英语中的“until such time as”结构

语言学家N.H.Mager和S.K.Mager在其合著的Encyclopedic Dictio-nary of English Usage(1975,P.317)中认为要:“Avoid until such time as”。其实,“until such time as”是英语中的一个较为常见的结构。下而就是几个摘自名家作品中的实例: ①Meadows was wandering aboutthe premises until such time as Robin-son should return. (C. Reade: It IsNever Too Late to Mend) ②…I shall be asked no questionuntil such time as J may deem it ex-pedient to forestal them by telling myown Story. (C. Dickens: OliverTwist)
