一个关于"until"的英语问题 帮帮忙啦

My uncle didn't marry until he was fifty. So his son is only ten years old now.
中据说是用的"not until"句型
Mr. Smith married until he was forty-five. 但是为什么这句中不用这个句型呢？希望可以说出相关知识点，谢谢

Answer 1

until
prep.
(=to the time of)直到...时, 到...为止

[常用在否定句中](=before)在...以前; 直到...才; 不到...(不)

until his death
直到他死
until four o'clock
直到四点钟
He did not go until night.
他直到夜里才走。
It was not until yesterday that I noticed it.
直到昨天我才注意到这件事。
习惯用语
unless and until=until

Answer 2

第二个句子里的until就是直到的意思,可以和till互换.
不是所有的地方都要用not until啊,不是所有的句子都牵涉到否定啊.

Answer 3

这句话语法错了Mr. Smith married until he was forty-five
应该是Mr. Smith wasn't married until he was forty-five.
not ..........until直到........才

Answer 4

只能说你得去了解每个单词的不同用法。。。
