四級英語翻譯專項練習翻譯：
China is universally recognized as the country having invented the compass. As early as 2,400 years ago, Chinese people created the earliest compass in the world. Later it was further improved continuously. During the Song Dynasty, people produced the compass with iron needles and applied it in navigation. China is the first country using the compass on seagoing ships. The compass provided aid for Zheng He's voyages to the Western Ocean in the Ming Dynasty. Later the compass spread into Europe, promoting the development of the European marine industey and guaranteeing technical support for Columbus' navigation.
四級英語翻譯專項練習講解：
1.第1句中的“發明指南針的”可處理成后置定語，用現在分詞短語having invented the compass來表達，也可用定語從句which has invented...來表達。
2.翻譯第3句中的“后來經過不斷改進”時，宜加上主語“指南針”，而由于前一句的靠后部分已出現過 compass，故這里可用it來作主語。“到宋朝人們制造出鐵針指南針并應用于航海”可用并列結構為 people produced... and applied it in...。“鐵針指南針”可表達為 compass with iron needles。
3.第4句中的“在海船上使用指南針的”較長，宜將其處理成后置定語，用現在分詞短語using the compass來表達，其中“在海船上”為狀語，譯作on sea-going ships，按照英語表達習慣，置于句末。
4.最后一句中有3個動作，“指南針傳人……，推動了……，……提供了……”，仔細分析可發現，“推動了”和 “提供了”是結果，故將“指南針傳人……”作句子主干，“推動了……，提供了……”用現在分詞短語來表達， 作結果狀語，譯作 the compass spread into Eurpe, promoting... and guaranteeing...。
