1. The temperature can be as low as -15℃.
as...as意为“和……一样”，表示同级的比较。使用时要注意第一个as为副词，第二个as为连词。其基本结构为：as + adj./ adv. + as。例如：
(1) This film is as interesting as that one.
这部电影和那部电影一样有趣。
(2) Your pen writes as smoothly as mine.
你的钢笔书写起来和我的一样流畅。
其否定式为not as/so + adj./ adv. + as。例如：
This dictionary is not as/so useful as you think.
这本字典不如你想象的那样有用。
若有修饰成分，如twice, three times, half, a quarter等，则须置于第一个as之前。例如：
Your bag is twice as expensive as mine.
你的袋子比我的贵一倍。
2. We probably won’t see any flowers until May or June!
not...until “直到……才”表示直到某一时间，某一行为才发生。主句中的谓语可以是延续性的也可以是短暂性动词。?
知识点回顾：
until “直到”，表示某一种行为一直持续到某一时间。谓语动词必须是可延续性的。
1. I studied English until 9 o’clock last night.?
我昨晚学英语一直学到9点钟。
(表示9点前一直在学)?
2. I did not study English until 9 o’clock last night.?

not...untill=not...before=after
