1.The party of the would-be president of Ivory Coast, Alassane Ouattara, has called for a general strike from Monday until the incumbent leader Laurent Gbagbo steps down.

until与till的区别

用作介词或连词,意为“直到(……为止”,两者常可换用,只是 until 比 till 稍正式,所以在正式文体中,一般用 until,而在口语或非正式文体中则两者都可用。从其后所接成分来看,till多与名词或较短的从句连用,而较长较复杂的成分多用 until,位于句首时也多用 until。
  两者在用法上应注意以下几点:
  (1)相关主句谓语必须是持续性动词,若是终止性动词,则应为否定式(因为终止性动词一旦被否定就成为状态,便可持续)。如:
  We waited until [till] he came. 我们一直等到他来。
  We didn’t leave until [till] he came. 直到他来我们才走。
  (2)引导时间状语从句时,其谓语要用现在时表示将来意义。如:
  I won’t leave until he comes back tomorrow。我要等他明天回来再走。
  (3)有时其后可跟副词、介词短语或从句等。如:
  He has been ill until recently. 他最近一直生病。
  She didn’t return until after twelve o’clock。直到 12 点过后她才回来。
  They didn’t reach the station until after the train had left。直到火车开走之后,他们才到达车站。
  Until when are you going to stay here?你在这儿要待到什么时候

2.It was Turkey who should apologise, Mr Lieberman said, for supporting terror, including the IHH, the Turkish organisation which sent the ship to Gaza.

it强调句型

it 引导的强调句型,通常形式为:It + be +被强调部分+ that/who +句子其他成分。这种强调句由普通陈述句转换而来,用来强调句子的主语、宾语或状语。例如:

It was Tom's mother that / who bought Tom a bicycle on his birthday.

是汤姆的妈妈在汤姆生日那天给他买了辆自行车。

It was yesterday that I met him. 我是昨天见到他的。

在此类强调句中需要注意的是:

1)不管被强调部分是单数还是复数,其前一律用it is / was 而不能用 they are /were

It is the teachers who teach me very well. 这就是教我教得很好的老师。

2)被强调部分指人时,被强调部分可用that /who来指代;被强调部分指物时,被强调部分后只能用that 指代

It is this house that has a beautiful garden. 就是这个房子有一个美丽的花园。

3)强调部分指时间和地点时,被强调部分只能用that 指代,而不能用when, where 等指代

It was yesterday that I entered the school. 我是昨天进的学校。
