Question

13．直到他打电话，我才意识到我把毕业证书落在他办公室了．（强调句）It was not until he called me that I realized that I had left mygraduation certificatein his office．．

Answer 1

分析 直到他打电话，我才意识到我把毕业证书落在他办公室了．

解答 答案：It was not until he called me that I realized that I had left mygraduation certificate in his office．
考查强调句式．句子里It was…that（第一个that）强调状语not until he called me；that I had left mygraduation certificate in his office是I realized 的宾语从句，由于发生在主句动作以前，所以用过去完成时had left．

点评 考查汉译英．not until的倒装与强调结构
1．当Not until位于句首时，句子要倒装．其结构为：Not until+从句/表时间的词+助动词+（主句）主语+谓语+．如：
①Not until the teacher came in did the students stop talking．直到老师进来学生们才停止讲话．
②Not until next week will the sports meet be held．直到下周才开运动会．
2．not until的强调结构为：It is/was not until+从句/表时间的词+that+．
上面两句改为强调句为：
③It was not until the teacher came in that the students stopped talking．
④It is not until next week that the sports meet will be held．
