1. 车从这里的地铁爬上天桥，颤颤巍巍地从又乱又脏的街区开过去，往下一望，有时会突然看到一栋破极了的大楼的窗子里，有一些脸色神秘的东方人，穿着日式的大黑衣服，在练拳。再往下一望，看到一个穿脏花裙子的黑老女人，摇摆着生了痛风病的胖腿，拿着一个大塑料袋，气息奄奄地走过去。要是心情恍惚的话，会以为自己走到好莱坞的影城里去了，这里正好是在拍犯罪片。
From here, the train is to climb up onto the overpass and wobble its way through this dirty and messy block. Looking downward, in the window of a certain extremely dilapidated building, passengers may see by chance some mysterious-looking Orientals dressed in Japanese-style dark suits practicing karate. Looking further downward, they may spot an old black woman, wearing a dirty flowery skirt, with a big plastic bag in her hands, struggling to catch her breath as she totters along on fat legs swollen with gout. Should a passenger happen to be in a dreamy and imaginative mood, he might think he has blundered into Hollywood where a crime movie is just being photographed.
解析：1．本段为描述性文字，故采用一般现在时为总体时态。翻译汉语的无主句时应注意补充主语，以符合英语的句式规范。
2．第1句较长，可根据意思断为两句。原文后半句省略了主语，翻译时应根据上下文补充主语passengers，或者可用具有泛指意思的代词one。
3．“一栋破极了的大楼”不是指某一个特定的大楼，将其译成a certain extremely dilapidated building，和后面的see by chance形成呼应，突出整个事情的“偶然性”。
4．第2句的“看到”可译成spot，突出“偶然性”。“气息奄奄”可译为breathing with much difficulty或struggle to catch her breath；此处的“走”是摇摆着腿，走路不稳，故译为totter。“黑老女人”译成oldblack woman比较适宜，比elderly black woman更符合整段文字的风格与含义。
5．第3句的“要是”是汉语中常用的表示假设意义的词语，译成英语的虚拟语气Should a passenger happento be甚为得体。“心情恍惚”意指头脑不甚清醒，像在做梦想象一样，故可译为in a dreamy and imaginative mood，“走到”这里其实指不小心闯进，可译成blunder into。“犯罪片”可译成crime movie。
2. 中华民族的传统文化博大精深、源远流长。早在2000多年前，就产生了以孔孟为代表的儒家学说和以老庄为代表的道家学说，以及其他许多在中国思想史上有地位的学说流派，这就是有名的“诸子百家”。从孔夫子到孙中山，中华名族传统文化有它的许多珍贵品质，许多人民性和民主性的好东西。比如，强调仁爱，强调群体，强调和而不同，强调天下为公。
The traditional Chinese culture, both extensive and profound, starts far back and runs a long, long course. More than 2,000 years ago, there emerged in China Confucianism represented by Confucius and Mencius, Taoism represented by Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi, and many other theories and doctrines that figured prominently in the history of Chinese thought, all being covered by the famous term \\
解析：1．本段简要论述中国文化的品质，总体时态用一般现在时；在追述过去事件时，用一般过去时。本篇文化语汇较多，译文要力求准确。
2．第1句以“源远流长”作为述题焦点，故可将其译为starts far back and runs a long，long course，充当句子谓语。
3．“孔孟”即孔子和孟子，英语有固定说法，为Confucius和Mencius，若不知，可用拼音代替。
4．如要获取高分，必须准确翻译中国所特有的文化现象，如：“儒家学说”译为Confucianism，“道家学说”译为Taoism，两词的第一个字母均大写。“诸子百家”可译为the masters’hundred schools或the hundredschools of thought。
5．第3句的“孙中山”译为Sun Yat-sen，是约定俗成；“人民性”按其内涵“代表人民利益的”，可译为populist。
6．第4句的“天下为公”意谓政权为一般平民所共有，故可译为the world is for all。
