2.第2句“中國擁有的自行車數量高居世界榜首”如果逐字對譯為The number of bicycles in China has ranked thefirst in the world 稍顯生硬和不地道，不如簡單處理為China boasts the most bikes around the world來得傳神，動詞boast表“自豪地擁有”之義。

　　3.在第3句中，“隨著社會的發展”可譯為介詞短語with the development of the society;“騎自行車的人有所減少”實際說的是人數的減少，翻譯時應進行增譯，處理成the number of people... declines;定語“騎自行車的”可處理成定語從句，譯作who ride bikes，也可用分詞短語riding bikes來表達，置于中心詞“人”之后。

　　4.第4句列舉了兩組增長數據，第1組增長數據“中國自行車年增長率不超過10%”可處理成the annualincrease of... is no more than 10 percent，第2組增長數據在翻譯時為避免簡單重復，可用指水代詞that指代the annual increase，使譯文簡潔。

　　5.在倒數第2句中，定語“價值1萬多元的”實際上是指“售價1萬多元的”，故可譯作sold at a price of over10,000 yuan;“......越來越受到人們的歡迎”可譯為...are more and more popular with...，但不如用動賓結構gradually gain popularity表達來得生動、真實。

　　6.最后一句若直譯為This is the result of Chinese people's beginning to... and...則表達啰嗦，不如處理為 This is because Chinese people begin to... and...，這樣表達更簡潔到位。“健康生活方式”是一個隱含了 比較意味的表達，翻譯時應有所體現，可譯為a healthier lifestyle。
