Neither of them has good translation from the Chinese: * F0 {' D9 V4 D2 A

1) 地坛位于北京东城区，明清两代皇帝都到那里祭拜土地。
* H- ]+ U0 w) X1 [, q & S+ r; E9 i c7 v
a) 这两句的前一句都无大问题，关键是第二句。 4 ~/ G" a) j3 T2 l: j6 `8 {+ n
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。 4 s+ D: u G+ `
* o/ W* c2 ^# o4 V# y
2）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。
" I0 ]0 q+ p& t( k& s& O3）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。

(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）。
