not... until
这个句型从形式上看是否定句,但并非否定意思。until也可单独使用,表示“直到……为止”。

医生直到房间里的灯足够亮了,才开始做手术。
Not until I began to work did I realize how much time I had wasted.
直到我开始工作,我才认识到了我已蹉跎了几多岁月。
当主句是否定句时,它引出的意思是"直到(某时)(某动作)才(发生)" ,这时候常会出现"not until …"的结构,如果将 "not until …"的结构放在句首,那么主句要写成倒装句。例如:
They didn't realize their fault utill we pointed it out to them.
直到我们向他们指出了他们的错误,他们才意识到。
Not until we pointed out their fault to them did they realize it.
直到我们向他们指出了他们的错误,他们才意识到。
