【答案解析】 1.“近几年开始兴起的”可处理为现在分词短语放在句首,作伴随状语,即Arising in recent years。
2.第2句很长且没有明显的主语,可将“你”作句子的主语。“就是将……通过……发到微博上”可采用send sth. to...via...的结构。“所见、所闻、所想”通常译为以what引导的名词性从句,即what you see,hear and think。由于整句过长,可将“随时随地和朋友分享……”处理为伴随状语(sharing what you see...),使得句子结构更加清晰。
3.“……知名人士和组织在这里进行交流”中的“这里”指代Twitter,可译为which引导的非限制性定语从句,介词on提前。
