峨眉山(Mout Emei)是中国最著名的四大佛教名山之一，壮丽而优雅。高鸷的山峰因绿色林区点缀而美丽。峨眉山不仅美丽，而且高大，爬上山是件很困难的事，尤其是对身体不好的人来说。不过，峨眉山配有缆车(cable car)，可以带你到山顶。在山顶的云雾缭绕中观看日出是非常美妙的经历。峨眉山也因其丰富的动植物资源而出名。在峨眉山，你可以见到许多珍稀濒危动植物物种。

Mout Emeiis also famous for its abundant animal and plant resources. Many rare and endangered animaland plant species can be seen there.
1.峨眉山不仅美丽，而且高大，爬上山是件很困难的`事，尤其是对身体不好的人来说：其中“不仅”可以理解为“除…外还有”，故可译为besides.
2.峨眉山配有缆车，可以带你到山顶：其中“配有”可译为beequipped with， equip意为“配备，装备”。“缆车”译为cablecars.“带某人到…”可用carry sb.to……表示。
3.峨眉山也因其丰富的动植物资源而出名：“因……而出名”可译为be famous for.“丰富的”可译为abundant，也可译为rich.“资源”可译为resource，注意和 source区分：前者是“资源”的意思，比较抽象，如：manpower resource(人力资源);后者是“来源”的意思，比较实际，如：water source(水源)。
3.元青花瓷
话题材料：
元代(the Yuan Dynasty)是中国瓷器(porcelain)发展史上—个重要的时期。基于先前朝代的烧制技术景德镇成功地制作出青花瓷(the blue and white porcelain)。元青花瓷富丽雄浑，其风格与传统的瓷器大相径庭。元青花瓷的出现也使景德镇成为当时世界制瓷业的中心。元青花瓷制作精美而且传世极少，因此异常珍贵。青花瓷的制作在明清两朝(the Mingand Qing Dynasties)得到进一步发展，其中的精品是许多收藏家的终极目标。
参考译文：
1.第2句中的前半句“基于……”可处理为状语，译为Basedon the firing techniques of former dynasties;后半句“景德镇成功地……”若逐字对译为Jingdezhen hadsuccessfully manufactured…则不符合英语表达习惯，“青花瓷”是此段落的主题，宜把“青花瓷”转换为主语，用被动语态强调受动者，译为the blue and white porcelains hadbeen successfully manufactured in Jingdezhen.
2.第3句中的“其”指代的是前面提到的“元青花瓷”，翻译时可将逗号后的“其风格与……大相径庭”处理成非限制性定语从句whose styles are quite different from…，使句子主次分明。
3.第4句中的“使景德镇成为当时世界制瓷业的中心”可用made sb./sth. …(使某人/某物成为……)的结构来表达，译为 made Jingdezhen the center of porcelain industry…。
4.倒数第2句的前半句为因，后半句为果，若直译，句子会稍显头重脚轻;此处可把果(即“元青花瓷异常珍贵”)处理成主干，即 the blue and white porcelains of the Yuan Dynasty are extremelyprecious，而把因处理成状语，用表被动的分词短语来表达，即finely made and rarely handed down.
5.最后一句的两个分句之间意思联系不太紧密，可考虑拆译成两个独立的句子，处理为The blue and whiteporcelains were further developed in…Some fine works are…for collectors.
The Yuan Dynasty is a key period in the developmentof Chinese porcelain industry. Based on the firingtechniques of former dynasties, the blue and whiteporcelains had been successfully manufactured inJingdezhen. The blue and white porcelains of theYuan Dynasty are grand and splendid, whose stylesare quite different from those of the traditional porcelains. The rising of blue and whiteporcelain in the Yuan Dynasty also made Jingdezhen the center of porcelain industry in theworld at that time. Finely made and rarely handed down, the blue and white porcelains of theYuan Dynasty are extremely precious. The blue and white porcelains were further developed inthe Ming and Qing Dynasties. Some fine works are the dream targets for collectors.
4.兵马俑
话题材料：
兵马俑(the Terracotta Army)由于它的历史意义和独特性而成为中国最知名的景点之一。秦始皇于公元前221年统一中国。他下令建造了这个军队的模型。兵马俑意义非常，因为数以百计精美的真人大小的模型代表了当时横扫中国所有其他军队的庞大军队。这个军队是统一的中国能够形成的决定性因素。兵马俑的陶俑(terracotta statues)是用来为秦始皇殉葬的，以彰显他的荣耀。
参考译文：

The army ofterracotta statues was made to be buried with the First Emperor of Qin as a show of his glory.
1.兵马俑由于它的历史意义和独特性而成为中国最知名的景点之一：“由于”后面跟的是词组，因此可译为because of，如果后面是完整的句子则用because.“最知名的景点”可译为the most famous attractions.
2.这个军队是统一的中国能够形成的决定性因素：“决定性因素”可译为decisive factor， decisive意为“决定性的”，与动词decide为同源词，factor意为“因素”。“统一的中国”可译为a united China.
3.兵马俑的陶俑是用来为秦始皇殉葬的，以彰显他的荣耀：该句要首先找准主语和谓语;主语是“兵马俑的陶俑”，可译为the army of terracotta statues.谓语 “是用来”，可译为was made to.其他部分则作表语和状语，“彰显他的荣耀”可译为as a show of his glory，“为……殉葬”可译为be buried with …。
5.九寨沟
话题材料：
据说如果地球上真有人间仙境，九寨沟(Jiuzhaigou Valley)—定是其中之一。它有梦境般的风景：蓝色的湖泊、瀑布、翠绿的森林、白雪皑皑的山脉，还有藏族和羌族人民(theTibetan and Qiang peoples)的民间习俗。九寨沟不仅仅有壮观的景色，还是九个藏族村寨的居住地，还有超过220种鸟类以及许多濒临灭绝的动植物物种。它在1992年被联合国教科文组织宣布为世界文化遗产。九寨沟一年四季的美景使它成为中国最著名的景点之一。
参考译文：
It is said that if there should be wonderlands on theearth, Jiuzhaigou Valley must be one of them. It hasdreamlike scenery, which combines bluelakes, waterfalls, verdant forests, snow-coveredmountains, and the folk customs of the Tibetan andQiang peoples. More than just spectacular scenery, Jiuzhaigou Valley is home to nine Tibetanvillages, over 220 bird species as well as a number of endangered plant and animal species.Jiuzhaigou Valley was declared a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1992. It providesspectacular scenery throughout four seasons of the year, making it one of China's most well-known scenic sites.
1.据说如果地球上真有人间仙境，九寨沟一定是其中之一：该句前半句的“如果…”可判断出它表示与现在的事实相反，所以要用现在时的虚拟语气，即should+do的形式。其中“人间仙境”可译为wonderlands on the earth.
2.九寨沟不仅仅有壮观的景色，还是九个藏族村寨的居住地，还有超过220种鸟类以及许多濒临灭绝的动植物物种：其中“不仅仅有”可译为more than，是“超过，多于”的意思。“…的居住地”可以理解为“是…的故乡”，故可用be home to…表示，这是英语中常见的表达方式，如：China is home to the panda.(中国是熊猫的故乡。)
3.九寨沟一年四季的美景使它成为中国最著名的景点之一：“一年四季的美景”可以翻译为所有格的形式，但译为it provides spectacular scenery throughout four seasons of the year，会使译文增色不少。后半句部分因前半句出现了谓语动词provide，所以可用making it…来引导后半句，作句子的伴随状语。
