问题描述:

They decided to chase the cow away___it did more damage
A:unless
B:until
C:before
D:although
选哪个?为什么?

C 句子的中文意思是他们决定在这头奶牛损害更多东西之前把它赶跑。
UNLESS是除非的意思,until是知道的意思,although是尽管的意思,这三个词带入句子后都无法成立,所以只能选before。

They decided to chase the cow away___it did more damage
选C
before除了有“在.之前”的意思之外,还可以以译为“还没来得及”
所以这句话最好译为:
趁这头奶牛还没来得及对此造成更大的损害,他们决定将它赶走.
