰动”。
• 如果until用在肯定句中,谓语动词通常是延续性动词,如stand,stay,
talk,wait等,表示主句动作终止的时间。
• 如果until用在否定句中,谓语动词既可以是瞬间性动词也可以是延续
性动词,强调主句动作开始的时间。
• 当not until 位于句首时,主句要用部分倒装,not until所在的从句不倒
装。其结构为Not until+从句/表时间的词+助动词/情态动词/be动词+
(主句)主语+谓语+其他。
• not until的强调结构为It is/was not until+从句/表时间的词+that+其他。
