1.长江出海口处:可译为at the mouth of the Yangtze River,注意长江一词的拼写和大小写。2.旅游胜地:可译为tourist attraction 或者 tourist resort。3.外滩和城隍庙:应译为Bund,City God Temple,这种专有名词不能随意翻译，需要平时多多记忆。4.世界文化和设计中心:可译为cosmopolitan center of culture and design，“世界性的”可译为cosmopolitan,若译为world就略显平庸。5.典范:可译为showpiece。showpiece尤指令人惊叹的样板，比example更合适，翻译时要根据同义词的细小差异判断选词。
