1. 真可惜,他不能来参加婚礼了。
翻译:What a pity. He can not attend the wedding.
答案:It is a pity that he can’t attend the wedding.

主语从句3
It is 名词短语 that
2. 据估计,银河系之外的辽阔天空存在着千百万个星系。
翻译:It is reported that there are millions of galaxys in the broad sky out of the Milk Way galaxy.

outside the Milky Way.
解析:据估计,不是据报道,应该用estimate
主语从句类型1:it is 过去分词 that
据说 It is said that...
据报道 It is reported that...
Galaxies 才是复数形式。

vast&broad
*vast:
of very great extent or quantity; immerse
e.g. vast plain
*broad:
having an ample distance from side to side; wide
covering a large number and wide scope of subjects and areas

解析:时态忽略了,过去发生,过去式
普遍认为:commonly
逐渐止息:die out
prior to 和 before
*prior to:
before a particular time or event
*before:prep. conj. & ad.
during the period of time preceding (a particular event, date, or a time) 在(某事情、日期或时间)之前

好好利用:make good use of
