答案与解析：
1. Instead of going swimming
原文中 没有 并不一定要对应成didn t，这里我们可以使用instead of，使译文简洁明了，合乎英语习惯。采用正译法，用英语不带否定词的表达来代替中文的 没有去 。从本题及Exercise Two中的第二题我们可以得出结论：汉译英时，可以灵活变换句型，充分利用英语的否定或半否定语气的词语或结构，以便使译句符合英语习惯。从另一角度看，后半句英语没有出现表示转折含义的连接词(如but)，因此They didn t go swimming也是不成立的，不符合句法规范。
2. the increase in demand resulted in /caused the rise in prices
