　　White pollution refers to plastic pollution. Unrecyclable plastic lunch boxes are all along roads. Plastic shopping bags dance in the wind. If we continue using them, what would happen? One day they might bury us in an ocean of white rubbish. Then the earth, our common homeland, would be a dustbin.

　　難點注釋

　　句1、2：唐朝(Tang Dynasty)被歷史學(xué)家認(rèn)為是中國文明最輝煌的時期。唐朝的首都在長安。

　　Tang Dynasty, whose capital is Changan, is regarded by historians as a high point in Chinese civilization.

　　句3：在與印度和中東(the Middle East)的交流中，在他們的促進下，唐朝在許多領(lǐng)域里得到了長足的發(fā)展。

　　此句結(jié)構(gòu)較為復(fù)雜，翻譯時，首先理清句子主干：唐朝的政府體系日臻完善。前半句可以處理成一個非謂語動詞做原因狀語的形式，即Served by, serve 本意為服務(wù)，也可作效力講，與邏輯主語the government system of Tang Dynasty是動賓關(guān)系，故用過去分詞形式;而其中再嵌套一個后置定語selected through來修飾Confucian literati;在的支持下譯為under the support of。

　　Served by a large class of Confucian literati selected through civil service examinations, the government system of Tang Dynasty was gradually perfected under the support of Confucian bureaucratic.
