译文:Located on the Shanghai-Nanjing railway and off Lake Taihu, Suzhou is a city of historical fame south of the Yangtze, which claims its founding in 514 B.C.
The city abounds with fine scenery and historical interest.The popular haunt of Hanshan Temple, with its charming bell, has inspired many poetic minds.On Tiger Hill, a thousand-year-old pagoda stands in majesty; and while luxuriant fruit-trees add to the natural beauty of East Dongting Hills and lake around, Tianping Hillis featured by grotesque rock formations and red maple woods.
The unique style of widely reputed Suzhou gardens is seen in Gentle Waves Pavilion, Lion Grove Garden, the Humble Administrator's Garden, Lingering Garden, the Master-of-Nets Garden and Joyous Garden.Their towers, gazeboes, terraces, winding corridors and water-side pavilions are so artistically laid out among ponds, rockeries, trees and grottoes that visitors are impressed by the depth they create, and find a different vista at every turn.All this makes a visit most erjoyable.The classical gardens of Suzhou bear the characteristics of the Chinese landscape architecture of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties and stand as a monument to the wisdom and creativity of the working people of ancient China
评析:原文中同样大量使用了四字结构,浓缩了苏州园林的精华:亭台楼阁呈严谨均衡的几何图形空间布局的静态美与径缘池转、廊引人随、移步换景的立体动感美,将一幅美轮美奂的自然山水与人文景观在读者面前展露无遗。
