until的用法

until可用作介词或连词，意为“到……时候为止”、“到……时候才”或“在……时候以前不”。
1. 如果主句中的谓语动词是终止性动词，应采用“... not ... until ...”结构，意为“……到……时候才……”。例如：
You mustn’t eat anything until you see the doctor. 看过医生之后，你才能吃东西。
2. 如果主句中的谓语动词是延续性动词，那么谓语动词用肯定式或否定式，它们所表达的意思有所不同。
1） 如果谓语动词为肯定式，则until译为“到……时候为止”。例如：
I watched TV until she came back. 我看电视一直看到她回来。
2） 如果谓语动词为否定式，则until应译为“到……时候才”，即“在……以前不”。如：
I did not watch TV until she came back. （= I began to watch TV when/after she came back.） 直到她回来我才开始看电视。
3. 用终止性动词作谓语时， until既可以和not连用，又可以和never， nobody， nothing， few， little， seldom， hardly等含否定意义的词连用。例如：
I had not seen him until 1990. （= I had never seen him until 1990.） 1990年以前我从未见过他。
Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today. （= Never put off what you can do today till tomorrow.） 今日事，今日毕。

Answer 2

这是典型的not...until句型。这是英语国家的语言习惯，不能按自己中文翻译来填写。因此只能用until。

追问

这里没有not untill的结构，只是单纯的出现了until这个连词连接。
not...until用于否定 单独的until 可以用于肯定句 两者用时句子的翻译都是不一样的。 I will 是省略了 I will bother to see it!

追答

有的, I won't bother，就是Not。

通常我们会说I won't bother to see it until it comes out on DVD，意思是不出DVD我是不会去看的。

追问

好吧，我再问你一下，I will 是省略了 I will bother to see it! 还是 I won't bother to see it

追答

I will可以说是多余的，这里只是强调了一下直到出DVD才会去看。

全文的意思是：我不会去看的，只有出了DVD我才会去看的。I'll 是I'll see的省略, bother有反义，因此这里没有bother。

如下：
I won't bother to see it, or I will see it until it comes out on DVD.

追问

好吧！谢谢
