【1】綜合答案

It was not until he took up fishing that he ____ to relax.

A. had been beginning

B. began ? ??

C. had begun ? ??

D. beginning

答案：B

句意：直到他開始以釣魚為樂，他才開始得到了輕松的休息。

分析：此句為強調句，所強調的時間狀語從句部分的動作幾乎和主句的動作同時發生，時間狀語從句的謂語動詞為過去時，因而主句的謂語動詞采用過去時便可。

not until的意思為?直到...才?，而notuntil有倒裝句及以it當主詞的用法，而not until所連接的兩個子句時態需一致。

Not until ...+助動詞+S+V...(倒裝句用法，Not until置于句首，通常為強調語氣，而主要子句需要倒裝：助動詞+S+V)

=It+be+not until...+that+S+V...=S+助動詞+not ....until+S+V...

It was not until he took up fishing that he began?to relax.

= He didn't begin to relax until he took up fishing.

take up?在這里的意思是開始做一些新的事

（start doing something new）

I took up jogging in the morning.

我早上開始起來慢跑。

【2】三筆真題 漢譯英

作為中國浙江省省會城市，杭州是中國著名歷史文化名城。距今約5300多年的良渚文化遺址（位于杭州余杭區）是中華文明發祥地之一。

譯文來自網絡，有多個版本。選了幾個大家看看吧。

句子分析：

主干：杭州是名城。良渚是發祥地。

找到主干，其他修飾成分就看如何往里插入了。

第一句

作為中國浙江省省會城市?可以作杭州的同位語。英譯漢的時候，經常是把修飾主語的成分作為同位語插入主語和謂語之間，用逗號隔開。

歷史文化修飾名城，所以都翻譯成形容詞修飾名城??historical and cultural

第二句

良渚文化遺址?The Liangzhu Culture?ruins/relic（良渚一定要大寫）

（位于杭州余杭區）直接翻譯即可

距今約5300多年的良渚文化遺址? 偏正短語處理成主謂結構。date back 5,300 years.

中華文明發祥地??one of the birthplaces for Chinese civilization?

個人偏愛版本：

Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang?Province,?is a famous historic and cultural city in China.?The Liangzhu Culture?ruins (in Yuhang District, Hangzhou), which?date back 5,300 years,?is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization.
