1. 重庆，地处中国内陆之西南，属中亚热带季风气候，夏日阳光炽烈，故称“火炉”，城市依山而建，人谓“山城”，冬春云轻雾重，又号“雾都”。1937年，抗日战争爆发，南京失陷，国民政府西迁重庆，又把这里定为“陪都”。由于第二次世界大战中重庆在反法西斯战争中的重要地位，联合国总部那幅巨大的世界地图上，中国版图仅标出四座城市：北京、上海、南京、重庆。
Chongqing is located in the southwestern part of mainland China with a typical subtropical monsoon climate. It is hot in summer with scorching sun. Hence it got the name of \\
解析：1．本段主体内容为一般性描述，故采用一般现在时为总体时态。
2．第2句的“陪都”是由于战乱，在首都以外另设的一个首都，此处可简译为War-time Capital：“把这里定为‘陪都’”可根据历史事实，译为officially proclaimed it as its“War-time Capital”。
3．“第二次世界大战”和“反法西斯战争中”所指相同，所以翻译时可省略其中的一个，译为the Second WorldWar即可。
4．第3句的“联合国总部”英文官方说法为United Nations Headquarters。原文中“世界地图”和“中国版图”之间的逻辑关系含糊，按本意应理解为“世界地图上的中国版图部分”，为使译文简洁，可以将“中国版图”省略，后面“四座城市”增补为“四座中国城市”，即译为four Chinese cities。
2. 故宫建筑气势雄伟、豪华壮丽，是中国古建筑艺术的精华，其规格之巨和独具特色的建筑艺术享誉世界。在这里保存的大量珍贵文物、稀世绝宝，是研究明、清两代历史和历代艺术的重要物证。1925年改名为故宫博物院。它是世界上最大的博物馆之一。1961年被公布为全国重点文物保护单位。1987年为联合国教科文组织列入“世界人类文化遗产”。新中国成立后人民政府拨巨款进行保护和修缮，现已成为久负盛名的旅游景观。

Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the national government has allocated large funds for the protection and maintenance of the Imperial Palace. At present it is one of the most popular tourism sites in Beijing.
解析：1．本段主体内容为一般性描述，故采用一般现在时为总体时态。

4．第5句的“世界文化遗产”官方译法是World Cultural Heritage。

3.“那么，过一会爸爸趴在床上当马，让你骑上玩打仗，好不好?”
Well, then, what if I serve as a horse on a bed while you ride on me and play being a knight?
解析：译文在翻译“玩骑马打仗”这一概念时，并没有拘泥于形式，保持与汉语字面上的对等，而是注意到了儿童的心理，译成了play being a knight，既顺应英语的文化背景，又形象生动，便于英语读者理解。
4. 泰山的每个季节都有独特的魅力。春天，绿茵茵的山坡上，争奇斗艳的花朵到处可见。夏天，泰山的雷暴雨堪称奇观。秋天，枫树叶漫山遍野，蔚蓝色的河水穿流而行。冬天，雪盖群峰松披霜，景观素雅悲壮，别有一番情趣。喜逢艳阳日，极目远眺，重峦叠嶂，尽收眼帘。但遇天阴时，环顾四周，苍茫大地，尽入云海。泰山的日出与日落，闻名遐迩。
Mount Tai has its own unique charm at each season. In spring, all types of bright and colorful flowers in full bloom cover green mountain slopes. In summer, thunderstorms present spectacular sights which can rarely be found anywhere else. In autumn, blue rivers run across dales and vales overlaid with red maple leaves. In winter, snow-capped mountain tops and frost-cloaked pine trees stage a quiet grandeur of a particular beauty. On a clear day, the peaks rise one after another as far as the human eyes can see.
