1) 地坛位于北京东城区，明清两代皇帝都到那里祭拜土地。 : y. w3 v6 \0 H( r9 ?

a) 这两句的前一句都无大问题，关键是第二句。
, ~5 W0 @: x$ {# d( t! ?1 y3 _! ~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。 : Q. C0 c# k2 X% O
6 _# N( A5 H/ L% k5 M4 o7 E2）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。 p4 E8 ~) R/ ]$ V! s/ T0 e1 D
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。

(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）。
