问题     阿房宫(Epang Palace)是秦始皇(the First Emperor of the Qin)击败六国后兴建的新宫殿。据历史记载，阿房宫是一座宏伟辉煌的建筑。根据司马迁的描述，阿房宫建于公元前212年，长693米，宽116．5米。据说在秦朝末年(the last years of the Qin Dynasty)，项羽烧毁了阿房宫。因此，我们今天所能看到的只是它的遗址。阿房宫遗址现位于陕西西安。然而，有专家认为阿房宫并未修建完成，而项羽烧毁的是另一座宫殿。
选项
答案 The Epang Palace was a new palace built by the First Emperor of the Qin after he defeated the other six countries. According to the historical record, the Epang Palace was a grand and glorious building. As described by Sima Qian, the Palace was built in 212 BC with 693 meters long and 116.5 meters wide. It is said that in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu had burnt down the Epang Palace. So, what we can see today is its ruins, which is now in Xi’an, Shanxi Province. However, some experts hold that the Epang Palace had not been totally completed, and what Xiang Yu had burnt down was another palace.
解析 1．第1句中的定语“秦始皇……兴建的”较长，故将其处理成后置定语，可用that引导的从句that the First Emperor of the Qin built…来译，但不如用过去分词短语built by the First Emperor of the Qin表达来得更为紧凑、更为地道。
2．第2句中的“据历史记载”可用according to the historical record来表达，也可以用according to the written history，此类短语翻译时一般置于句首。
3．第3句中的“阿房宫建于公元前212年，长693米，宽116．5米”如果按原文结构翻译(the Epang Palace was built…，it is…long and…wide)，译文结构则显松散，故宜将“长693米，宽116．5米”处理成状语，用介词短语with 693 meters long and 116．5 meters wide来表达。
4．第5句中的主语“我们今天所能看到的”较长，故将其处理成由what引导的主语从句，译作what we can see today。第6句“阿房宫遗址现位于陕西西安”的主语“阿房宫遗址”与前一句的宾语一致，故将其与前一句“合译”，用which引导的非限制性定语从句来表达。
