亲爱的同学们,
课上相信新二的讲义已经很完美啦!不妨一起来把一篇课文的一个句子揣揣透吧!这次我们选下面这一句!
“The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground.”(P232页,第49课,第7行)
那年轻人直到床撞倒地上才醒了过来。
经典句型提炼:主句(含not的否定式)+until时间状语从句。
大家是否曾为过去的事情而感到一丝后悔?这时你会发出一句感慨之言:拥有的时候不爱惜,等到失去的时候才懂得它的价值!这句话用英文如何表达?我们就可以用到这个句型!
We don’t know what is good until it was gone!
这是“not…until…”表达“直到…才…”的句型。
1.主句中的动词都是短暂性动词
2.时间状语从句中用一般现在时代替一般将来时
3.一般从句动作先于主句发生动作,如果要强调从句动作的完成状态,可以用完成时态
4.until可以换作till
举例加以证明:
She didn’t realize her mistake until her friend had reminded her of it.
直到朋友提醒她,她才意识到自己的错误。
这个句式的厉害之处是:可以扩展两个延伸句型:(高级别的考试中)
not until +时间状语从句+倒装后的主句
it is not until+时间状语从句+that+主句
第一个句式是将否定性时间状语提前的倒装句式。
第二个句式是强调句,强调时间状语。
所以以上的例句便可转化为:
Not until her friend had reminded her of it did she realize the mistake.
It was not until her friend had reminded her of it that she realized the mistake.
