【考点解析】

中文是一种动态的语言，而英文偏静态。这就决定了两种语言在表达上的差异，中文多习题用动词，而英文则多用名词和介词。把握了这一点的情况下，我们在翻译的时候，一个句子当出现多个动词时，可以用并列结构来呈现，也可以用名词性短语来替换，例如，原文中提到“这一时期，经济发达，商业繁荣，社会秩序稳定，甚至边境也对外开放”时，中间的这四个动宾短语“经济发达，商业繁荣，社会秩序稳定，甚至边境也对外开放”，就可以改用名词性短语来替换，即为“developed economy, commercial prosperity, stable social order, and even the border open to the outside world”。此外，汉译英有些表达，有些高大上的词不会表达，我们可以用稍为简单的词来替换，考场上要随机应变，考场下要夯实基础，注重积累。祝各位考生朋友顺利通过英语六级考试！
