it was not until ... that | только когда (with verbs in the past: On May 2 at about 3:00pm, my neighbor Ken took a series of 3 shots of me throwing my Frisbee in my backyard. I should have seen that white disc in the top left corner, but I didn't and neither did my friend who was taking the photos. It was not until I downloaded the pictures to my computer that I saw it. We are truly perplexed that we didn't see it at the time. ART Vancouver) |
that does not concern me | это меня не касается |
that is not the point | не в этом дело (That is not the point. What I'm saying is that some bus drivers should not be on the road. I just saw a near-accident caused by a transit bus travelling in the right turn lane and blowing straight through the intersection. The guy turning left was almost T-boned. ART Vancouver) |
that's not really the case | всё совсем не так (It can feel like this must be true, as every new building project works its way through an agonizing steeplechase to get approved—as if every metre of height and every protruding corner will be the last straw for this so-so-so crowded city. However, as anyone who has lived here longer than a month knows, that’s not really the case. There are squares, rectangles, slices, whole blocks of mystifyingly empty land throughout our supposedly high-priced, packed-to-the-gills metropolis. bcbusiness.ca ART Vancouver) |
