逐句分析

①句将“始于618年，终于907年”处理为非限制性定语从句，译作“which began in 618 and ended in 907”。“最灿烂的时期”译作“the most splendid period”，也可译作“the most glorious period”。

②句为由两个分句构成的并列句，译时中间可以用and连接。将“经过近三百年的发展”处理为介词短语。第一个分句中的“唐代中国”译作“the Tang Dynasty China”，“强国”译作“power”；第二个分句中“首都长安”里的“长安”是“首都”的同位语，故二者可连译。为了避免重复，故将第二个分句中的“世界上”译作“across the world”。“当时”译作“at that time或at that period”；“都市”译作“metropolis”。

③句为无主句，所以增译了形容词性物主代词its，突出其主语。汉语中的“这一时期”在英文中习惯翻译成“during that period”。“经济发达、商业繁荣、社会秩序稳定”为并列短语，从第二个开始到倒数第二个可以省译共享的动词。“对外开放”译作“be open to the outside world”。

④句将“随着城市化和财富的增加”处理为伴随状语，译作“with urbanization and the increase in wealth”。“繁荣起来”译作“flourished”，“也”译作“as well或also”。

⑤句将“以……而著称”译作“be known for”，也可译作“be famous/renowned for...”。

⑥句中“诗歌”为不可数名词，是诗的集合名称，故译作“poetry”；将“感动”译作“move”，也可译作“touch”。

⑦句中的“诗歌”为可数名词，有复数形式，指的是诗集中具体的诗，故译作“poem”。如“一首诗”可译作“a poem或a piece of poetry”。将“广为……阅读背诵”译作“be widely read and recited by”，注意此句使用了被动语态。
