遙想長(zhǎng)安
長(zhǎng)安，今稱西安，是唐朝的都城。唐朝時(shí)期的長(zhǎng)安約比今天的西安大11倍，是具有國(guó)際聲譽(yù)的大都市(metropolis)。長(zhǎng)安的街道和住宅設(shè)計(jì)得像一個(gè)棋盤，東西布局整潔、勻稱。長(zhǎng)安城內(nèi)，很多街道的寬度都超過了100米。長(zhǎng)安也是當(dāng)時(shí)中國(guó)的文化中心，有豐富多樣的娛樂活動(dòng)，如音樂、舞蹈、斗雞(cock fighting)等。很多日本和朝鮮的學(xué)生紛紛來到長(zhǎng)安學(xué)習(xí)，中亞的商人經(jīng)絲綢之路(the Silk Road) 聚集在此。長(zhǎng)安城約100萬人口之中，外國(guó)人就超過了1萬戶。

詞句點(diǎn)撥
1.今稱西安:作為同位語，可譯為now called Xi'an，也可以說now known as Xi'an。
2.具有國(guó)際聲譽(yù)的大都市:可譯為a metropolis with an international reputation。
3.設(shè)計(jì)得像一個(gè)棋盤:可譯為be designed like a chessboard。
4.布局:可譯為layout。“東西布局”即 layout of the east and west。

動(dòng)人的古代神話
盡管中國(guó)古代神話(mythology)沒有十分完整的情節(jié)，神話人物也沒有系統(tǒng)的家譜(genealogy)，但它們卻有著鮮明的東方文化特色，其中尤為顯著的是它的尚德精神(the spirit of esteeming virtue)。這種尚德精神在與西方神話特別是希臘神話比較時(shí)，顯得更加突出。在西方神話尤其是希臘神話中，對(duì)神的褒貶標(biāo)準(zhǔn)多以智慧、力量為準(zhǔn)則，而中國(guó)古代神話對(duì)神的褒貶則多以道德為準(zhǔn)繩。這種思維方式深植于中國(guó)的文化之中。幾千年來，這種尚德精神影響著人們對(duì)歷史人物的品評(píng)與現(xiàn)實(shí)人物的期望。
參考譯文：
Although ancient Chinese mythology does not have relatively complete plot and mythological figures don't have systematic genealogy, they have distinct features of oriental culture, among which the spirit of esteeming virtue is particularly significant.When compared with Western mythology, especially Greek mythology, this spirit of esteeming virtue is even more prominent.In Western mythology, especially Greek mythology,the criteria for judging whether a god is good or not are mostly the god's wisdom and strength,while in ancient Chinese mythology, the criterion lies in morality. This way of thinking is deeply rooted in Chinese culture.For thousands of years, this spirit of esteeming virtue has affected people's comments on historical figures and expectations of real people.
詞句點(diǎn)撥
1.神話人物:可譯為mythological figures。
2.系統(tǒng)的家譜:可譯為systematic genealogy。其中systematic意為系統(tǒng)的，是system的形容詞形式。
3.其中尤為顯著的是它的尚德精神:將此句譯為定語從句among which the spirit of esteeming virtue is particularly significant,承接前一句，可以使譯文結(jié)構(gòu)更加緊湊，邏輯更加清晰。
