1.長江出�？谔�:可譯為at the mouth of the Yangtze River,注意長江一詞的拼寫和大小寫。 2.旅游勝地:可譯為tourist attraction 或者 tourist resort。 3.外灘和城隍廟:應(yīng)譯為Bund,City God Temple,這種專有名詞不能隨意翻譯，需要平時(shí)多多記憶。 4.世界文化和設(shè)計(jì)中心:可譯為cosmopolitan center of culture and design，“世界性的”可譯為cosmopolitan,若譯為world就略顯平庸。 5.典范:可譯為showpiece。showpiece尤指令人驚嘆的樣板，比example更合適，翻譯時(shí)要根據(jù)同義詞的細(xì)小差異判斷選詞。
