Neither of them has good translation from the Chinese:
0 R% H, J0 h' t3 v; N# v/ k
3 c) }) Z# N4 s+ k1、The Temple of Earth is located in Dongcheng district Beijing. Emperors went here to worship The Earth or Soil in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

1) 地坛位于北京东城区，明清两代皇帝都到那里祭拜土地。
7 v1 }1 l9 b9 L
9 n* k( X, U2 ~8 aa) 这两句的前一句都无大问题，关键是第二句。
$ W; O3 G2 d3 U0 j- |4 v' Qb）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。 0 |1 d+ A# X; L" H1 m' i
2 q9 w q# R% K" p
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。 / ^: f! p) T6 Y# S- h" {6 R
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）。
