✔ 最佳答案

(1) Up for grabs = available (我想意思是land available for auction. 不知如何譯較好,或許可譯為 “土地等待拍賣”

(2) Full-scale auction 全面拍賣 (不清楚什麼是全面拍賣,這可能與勾地的規則有關)

(3) By far

WORD 字典:
by far (修飾比較級，最高級，表示數量，程度等)…得多；尤其；更(This is by far the best. 這個尤其好)

Yahoo 字典:
顯然
This book is by far the best.
這本書顯然是最好的。

但我覺得譯為“到現時為止”較順.

(4) the largest site up for auction
– 你拆句不正確,應該是the largest site (which is) up for auction. 最大塊供拍賣的土地.
