　　科学和自然界中一切存在的事物和发生的现象的特点和过程有关。科学包括整个自然界，它精辟地阐述了人类关于各种自然现象是如何彼此联系并如何构成我们所说的宇宙的种种概念的。

　　科学有许多特性，要了解科学是什么，就得详细地考察一下这些性能和特点。有一些作者断言说科学实际上只是一种方法—科学的方法。这样的定义是过于简单化了。但是科学方法在决定科学知识的性质方面肯定起着重要的作用。

　　　答案

　　Science is related to all the existing things and the characteristics and process of the phenomena happening in nature.Science contains the whole nature,which develpos various penetrating views about human being's conceptions that how various natural phenomena are related together and how they constitute our so-called universe.

　　Science has many characteristics.We have to inspect those functions and characteristics in detail if we want to know what the science is.Some authors assert that science in fact is a kind of method-scientific method.This definition is over simplified.But obviously the scientific method plays an important role in deciding the nature of the scientific knowledge.

　　分析:

　　科学包括整个自然界，它精辟地阐述了人类关于各种自然现象是如何彼此联系并如何构成我们所说的宇宙的种种概念的。

　　翻译这个句子时可以处理为逻辑结构清楚的长句，主句就是“科学阐述了种种概念”，然后用which引导一个从句来引出“人类关于各种自然现象是如何彼此联系并如何构成我们所说的宇宙的”这样解释“概念”的短语。

　　分析

　　“文人墨客”，泛指“文人”，可以理解为“作家”。英文有“men of letters”与之对应。“题咏”指为歌咏或纪念某一景物，书画或某一事件而题写的诗词。故译为Besides many poems and inscriptions by men of letters throguh the dynasties。
