In the example sentences, we have:

我絕對不會離開你的,除非你先背叛了我。

I haven't studied the use of 了 for the future, or found a reference to it yet. I've seen it a few times and it seems to be a hypothetical usage. Can it be used for hypothetical changes of state as well as actual ones that have recently occurred?

Is there a good explanation or podcast on this use of this 了 somewhere?

這次的地震演習結束!

- Would this sentence also be acceptable to add a 'change of state' 了 at the end, to show the fire drill has just finished? Or does the 結束 do that all by itself?

Another practice sentence:

He doesn't have any enthusiasm for his job at all:

對他的工作他(甚麼都?)沒有任何激情。

or maybe

有關他的工作他(甚麼都?)沒有任何激情。

Here's a practice sentence. 怎麼樣?

我朋友不願意娶她女朋友因為他不喜歡負責任。

(My friend isn't willing to marry his girlfriend because he doesn't like to take responsibility.)

Yes I recently discovered translations of a book like you mentioned:

(choose traditional or simplified Chinese).

@misterjess

I use http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php - really useful for example stroke order videos, character decomposition and pronunciation too.
