本次翻译难度较低，处理方式在上课时均有讲解：

比如，难度较大的词汇可以用解释的方法来进行翻译：邻近城市（a city next to it），生活方式（way of life），准时（arrive on time）。

另外，一个句子中要注意不要出现两个谓语。比如，“高铁列车的运行速度还将继续提升，更多的城市将修建高铁站”。虽然中文的句子是用逗号连接的，但是在翻译的时候，可以处理成两个独立的英文句子。The speed of high-speed trains will go on to be improved. More and more cities are building their high-speed railway stations.

最后，在翻译成英文的时候，要注意被动语态的正确使用。还是刚才的那句话，中文是“运行速度还将继续提升”，是一个主动的表达形式。但是在英文里，却要用被动语态来说：The speed of high-speed trains will go on to be improved。

总之，只要课上所讲到的技巧大家都熟练掌握了，翻译部分得到12分左右应该是完全没有问题的。而要追求近乎满分的话，则对考生的中英文功底都会有较大的挑战。
