　　1.計(jì)算輔助工具形式:翻譯為a form of manually operated counting aid,其中aid一詞本意為“有助之物”，用在此處表示“輔助工具”已比較貼切， 不必再將“工具”二字譯出。

　　2.理解數(shù)字:翻譯為grasp numbers,其中g(shù)rasp—詞表示“全面領(lǐng)會(huì)、理解”之意，用在此處很恰當(dāng)?shù)刈g出了原文“理解”一詞的含義。

　　3.體驗(yàn):翻譯為experimenting,此處原文強(qiáng)調(diào)的是數(shù)學(xué)家親自體驗(yàn)用算盤做簡單算術(shù)題，因此有“實(shí)驗(yàn)”的含義，故選用experimenting—詞。

　　六合院(the quadrangle )是中國的一種傳統(tǒng)合院式住宅。一個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的六合院通常由一個(gè)庭院及其六周獨(dú)立的房屋構(gòu)成。不同方位的房屋有著不同的名稱。坐北對著庭院入口處的稱為正房(main house)，東西兩邊的稱為廂房(side house)，坐南朝北的稱為倒座房(reversely-set house)。長輩或一家之主住正房，晚輩住廂房。倒座房可以用作廚房、儲(chǔ)物間、客廳或書房。六合院如今已經(jīng)成為觀光景點(diǎn)，并為世界各地的游客所熟知。

　　1.合院式住宅:譯為courtyard residence即可，其中residence意為“住宅， 民居”。

　　2.坐北對著…東西兩邊…坐南朝北:這個(gè)句子含有三個(gè)并列分句，且結(jié)構(gòu)基本一致，所以可以用三個(gè)相同結(jié)構(gòu)的連續(xù)的分句來表達(dá)。為了避免表達(dá)單調(diào)，三個(gè)分句可選擇不同的謂語動(dòng)詞，使譯文既有一致性又富有變化。

　　3.觀光景點(diǎn):可譯為a tourist attraction 或 a sightseeing spot。

　　4.世界各地的:英語中可把定語前置或者后置，所以此修飾語可譯成all over the world或worldwide.
