Question

I didn’t buy the dictionary yesterday ______ my aunt would give me one.
A.until B.because C.if D.before
为什么选D?

Answer 1

I didn’t buy the dictionary yesterday _________ my aunt would give me one.
A.untilB.becauseC.ifD.before
答案:B (选择A的同学要注意语境)
翻译：我昨天没有买电子词典（是因为）我姑姑将来会给我一个（电子词典的）
前后是很明显的原因关系.would give 是过去将来时,指的是将来会给,如果选A翻译为直到,不通顺.选C（如果）,D（在……之前）都不通.
