【答案解析】1．①句“在政治、军事和宗教领域都具有丰富的历史”即“有丰富的政治、军事和宗教历史”之意，故在翻译时可将名词“政治”“军事”和“宗教”转变为形容词“政治的”“军事的”和“宗教的”，译为rich in political, military, and religious history。 2．②句和③句互为因果，正是由于太原位于侵入走廊，所以才不断遭受入侵，故在翻译时可合为一句话，即Located along the invasion corridors between the nomadic regions to the north and the agricultural heartland around the Yellow River, it Was the site of repeated invasion and occupation over the centuries. 3．⑦句原文为排比句，在翻译时可保持句式一致；在英文排比句中，相同的句子成分可省略，因此参考译文中the road surface 16.41 million square meters and the average acreage of road per person 6.68 square meters省略了系动词is。 4．⑨句“城乡居民”可如参考译文译为urban and rural residents，也可译作the inhabitants of both the city and the countryside。
