问题 　　中国是世界上河流众多的国家之一。长江是中国最大的河流，也是世界第三长河，仅次于非洲的尼罗河（the Nile River）和南美洲的亚马逊河（the Amazon River）。长江全长约6397千米，流域（catchment area）总面积达180万平方千米。长江中下游地区气候温暖湿润，降雨丰富，土壤肥沃，因而成为重要的农业区。长江有“黄金水道”之称，是连接中国东西部的交通要道。黄河是中国第二大河，全长约5464千米，流城面积约79万平方千米。黄河河谷是中国古代文明的发源地之一，有丰美的牧场和丰富的矿藏。
选项
答案 　　China is notable in the world for its large number of rivers. The Yangtze River is the largest river in China, and also the third-longest in the world, next only to the Nile River in Africa and the Amazon River in South America. It is about 6 397 kilometers long, with a catchment area of 1.8 million square kilometers. The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are endowed with warm and humid climate, plentiful rainfall and fertile soil, which makes the area an important agricultural region. Known as "the golden waterway", the Yangtze River is a transportation artery linking the west and the east of China. The Yellow River, about 5 464 kilometers in length, is the second-largest river in China and has a catchment area of about 790 000 square kilometers. The Yellow River Valley, one of the birthplaces of ancient Chinese civilization, boasts lush pastureland and abundant mineral deposits.
解析       1.首句虽然很短，但不太好翻译，可以直译成“China is one of the countries in the world with a large number of rivers.”，也可以意译成“China is notable in the world for its large number of rivers.”。notable意为“显要的，显著的”。
      2.第四句中的“长江中下游地区”可以译为The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River，“气候温暖湿润，降雨丰富，土壤肥沃”可分别译为三个并列的名词短语warm and humid climate. plentiful rainfall 和fertile soil。
      3.第五句可以直接译为一个简单句，把“长江…是连接中国东西部的交通要道”译成句子的主干部分。“连接中国东西部”可译为现在分词短语作后置定语。“有‘黄金水道’之称”可译为过去分词短语Known as "the golden waterway"，置于句首作句子的状语。
      4.倒数第二句中，“全长约5464千米”的常见译法是about 5 464 kilometers long，但是这种译法与前面描述长江时的译法重复，故可以译成about 5 464 kilometers in length，使语言表达更加丰富多样。
