1.在第一句中,“創作于明清時期”和“四部最偉大、最有影響力的”都是修飾“小說”的前置定語,為了避免譯文累贅,可將“創作于明清時期的”用過去分詞作定語表達,置于“小說”之后。
2.第二句可直接按照漢語語序來翻譯,“閱讀四大名著”可用動名詞reading...作主語。
3.倒數第二句“四部小說都已被改編成…”,可將“四部小說被改編成…”作為主干結構“廣受到…的喜愛”用過去分詞短語favored by...表達,在句子中作狀語。
4.最后一句由三個分句組成,如果直譯成三個英文句子,句式會顯得沉悶。參考譯文將第一個分句用現在分詞結構表達,譯為being high in artistic standard,置于句首作狀語;第二、三個分句則用并列連詞and來連接。

1.在第二句話中,前一個分句“是正規教育的有效補充”,可使用“as+名詞短語”結構,譯為as an effectivesupplement to regular education;把第二個分句“繼續教育是終身學習體系的重要組成部分”作為英文的主句。
2.在“在中國,繼續教育有自學考試…等多種授課方式”這一句中有兩個動詞:“包括”、“有”。可以像參考譯文那樣將第二個分句翻譯成with various teaching methods, such as...,也可以將此句譯成兩個獨立的分句。
