　　对话精讲

　　第一、地道表达

　　【核心短语】after one’s fancy

　　【解词释义】after的意思是“寻找，探求”，fancy的本义为“想象力”，在此转引为“心意”。两者的结合，该习语的意思是“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钓鱼，这正合我意。

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

　　她终于找到了一件合意的连衣裙。

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

　　这本书正合我意。

　　第二、句海拾贝

　　【句型模板】Not until+名词+系动词(助动词)+sb+does something.

　　【释义】某人直到某时候才做某事。

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

　　他到十一点才回家。

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

　　到了傍晚，我们的狗才脱离危险。
