Answer 1

分析 Not until she knew about the relevant information in the newspaper did she realize how serious the problem of food waste was．

解答 Not until she knew about the relevant information in the newspaper did she realize how serious the problem of food waste was．
这是对过去事实的描述，所以用一般过去时．
根据所给的提示词not until可知，可使用not until引导的时间状语从句位于句首，后面的主句用倒装的结构，how引导一个宾语从句．

点评 对于翻译句子要做到忠于原文，恰当选用词汇、短语和句型很重要．本句中的倒装句型非常能体现出原文的意思．另外注意宾语从句的使用．
