1. 翻译：还好，我们在推出产品之前及时发现了一个瑕疵，并马上解决了问题。

Thankfully, we had found a defect, being solved immediately, before we rolled up our product. （自己）

Thankfully, we spotted a product defect in time and fixed it before the launch. （参考翻译）

分析：参考翻译的launch用得是否贴切，地道，且名词化（把推出产品变成产品发布会）。其他的用词如spot, fix用得也很好，替换掉我的选词更准确。而且再一次出现时态问题。

2. 生活场景运用

I failed the most crucial entrence exam in my life. Thankfully, that was just a nightmare.
