until 和 not until 的用法

關於國中會考15題,有網友問能選 until嗎? 剛好趁這個機會教一下 until 的用法:

(1) until:「直到...為止」(根據朗文字典對 until 的定義: if something happens until a particular time, it continues and then stops at that time)
(e.g.) I have waited until 5 o'clock, but she still didn't come. (我一直等到五點,但她仍然沒來)[節錄自文馨辭典]
I was up until three o'clock trying to get it finished! 為了完成工作,我一直熬夜做到三點! [節錄自Cambridge字典]

(2)not until: 「直到...才...
(e.g.) We didn't eat until past midnight. (我們一直到過了午夜吃東西) (很貼字面的翻法是: 我們都沒有吃東西喔~直到過了午夜為止) [節錄自文馨辭典]
