　　對話精講

　　第一、地道表達

　　【核心短語】after one’s fancy

　　【解詞釋義】after的意思是“尋找，探求”，fancy的本義為“想象力”，在此轉(zhuǎn)引為“心意”。兩者的結(jié)合，該習語的意思是“正合心意”。

　　【典型范例1】 My brother asked me to fish this morning, which was after my own fancy.

　　我弟弟要我今天早上去釣魚，這正合我意。

　　【典型范例2】She has at last found a dress after her fancy.

　　她終于找到了一件合意的連衣裙。

　　【典型范例3】The book is just after my fancy.

　　這本書正合我意。

　　第二、句海拾貝

　　【句型模板】Not until+名詞+系動詞(助動詞)+sb+does something.

　　【釋義】某人直到某時候才做某事。

　　【范例1】Not until eleven o'clock did he come home.

　　他到十一點才回家。

　　【范例2】Not until evening was our dog pronounced out of danger.

　　到了傍晚，我們的狗才脫離危險。
