问题 Not until this week were they aware of the problems with the air-conditioning units in the hotel rooms.

选项 A、这个星期旅馆里的空调间出问题了,他们没有意识到。
B、直到这个星期他们才意识到该修理旅馆房间里的空调了。
C、直到这个星期他们才知道旅馆房间里的空调设备有问题。
D、他们查不出旅馆房间内空调的故障,这个星期会请人来检查。

答案C

解析 评分标准:C—B—A—D    2—1—0.5—0
此句是个简单句。本题如不倒装,应为:They were not aware of the problems with the air-conditioning units in the hotel rooms until this week.当not until放句首时,句子的主谓语倒装,表示加强语气。这时要将系动词、助动词、情态动词提前。本题重点把握not until的意思“直到……才”,容易造成错译。
综合看来C项最为贴切。B项翻译比较准确,但是aware of后面的problems应译为“问题”或“故障”,而不是“该修理”。A项对关键词aware of“意识到”译反了;另外,not until也没有译出,unit “设备”译错。选项D没有掌握句子结构和语义,造成句子意思混乱。“他们查不出旅馆房间内空调的故障,这个星期会请人来检查”,与原文相去甚远。
