動人的古代神話儘管中國古代神話(mythology)沒有十分完整的情節,神話人物也沒有系統的家譜(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,顯得更加突出。在西方神話尤其是希臘神話中,對神的褒貶標準多以智慧、力量為準則,而中國古代神話對神的褒貶則多以道德為準繩。這種思維方式深植於中國的文化之中。幾千年來,這種尚德精神影響著人們對歷史人物的品評與現實人物的期望。
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 compared with Western mythology, especially Greek mythology, this spirit of esteeming virtue is even more 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 thousands of years, this spirit of esteeming virtue has affected people's comments on historical figures and expectations of real people.

1.神話人物:可譯為mythological figures。
2.系統的家譜:可譯為systematic genealogy。其中systematic意為系統的,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,可以使譯文結構更加緊湊,邏輯更加清晰。
陷入打車難窘境打車難已經成為大城市人們生活中較為普遍的問題。城市人口規模的擴大,人類社會活動的不斷多元(diversification)化都增加了對計程車的需求。隨著城市交通擁堵狀況不斷加劇,為避免堵車影響收人,上下班高峰時段很多司機不願意跑擁堵路段和主城區,導致市民在一些交通樞紐、商業中心、醫院附近很難打到計程車。城市建設影響了計程車的使用效率。計程車行業不規範,拒載行為屢屢發生,這也是導致打車難的人為因素。
參考譯文:
It has been a common problem in large city residents' life that it's hard to take a taxi. The increase of urban population and diversification of social activities make the demand for taxi rise. As the traffic jam becomes worse in cities,to guarantee personal income, many taxi drivers refuse to drive on busy roads and main urban areas, which makes it difficult for many citizens to take a taxi near some transportation junctions, commercial centers and hospitals. City construction affects the efficiency of taxi. Being not standard in the taxi industry and taxi drivers' often refusing to take passengers are the human factors that make it difficult to take a taxi.
詞句點撥

2.增加了對計程車的需求:可譯為make the demand for taxi rise。
3.為避免堵車影響收入:可靈活地譯為to guarantee personal income。採用逆向譯法,上下文反覆出現“堵車”這個詞,所以可以省略。
4.計程車行業不規範,拒載行為屢屢發生:這裡是說明原因,為了句式簡明,可以處理為動名詞和獨立主格的形式,直接充當句子主語。
5.人為因素:可譯為human factor。
