如果把 until 换做 at,意思就彻底变了。语法对,意思错,句子仍然错!

It was occasionally used as a royal palace for the Kings and Queens of England at the time of James I.

It was occasionally used as a royal palace for the Kings and Queens of England until the time of James I.

第一句是说:伦敦塔用作皇家宫殿是在詹姆士一世统治时期。(与事实不符)

第二句是说:伦敦塔用作皇家宫殿是在詹姆士一世统治之前

until 的意思指:一个动作或状态,持续到 until 后面的时间为止,到了这个时间必须结束。因此这里翻译为“在......之前”。据说,伦敦塔此后变成了监狱、刑场,还有幼儿园等。
