bare a.赤裸的;光禿的
beneath prep.在 ... 之下, 被...覆蓋
quilt n.被子

not... until 直到......才......
重點(diǎn)短語精學(xué):
not... until
這個(gè)句型從形式上看是否定句,但并非否定意思。until也可單獨(dú)使用,表示“直到……為止”。
The doctor didn’t start the operation until the room was bright enough.
醫(yī)生直到房間里的燈足夠亮了,才開始做手術(shù)。
Not until I began to work did I realize how much time I had wasted.
直到我開始工作,我才認(rèn)識(shí)到了我已蹉跎了幾多歲月。
當(dāng)主句是否定句時(shí),它引出的意思是"直到(某時(shí))(某動(dòng)作)才(發(fā)生)" ,這時(shí)候常會(huì)出現(xiàn)"not until …"的結(jié)構(gòu),如果將 "not until …"的結(jié)構(gòu)放在句首,那么主句要寫成倒裝句。例如:
They didn't realize their fault utill we pointed it out to them.
直到我們向他們指出了他們的錯(cuò)誤,他們才意識(shí)到。
Not until we pointed out their fault to them did they realize it.
直到我們向他們指出了他們的錯(cuò)誤,他們才意識(shí)到。
口語短句:
