语音讲解
今日发音练习重点:
1. herrrrro 注意r的过渡,不要干脆的读出“肉”音。
2. until中的til不要读成拼音tiu。
言之有物
1. till/until的区别
含义: 到...为止
till和until意思相近,但用法有别:
till——(用于句中)肯定句中与延续性动词连用,表示“直到……为止”;否定句中与非延续性动词连用,表示“在......以前,直到.....(才)”。
until——(用于句首或句中)肯定句中与延续性、持续性动词连用,表示“直到.....为止”,即表示某一种行为一直持续到某一时间;否定句(not....until)中与瞬时性、短暂性动词连用,表示“直到....才,不到....(不)”,即直到某一时间,某一行为才发生,之前该行为并没有发生。
The shop's open till nine o'clock on Fridays.
这家商店周五营业到9点。
Not until 1985 did he come back.
直到1985年他才回来.
Until then, I knew nothing about it.
在那之前,我对此一无所知.
2. 倒装句 Not until... :
Not until 放句首的时候,后面的句子要倒装,也就是说如果原先的句子有一般动词,则要在主词前面加上助动词do / does / did;那如果句子含有be 动词的话,则将be 动词与主词位置对调。
举例:
原句:The boy didn't tell the truth until his sister was scolded.(直到他姐姐被责骂了,那男孩才说出实话。)
Not until the boy's sister was scolded did the boy tell the truth.
原句:She was not happy until her boyfriend apologized to her.(直到她男友向她道歉,她才开心了一点。)
Not until her boyfriend apologized to her was she happy.
原句: A hero doesn't appear until the world really needs one.
Not until the world really needs a hero does he appear.
