参考答案；[hide]

1. It is not until they lose it

大家对not until/until的用法掌握比较好，不过比较少人用it来替代下文的health，答案的替代比较简洁，翻译中应该避免重复使用同一个词。

2.with dirty clothes

这里主要是考察be stuffed with (被填满)的用法，这是一个四级单词，是搭配问题。

3.With many friends absent

这里主要是考察对absent adj./vi./absence n.缺席的各种表达，如果按照原文“不在”翻译，显然比较生硬且与下文不符，因此要善于根据上下文推断原文意思。

4.What impressed me the most

名词性从句what impressed me the most，有部分沪友遗漏了其中的"the"，表示最高级一般都要使用定贯词the，如the largest、the hardest等。

5. less powerful than the ones we have made

很多人都用比较级，可是却忽略了比较级是用在形容词/副词上的，如faster、bigger、more beautiful等。因此这里应该用power的形容词powerful，另要强调机器是我们制造的-we have made.[hide]

1. It was essential that _______________(我们在月底前签订合同).

2. _______________(家庭人口多好还是人口少好)is a very popular topic，which is often talked about not only by city residents but by farmers as well.

3. We must _____________(用一切可能的办法来帮助他们).

4. We ________________(尽情地吃了一顿)at the new restaurant last Friday.

5. To most of the travelers，________________(衣、食、住、行)are all important elements.

1. We sign the contract by the end of the month

解析：当表示愿望，要求，命令等含义的形容词如advisable，appropriate，better，best，desirable，essential，fitting，imperative，important，impossible，incredible，insistent，natural，necessary，obligatory，preferable，proper，ridiculous，strange，surprising，urgent，vital 出现在形式主语句中时，从句要用虚拟语气。"签订合同"英语固定说法是sign the contract。"在月底前"要用by the end of，而不是at the end of。

2. Whether a large family is good or not

解析：如果按照中文顺序逐一翻译就会得出译文Whether a large family is good thing or a small family is a good thing，这并没有语法错误，但不符合英语表达习惯。"家庭人口多好还是少好"可以理解为：家庭人口多是好事?还是坏事?所以这里我们可以采用反译法，将"还是人口少好"转移为汉语意思为"(人口多是好)还是不好"的英文表达--or not，使译文简洁明了，避免罗嗦。

3. help them in every way possible

解析：本题最有可能出现的译文是：use very possible way to help them。这样译文不能说错，但不是最间接、最好的翻译。英语里，通常把方式状语放在谓语部分之后，所以可得出译文：help them in every possible way。原句"可能"出现在被修饰语"办法"之前。根据英文习惯，"可能"的对应词possible应该放在所修饰的中心词way之后，所以有了最终译文：help them in every way possible。

4. ate to our hearts’ content

解析：本题让考生们困扰的是如何翻译"一顿"这个量词。其实，"一顿"是
