詞句講解
1.第一句的主幹結構為“筷子是進食工具至今已有數千年的歷史”可使用插入語的形式，進行補充説明，使用 with ahistory of...進行翻譯。
2.第二句“筷子在古代…”中包含時間狀語“在古代”，因此句子的時態應為過去時。
3.在“它要麼上方下圓…上粗下細”一句中，“上下”主要指的是筷子的上半部分、下半部分，使用upper part和lower part來表達;“上方下圓”英譯時可以分享系動詞are，譯作upper parts are square and lower parts round，避免重複;“上下全圓”可譯作句子的主幹，後跟介詞短語with thicker upper parts and thinner lower parts説明“上粗下細”的形狀。
4.“不管其形狀如何”在翻譯時使用“whatever+n.(their shapes)+be動詞”結構，相當於狀語從句nomatter what their shapes are;“大小長短要相同”沒有直譯成 be of the same size and height，而譯為be identical to each other,後者的譯法更加優美。
5.最後一句中“它的發明…”可使用which引導的非限制性定語從句結構，對前一句進行進一步的説明。
