1.第2句五行中的“金”指“金屬”，而非“黃金”，故第2句中應譯為metal，而非gold。

　　2.第3句中的第2個分句“描繪了事物的結構關系和運動形式”可處理為狀語，表伴隨狀態，用分詞短語describing the structural relationships and forms of movement of matters 來表達。

　　3.第4句中的“五行學說認為”可譯為the theory holds that...，亦可譯為according to the theory，承前句，“五行學說”可簡單轉換表達為“該學說”(the theory)。“宇宙萬物”可譯為the universe，強調整體，也可表達為 everything in the universe。

　　4.第5句有三個分句，可把“這五個要素相互作用”處理成主干，“不但影響到……，同時也使宇宙萬物……”處理為結果狀語，用分詞短語來表達，“不但……同時也”可用結構both... and...或... as well as...來表達，故整句譯為 These five elements interact with each other, affecting...as well as making...。

　　5.最后一句“五行學說成熟于漢代，之后廣泛應用于……”可用并列結構譯出：The theory got mature in theHan Dynasty and was widely employed...。翻譯賓語“中醫、建筑和武術等領域”時，先譯出中心詞fields，再用like或者such as來引出例子。
