until 作介詞作介詞的until 的英文解釋是up to a specified time (直到某一時刻)或up to the time of a specified event (直到發生某事).但注意觀察下列句子,我們還可留意到until 在具體運用中的細微之處.
1. 用於肯定句中：
1) It may last until Friday. 這可能要延續到星期五.
2) He will be working until 5 o'clock. 他將一直工作到五點鐘.
3) She was a bank clerk until the war, when she trained as a nurse. 她戰前是個銀行職員,戰時受訓當了護士.
不難看出until 用於肯定句中,表示句子的動作一直持續到until短語所表示的時間爲止,即表示動作的終點.一般可譯爲“直到……時(爲止)”或“在……以前”.在這種用法中,句子的謂語動詞必須是持續動詞(非瞬間動詞),如live, wait , last, love, like, stay, work, continue 等.
2. 用於否定句中：
1) The secret was never told until after the old man's death. 這個祕密在老人去世後才說出來.
2) Don't open it until your birthday. 等到你過生日那天再打開.
3) She didn't sleep until eight. 她八點鐘才睡覺.
不難看出until用於否定句中,表示句子的動作直到until短語所表示的時間纔開始發生,即表示動作的起點.一般譯爲“直到……才”或“直到……之前(……還不)” .
until作連詞以同樣的方式分析作連詞的until的用法.作連詞用的until的英文釋義是up to the time when(直到……時爲止).
1. 用於肯定句中：

不難看出,作連詞的until用於肯定句中,表示主句的動作一直持續到從句動作發生或狀態出現時爲止.一般可譯爲“……直到……爲止”.在這種用法中,主句的謂語動詞必須是持續動詞(非瞬間動詞),如live, wait , last, love, like, stay, work, continue 等.
2. 用於否定句中：
1) I hadn't realized she was foreign until she spoke. 她不說話我還一直不知道她是個外國人.
