题目:Today, the Tower of London is one of the most popular tourist sights and attracts over three million visitors a year. It was occasionally used as a royal palace for the Kings and Queens of England ______ the time of James I, who regined from 1603 to 1625, but is best known as a prison and execution place.
A. until B.by C.at D.to (答案是A,想问C.at 为什么不对?感觉也说得通吧)
如果把 until 换做 at,意思就彻底变了。语法对,意思错,句子仍然错!
It was occasionally used as a royal palace for the Kings and Queens of England at the time of James I.
It was occasionally used as a royal palace for the Kings and Queens of England until the time of James I.
第一句是说:伦敦塔用作皇家宫殿是在詹姆士一世统治时期。(与事实不符)
第二句是说:伦敦塔用作皇家宫殿是在詹姆士一世统治之前。
until 的意思指:一个动作或状态,持续到 until 后面的时间为止,到了这个时间必须结束。因此这里翻译为“在......之前”。据说,伦敦塔此后变成了监狱、刑场,还有幼儿园等。
