Until (also written as 'till' informally) indicates the time when something stops happening or the point at which a situation changes. It can function as both a preposition ('until Monday') and a conjunction ('until you arrive'). The phrase 'not until' emphasises that something won't happen before a certain time.
「until」(非正式写作中也作「till」)表示某事停止发生的时间或情况发生变化的时间点。它既可作介词(「until Monday」),也可作连词(「until you arrive」)。短语「not until」强调某事在特定时间之前不会发生。
«Until» (también escrito como «till» informalmente) indica el momento en que algo deja de suceder o el punto en que cambia una situación. Puede funcionar como preposición («until Monday») y como conjunción («until you arrive»). La frase «not until» enfatiza que algo no sucederá antes de cierto momento.
「until」(カジュアルには「till」とも書く)は、何かが起こるのをやめる時点や状況が変わる時点を示します。前置詞(「until Monday」)としても接続詞(「until you arrive」)としても機能します。「not until」というフレーズは、ある時点まで何かが起こらないことを強調します。
Until(비격식적으로 'till'이라고도 씀)은 어떤 일이 멈추는 시점이나 상황이 바뀌는 시점을 나타냅니다. 전치사('until Monday')와 접속사('until you arrive') 모두로 사용할 수 있습니다. 'not until'은 특정 시점 전에는 어떤 일이 일어나지 않음을 강조합니다.

起源与历史
From Old Norse 'und' (as far as) + 'til' (to), entering English in the 13th century. Surprisingly, 'till' is actually the older English form and 'until' was formed by adding the prefix. Many people wrongly assume 'till' is a shortened version of 'until', but it is the other way around.
