- Till and until are generally interchangeable in both writing and speech, though as the first word in a sentenceuntil is usually preferred: Till 和 until 普遍认为在口语和书面语中都可通用， 而作为句子的第一个词时，until 更为常用： Until you get that paper written don't even think about going to the movies. · 除非你把那篇文章写完了，否则别想去看电影。
- Till is actually the older word, withuntil having been formed by the addition to it of the prefix un-, meaning "up to.” In the 18th centurythe spelling'till became fashionable, as iftill were a shortened form of until. Although'till is now nonstandard, 'til is sometimes used in this way and is considered acceptable, though it is etymologically incorrect. Till 实际上是这两个词中较早使用的一个， 在它前面加一个表示“直到”的前缀un- 构成了 until 。 在18世纪，'till 这种拼写方式很时髦， 似乎till 成了 until 的缩写形式。 尽管'till 现在不是标准的用法， 即使从词源学角度讲它是不正确的，'til 有时还这样使用，而且被认为是可以接受的
