泰山为中国五岳之首，素有"天下第一山"之称。她集丽、幽、妙、奥、旷於一景，绘人、文、山、水、木於一图，宛如一座巨大的历史与艺术的天然博物馆

　　登游泰山是数千年来炎黄子孙的宿愿。多少帝王君主曾在此封禅设祭，文人墨客在此吟哦题咏，善男信女在此寻求神佑，寻常百姓在此畅游舒怀。

　　泰山之游，其乐无穷。

　　原译：As natural museum of history and art. Mount Tai is the head of five famous Mount in China， called as first Mount.

　　To visit Mount Tai has been Chinese wish for thousands years. At Mount Tai many emperors held the sacrifice offerings， poets wrote the poems， superstitious persons blest and common people traveled.

　　To visit Mount Tai is happiest.

　　改译：Listed at the top of the five famous mountains of China， the Taishan Mountain has long been enjoying the reputation of "the first mountain under the heaven." Combining beauty， calm， wonder， mystery and grandeur in one scene， and putting human， cultural stuff， mountain， water and wood in one picture， it seems to be a great natural museum of history and art.

　　For thousands of years， it has been the wish of most Chinese to climb and mount this mountain. Emperors came here to set altars to offer sacrifices to the heaven； scholars came here to chant poems； men of letters came here to make inscriptions； superstitious men and women came here to seek gods' blessing； ordinary secular people came here to experience the pleasure of travel.

　　Touring the Taishan Mountain is really exciting and rewarding.

　　分析：原文第一句逗号前是原因，逗号后是结果。译成英语原因部分用分词短语表达。第二句汉语有两个逗号分成三个部分，翻译时前两个部分用分词短语表达。用分词短语表示原因是书面英语语体，很适合汉语原文的文体。

　　例三：

　　徐家汇地区所处地理位置得天独厚，对外交通和区域交通均十分便利、发达。它是松江、奉贤、青浦、金山等卫星城镇进入市中心的咽喉，又是浙江、江西、安徽、福建等省进入上海的重要门户。徐家汇地区本身即将拥有上海最先进的五层立体交通网，即：地铁、下立交、地面、上立交、高架环路，四通八达的现代化立体交通网络，使徐家汇地区与上海市海、陆、空港及市中心区和浦东新区之间的交通十分畅通便捷，成为上海日益重要的交通枢纽。

　　原译：Downtown Xu Jia Hui of having convenient communication is the gateway into Shanghai from Zhejiang， Jiangxi， Anhui and Fujian province， and Songjiang， Qingpu and Jinshan county. Xu Jia Hui with update communication network of being the subway， overpass， ground and overhead circular road becomes important hub of communication in Shanghai.

　　改译：The district of Xu Jia Hui enjoys a unique geographic advantage. It has a developed and convenient transportation system which links it with other districts and suburbs of Shanghai， as well as the surrounding provinces. It is the throat through which vehicles from satellite towns such as Songjiang， Fengxian， Qinpu and Jinshan can get to the downtown of shanghai and also the gate through which those from Zhejiang， Jiangxi， Anhui and Fujian provinces can do so. The district itself will possess the most advanced quintuple-level transportation network of subways， underpasses， ground-level roads， overpasses and a circular viaduct， thus becoming a transportation hub of Shanghai that has easy access to the seaports， airports， railway stations， city center and the new district of Pudong .

　　分析：第一句汉语讲了两个思想点：第一，地理位置得天独厚，第二，交通便利、发达。两个思想点是相互独立的，所以英语分成两个句子。第二句汉语里"卫星城镇进入市中心"，"省进入上海"这种语言表达逻辑汉语可以，英语不通，因此英语要加 vehicles，使符合英语思维逻辑。第二句和第三句汉语较长，通过分析其内部成分的逻辑关系，设计一个能包容全部内容，既不大也不小的两个英语句子结构把原文的意思贴切表达出来。另外，"徐家汇"三个字在段落中重复了三次。译成英语时，只在开头用"徐家汇" 以后都用代词it.

　　翻译是用目的语的语言把本源语的语言原原本本转换过来的艺术再创造过程。英语和汉语的巨大差别决定了翻译时宏观设计的必要性。侧重文体，文化，或者侧重词法、句法、成语等微观技巧处理，而忽略从比较语言学角度出发的宏观设计显然不能使译文完美，也不能有好的翻译效果。随着我国对外开放和对外交流的加强，翻译的量势必大大增加。进一步研究翻译的宏观设计和微观处理技巧，提高翻译质量和效果当是翻译界的一项重任。
