till / until在表达方式和意义上的特殊性：until是till的强调形式,但是它们表达的意义是相同的,都表示"直到某时".不过,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 unt...until 可以放在句首而till则不行。我们可以说：Until they used up all their money, the young couple were very happy .我们却不可以说：Till they used up all their money, the young couple were very happy . 剩下情况通用
