【1】综合答案
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：直到他开始以钓鱼为乐，他才开始得到了轻松的休息。
分析：此句为强调句，所强调的时间状语从句部分的动作几乎和主句的动作同时发生，时间状语从句的谓语动词为过去时，因而主句的谓语动词采用过去时便可。
not until的意思为｢直到...才｣，而notuntil有倒装句及以it当主词的用法，而not until所连接的两个子句时态需一致。
Not until ...+助动词+S+V...(倒装句用法，Not until置于句首，通常为强调语气，而主要子句需要倒装：助动词+S+V)
=It+be+not until...+that+S+V...=S+助动词+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 在这里的意思是开始做一些新的事
（start doing something new）
I took up jogging in the morning.
我早上开始起来慢跑。
【2】三笔真题 汉译英
作为中国浙江省省会城市，杭州是中国著名历史文化名城。距今约5300多年的良渚文化遗址（位于杭州余杭区）是中华文明发祥地之一。
译文来自网络，有多个版本。选了几个大家看看吧。
句子分析：
主干：杭州是名城。良渚是发祥地。
找到主干，其他修饰成分就看如何往里插入了。
第一句
作为中国浙江省省会城市 可以作杭州的同位语。英译汉的时候，经常是把修饰主语的成分作为同位语插入主语和谓语之间，用逗号隔开。
历史文化修饰名城，所以都翻译成形容词修饰名城 historical and cultural
第二句
良渚文化遗址 The Liangzhu Culture ruins/relic（良渚一定要大写）
（位于杭州余杭区）直接翻译即可
距今约5300多年的良渚文化遗址 偏正短语处理成主谓结构。date back 5,300 years.
中华文明发祥地 one of the birthplaces for Chinese civilization
