until与till的区别
用作介词或连词,意为“直到(……为止”,两者常可换用,只是 until 比 till 稍正式,所以在正式文体中,一般用 until,而在口语或非正式文体中则两者都可用。从其后所接成分来看,till多与名词或较短的从句连用,而较长较复杂的成分多用 until,位于句首时也多用 until。
两者在用法上应注意以下几点:
(1)相关主句谓语必须是持续性动词,若是终止性动词,则应为否定式(因为终止性动词一旦被否定就成为状态,便可持续)。如:
We waited until [till] he came. 我们一直等到他来。
We didn’t leave until [till] he came. 直到他来我们才走。
(2)引导时间状语从句时,其谓语要用现在时表示将来意义。如:
I won’t leave until he comes back tomorrow。我要等他明天回来再走。
