应不少条友的私信要求,整理一些基础语法知识,希望对大家的学习有所帮助。本文主要学习《表示时间节点的介词(by/till/until)辨析》。欢迎留言或私信交流,共同进步。
一、by后接时间点,多表示“到何时为止动作已完成”;例如:
- By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves. 截至去年,黄石国家公园中狼的数量已经增加到了170多只。
- By the end of the sixth grade,Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class. 到六年级结束时,特迪已成为班上最聪明的孩子之一。
二、till/until用在肯定句中时,表示“直到……为止”; 用在否定句中时,表示“直到……才”;例如:
- I went to the Red-headed Club’s office at 10 am and stayed till 2 pm. 我上午10点去了红发会的办公室,并一直待到下午2点。
- They told her to stay still until the emergency personnel arrived. 他们告诉她要在紧急救援人员到达之前保持不动。
- I did not realize how right my parents were until I entered high school. 直到进入了高中,我才意识到我父母当时的做法是多么正确。
