not until 全攻略|提供豐富例句,含倒裝和分裂句

not until 用法有哪些？「我看電視直到半夜，然後上床睡覺」跟「我一直看電視，直到半夜才上床睡覺」，這二句意思一樣，也都會用到unitl，但寫法大不相同。第一句是表示動作延續直到某時，即until+動作終點，用until的基本型即可。第二句必須用not…until，not…until+另一個動作起點。

與中文習慣不同，對於「直到才」的表示，英文是先否定掉沒做某動作(not的部分)再接開始做的時間(until)，直接翻譯是「某人沒做某事，直到某時才做」。not until還可以移到句首形成倒裝句，或搭配分裂句做強調，都是很漂亮的加分句型喔！

在學習not until前也可以先複習和until的比較，連結在此。一起來學習not until的用法吧！
