【考點解析】

中文是一種動態的語言，而英文偏靜態。這就決定了兩種語言在表達上的差異，中文多習題用動詞，而英文則多用名詞和介詞。把握了這一點的情況下，我們在翻譯的時候，一個句子當出現多個動詞時，可以用並列結構來呈現，也可以用名詞性短語來替換，例如，原文中提到「這一時期，經濟發達，商業繁榮，社會秩序穩定，甚至邊境也對外開放」時，中間的這四個動賓短語「經濟發達，商業繁榮，社會秩序穩定，甚至邊境也對外開放」，就可以改用名詞性短語來替換，即為「developed economy, commercial prosperity, stable social order, and even the border open to the outside world」。此外，漢譯英有些表達，有些高大上的詞不會表達，我們可以用稍為簡單的詞來替換，考場上要隨機應變，考場下要夯實基礎，注重積累。祝各位考生朋友順利通過英語六級考試!
