1. 故宫(Imperial Palace)又名紫禁城，为明清共二十四位皇帝统治中国近500年的皇宫。它位于北京市中心，在天安门广场的北侧，形状为长方形。南北长约960米，东西宽约750米，占地72公顷，总建筑面积达15万平方米。故宫是世界上现存规模最大、最完整的古代木构宫殿。它分为外朝和内廷两部分，外朝是皇帝上朝处理国家大事的地方，内廷是皇帝和皇室的居住地。1987年，故宫被联合国教科文组织列入世界文化遗产。
The Imperial Palace, also called the Forbidden City, was the palace where the 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties ruled China for roughly 500 years. The Imperial Palace is located in the center of Beijing, on the northern side of Tian’anmen Square, rectangular in shape, about 960 meters from north to south and 750 meters wide from east to west, with an area of 72 hectares and a total floor space of 150 000 square meters. It’s the world’s largest and most integral palace made of wood in existence. The Imperial Palace is divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court. The outer court was the place where the emperors gave audience and handled state affairs, while the inner court was the living quarters for the emperors and their families. In 1987, the Imperial Palace was listed by the UNESCO as one of the World Cultural Heritage sites.

4. 吉利数字(auspicious number)在中国文化一直起着重要的作用。不少人认为数字6、8、9吉利，因为它们跟一些具有积极含义的汉字发音相同或相近。如8与“发”的发音相似，象征着繁荣和财富；9与“久”发音一样，意为“长长久久”。因此，很多人在选择手机号码和车牌号码(license plate number)时会不惜花钱去选取这些数字。相反，没有人会选4，因为4与“死”发音一致，是不吉利的数字(inauspicious number)。
Auspicious numbers have long played an important part in Chinese culture. Many people consider numbers six, eight and nine as the auspicious ones because they have the same or similar sounds to the Chinese characters of positive meanings. For example, the pronunciation of the number \\
解析：1．第2句中的“认为数字6、8、9吉利”可采用结构consider sth．+a.或consider sth．as sth．来表达。定语“具有积极含义的”较长，故将其处理成后置定语，用介词短语of positive meanings来表达。
2．第3句中的“如8与‘发’的发音相似”英译时，按照英语表达习惯，要在“8”前面补上表其性质的词，故增译number。“象征着繁荣和财富”是“发”的含义，故可将其处理为定语修饰“发”，因此用现在分词短语sym—bolizing prosperity and wealth作后置定语来表达，也可用定语从句which symbolizes prosperity andwealth表达。
3．第4句中的“很多人在选择手机号码……时”，根据英语表达习惯，宜在“手机号码”前增译一个物主代词their，译为their phone numbers。“不惜花钱”意即“舍得花一大笔钱”，可用pay out表达。“去选取这些数字”，即让这些数字包括于手机号码和车牌号码中，故“不惜花钱去选取这些数字”译为pay out for thesenumbers to be included in…。
4．最后一句“因为4与‘死’发音一致，是不吉利的数字”可用并列结构译出，表达为it bears the same pro-nunciation．．．and is considered to be…。“是不吉利的数字”不应简单地译为is inauspicious number，而应译为is considered to be inauspicious number，这样才能表达出“人为赋予数字含义”的意思。
5. 计划生育(family planning)是中国的基本国策之一。它于1978年开始实施，30多年来，已取得了显著的效果。它不仅有效地控制了人口的过快增长，还提升了人口素质。此外，计划生育政策还提高了人们的生活水平、促进了社会的持续发展。然而，随着社会进一步发展，新问题不断出现，计划生育工作面临着许多新的挑战，所以中国政府对其进行了修改完善。
Family planning is one of the basic national policies of China. Implemented in 1978, the family planning policy has produced remarkable effects over the past 30-odd years. Excessive population growth was effectively controlled, with the quality of people being improved. Furthermore, the family planning policy has helped in promoting living standards as well as sustainable socia
