    參考翻譯:
    Han Dynasty, founded in 202 BC, was one of thelongest dynasties in Chinese history. It was dividedinto two periods: the Western Han Dynasty and theEastern Han Dynasty. Considered a golden age, HanDynasty created a glorious civilization in variousaspects, including economy, culture, art as well as science and technology, etc. Han Dynastylaid a foundation for the ethnic culture of the Han Nationality, and Confucianism respected bythe Western Han Dynasty became the mainstream ideology of China. Business and tradeflourished during the Western Han Dynasty, with the opening of the Silk Road as an importanteconomic achievement.Technological advances were also great achievement in this period. Itwas during this time that two great Chinese inventions, papermaking and porcelain, weredeveloped. In 220, the Eastern Han Dynasty collapsed and the ruling of Han Dynasty ended.
    1.第一句話中有三個(gè)短句,為避免譯成英文時(shí)句子顯得冗長(zhǎng),可處理為兩個(gè)獨(dú)立的句子。第一個(gè)短句“建于公元前202年”譯成founded in 202 BC,作插入語(yǔ)?!胺譃槲鳚h與東漢兩個(gè)階段”獨(dú)立成句,增譯主語(yǔ)it,用以指代漢朝。
    2.“漢朝被稱(chēng)為黃金時(shí)代”譯為considered a golden age,用過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)作狀語(yǔ),代替狀語(yǔ)從句,這樣顯得句式簡(jiǎn)潔而又靈活。
    3.第四句“在西漢時(shí)期…”由兩個(gè)短句組成,可將“商業(yè)貿(mào)易蓬勃發(fā)展”作為句子主干,將“絲綢之路的開(kāi)辟是…”處理成with引導(dǎo)的介賓結(jié)構(gòu),作伴隨狀語(yǔ),即譯成with the opening up of the Silk Road as an importanteconomic achievement。
    4.“技術(shù)進(jìn)步也是漢朝的重要成就”這一句話較長(zhǎng),可拆譯成兩個(gè)句子。“中國(guó)兩個(gè)偉大發(fā)明是在這一時(shí)期…”可用強(qiáng)調(diào)句It was...that...表達(dá)。
