茶馬古道(Tea-horse Ancient Road)兩邊，生活著20多個少數民族。不同的地方有著各自美麗而神奇的自然風景和傳統文化，比如:大理，麗江古城，香格里拉(Shangrila),雅魯藏布江大峽谷和布達拉宮(Potala Palace)。古道的兩旁有廟宇、巖石壁畫、騷站(post house),古橋和木板路，還有少數民族舞蹈和民族服裝。時至今天，雖然這條古道的蹤跡都消失了，但它的文化和歷史價值仍然存在。

　　英語四級翻譯模擬練習：湖泊

　　湖泊奇妙無比。蒼鷺(Heron)在岸邊緩緩地邁著步子，翠鳥(Kingfisher)和杜鵑換腳著從陽光里飛入樹蔭，火雞模樣的大鳥在枯枝間忙碌，鷹在頭上盤旋。我們毋庸為時間擔憂，可以從容地欣賞周圍的一切。我乘坐的獨木舟船頭坐著個男孩，他用簡陋的彈弓(sling)發射石彈擊打飛鳥。他擺出漂亮的架勢瞄準飛鳥，卻一次又一次地偏離目標：鳥總是飛出他的射程。他把彈弓塞回進襯衣內。我移開目光。

　　湖水與河水都如熱帶雨林中的樹葉那樣乳濁：那水是面紗，是窗簾，是畫屏。

　　參考譯文：

　　This lake was amazing and wonderful.Herons plodded along the shores,Kingfishers and cuckoos clattered from sunlight to shade,great turkeylike birds fussed in dead branches,and hawks hovered above us.There was all the time in the world.And we could appreciate everything surrounding by leisurely.The boy in the bow of my canoe slapped stones at birds with a simple sling,a rubber thong and leather pad.He aimed brilliantly at moving targets,missed again and again;the birds were out of his range.He stuffed his sling back in his shirt.Then I looked away.

　　The lake and river waters were as opaque as rainforest leaves;the water was veil,blind,painted screen.
