1) 地坛位于北京东城区，明清两代皇帝都到那里祭拜土地。 ( M4 J5 s5 R5 L7 x# X9 g4 f) T, a

a) 这两句的前一句都无大问题，关键是第二句。 0 m% u$ j+ M2 A4 x' G% e
b）第一个句子翻译本无大问题，但went 是向外的动作，最好跟there搭配 （与come向内搭配here成为一对）。所以并不说明第一句就无问题，但不是什么大问题。

3）这句话很容易就被翻译成正规的汉语，就说明英语就很Chinglish(中式英语）。不妨在英语上再下些功夫，让它听起来更加English。 9 l) {$ d, P. a3 r- t( ~: u3 Q/ a

(新的英语翻译采用了不同的翻译形式：WHERE引起的非限定定语从句形式；这样就将两个简单句变成了一个复合句式。WHERE是关系副词，也是从句的关联词，所指的都是主句中的THE TEMPLE OF EARTH，文字上也在不改变愿意的基础上稍加修饰，不是那么“中国本土化”的英语了。另外第二句采用了倒装句法，形式更多样化）。
