　　词句点拨

　　1.据说如果地球上真有人间仙境，九寨沟一定是其中之一:该句前半句的“如果…”可判断出它表示与现在的事实相反，所以要用现在时的虚拟语气，即should+do的形式。其中“人间仙境”可译为wonderlands on the earth。

　　2.九寨沟不仅仅有壮观的景色，还是九个藏族村寨的居住地，还有超过220种鸟类以及许多濒临灭绝的动植物物种：其中“不仅仅有”可译为more than,是“超过，多于”的意思。“…的居住地”可以理解为“是…的故乡”，故可用be home to…表示，这是英语中常见的表达方式，如：China is home to the panda.(中国是熊猫的故乡。)

　　3.九寨沟一年四季的美景使它成为中国最著名的景点之一:“一年四季的美景”可以翻译为所有格的形式，但译为it provides spectacular scenery throughout four seasons of the year,会使译文增色不少。后半句部分因前半句出现了谓语动词provide,所以可用making it…来引导后半句，作句子的伴随状语。
