点评
词汇：乌镇这篇四级翻译没有超纲单词或者难词，需要大家翻译的时候小心的是riverside（河畔）、water town（水镇）、dwellings（住宅）、markets（集市）、spacious（宽敞）等等。
句式：根据逗号独立成句的简化翻译技巧，可以把这篇翻译拆分成短句来翻。当然，语法基础好的同学也可以运用非谓语的形式，例如Located on the riverside of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Wuzhen of Zhejiang Province is an ancient water town.
时态：近年来，地点通常结合历史一起考查，所以描述性介绍城市地区特色时，用一般现在时，而在描述历史经历的时候用一般过去时或完成时态。
