　　1．第一句實際包含兩層含義，故可以分為兩句來翻譯。
　　2．第二句中的“地大物博”是一個成語，可以翻譯為has a vast territory。該句較長。可以根據(jù)意思分開來翻譯。
　　3．第三句可先譯出句子主干China is possessed of…，用介詞短語(with引導)修飾a history of over five thousand years，繼而用such as列舉innumerable historical relies的具體內容，再以定語從句作結，結構上顯得有起伏。
　　4．“驚嘆”這里表示的是“贏得贊賞”，故譯為win people’s admiration。
