| 词组 | up until |
| 释义 | up until Since the meaning of up until is the same as that of until by itself, Bernstein 1965, Phythian 1979, and Freeman 1983 recommend omitting the up. We recommend instead that you regard up until as an idiomatic phrase which occurs naturally and appropriately in speech and in casual writing. • ... a privilege that up until Stark took over Willard had guarded jealously —James Jones, From Here to Eternity, 1951 • ... I had been protected all my life, up until the day he was killed —Myrlie Evers, quoted in Essence, November 1970 • Up until now I've been waiting until I decided to turn in my old car —And More by Andy Rooney, 1982 Let your own writerly judgment determine whether up should stay or go in a particular context. |
