點評
詞匯：烏鎮(zhèn)這篇四級翻譯沒有超綱單詞或者難詞，需要大家翻譯的時候小心的是riverside（河畔）、water town（水鎮(zhèn)）、dwellings（住宅）、markets（集市）、spacious（寬敞）等等。
句式：根據(jù)逗號獨立成句的簡化翻譯技巧，可以把這篇翻譯拆分成短句來翻。當(dāng)然，語法基礎(chǔ)好的同學(xué)也可以運用非謂語的形式，例如Located on the riverside of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Wuzhen of Zhejiang Province is an ancient water town.
時態(tài)：近年來，地點通常結(jié)合歷史一起考查，所以描述性介紹城市地區(qū)特色時，用一般現(xiàn)在時，而在描述歷史經(jīng)歷的時候用一般過去時或完成時態(tài)。
