1) 地坛位于北京东城区，明清两代皇帝都到那里祭拜土地。

a) 这两句的前一句都无大问题，关键是第二句。
! [3 X9 s; p( A; T! ~b）第一个句子翻译本无大问题，但went 是向外的动作，最好跟there搭配 （与come向内搭配here成为一对）。所以并不说明第一句就无问题，但不是什么大问题。
& v+ `! d; S& m' i7 C
+ D; l" k6 i6 @& Q) n& i2）第二句的问题比较大些，earth是专有名词，必须大写另带定冠词连用（the Sun, the Moon and the Earth). 第一句里的用法是正确的。 3 H8 t7 T9 K7 n \; t. ]
3）这句话很容易就被翻译成正规的汉语，就说明英语就很Chinglish(中式英语）。不妨在英语上再下些功夫，让它听起来更加English。 ; k# t! y8 F- ~: ^0 C4 g1 E) Q

(新的英语翻译采用了不同的翻译形式：WHERE引起的非限定定语从句形式；这样就将两个简单句变成了一个复合句式。WHERE是关系副词，也是从句的关联词，所指的都是主句中的THE TEMPLE OF EARTH，文字上也在不改变愿意的基础上稍加修饰，不是那么“中国本土化”的英语了。另外第二句采用了倒装句法，形式更多样化）。
