标题: OG12-SC-3:until问题 [打印本页] 作者: newca 时间: 2010-6-7 21:42 标题: OG12-SC-3:until问题 Although various eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American poets had professed an interest in Native American poetry and had pretended to imitate Native American forms in their own works, until almost 1900, scholars and critics did not begin seriously to study traditional Native American poetry in native languages. (A) until almost 1900, scholars and critics did not begin seriously to study (B) until almost 1900 scholars and critics had not begun seriously studying (C) not until almost 1900 were scholars and critics to begin seriously to study (D) it was not almost until 1900 when scholars and critics began to seriously study (E) it was not until almost 1900 that scholars and critics seriously began studying
OG解释： A The tenses are fi ne in this version, but the placement of until almost 1900 is problematic. until……是说只能用在句首么？这里为什么说placement不对呢？ 另外，not until almost 1900 只有在真正的句首才能倒装? 同一句中前面有其他内容就不能倒装么？作者: typhoon_wang 时间: 2010-6-7 21:54

正确答案是E作者: keith139 时间: 2010-6-7 22:10
The placement of the phrase until almost 1900 at the beginning of the second clause is confusing. Does it refer back to the first verb or forward to the next verb?解释的原句作者: newca 时间: 2010-6-7 22:18
那就是说，until可以修饰前句也可以修饰后句喽？这部分明白了 那not until倒装的问题呢？作者: hsinq 时间: 2010-6-7 22:42
原句是否定句的时候，until必须放在not后面，构成词组not until~until单独放句首时是引导肯定句的。 not until在这个时候也可以倒装，不过were to时态不对作者: newca 时间: 2010-6-7 22:54

而且我还觉得就算是until almost 1900是修饰后面的句子，句子的意思也是不对的，因为这样的话句子的意思就是说直到1900的时候，scholars and critics 还没有began to *****，和原文意思不一样......作者: LEDGIRL 时间: 2010-6-25 06:47
Not until 是 和 WHEN 搭配还是和THAT 搭配？ D和E作者: nemiah 时间: 2010-6-27 14:29
not until used to emphasize that something does not happen before a certain point in time or before something else has happened: 'Can I go out and play now?' 'Not until you've done your homework.' It was not until 1972 that the war finally came to an end.作者: yangmars 时间: 2011-6-27 09:34
想知道C到底错在哪里？were to begin to study ?有错误？错在哪里？作者: synsunnie 时间: 2011-9-23 14:45
回楼上： be to do和begin to do两个不定式连用---> awkward and wordy.
