四合院
四合院(the quadrangle )是中國的一種傳統合院式住宅。一個標準的四合院通常由一個庭院及其四周獨立的房屋構成。不同方位的房屋有著不同的名稱。坐北對著庭院入口處的稱為正房(main house)，東西兩邊的稱為廂房(side house)，坐南朝北的稱為倒座房(reversely-set house)。長輩或一家之主住正房，晚輩住廂房。倒座房可以用作廚房、儲物間、客廳或書房。四合院如今已經成為觀光景點，併為世界各地的遊客所熟知。
譯文：
The quadrangle is a traditional courtyard residence in China. A standard quadrangle usually consists of a courtyard with independent houses along its four sides. Houses in different directions have their own names. The house on the north facing the courtyard’s entrance is called the main house; the house which lies on the east or west is called the side house; and the one stands on the south is called reversely-set house. The older generation or the head of the household lives in the main house, while the younger generation lives in the side houses. The reversely-set house can be used as a kitchen, a storeroom, a sitting-room or a study. The quadrangle has now become a tourist attraction and is well-known to tourists from all over the world.
解釋：
1.合院式住宅:譯為courtyard residence即可，其中residence意為“住宅， 民居”。
2.坐北對著…東西兩邊…坐南朝北:這個句子含有三個並列分句，且結構基本一致，所以可以用三個相同結構的連續的'分句來表達。為了避免表達單調，三個分句可選擇不同的謂語動詞，使譯文既有一致性又富有變化。
3.觀光景點:可譯為a tourist attraction 或a sightseeing spot。
4.世界各地的:英語中可把定語前置或者後置，所以此修飾語可譯成all over the world或worldwide.
中國人買房
中國自古就有“修身、齊家、治國、平天下”的古訓(maxim)。齊家指的便是成家立業，成家不能沒有自己的一套房子。因此，房子成為中國人有家、有歸屬感的重要標誌，並深人人心。房子在人們觀念中的重要地位，使得房子不僅僅是居住環境的體現，更是個人身份的體現。根深蒂固的傳統觀念和強烈的的家的歸屬感，吸引著都市生活中這樣一群忠實而又執著的“買房族”。也可以說，中國的房價之所以一路飆升與中國人的購房觀念是密不可分的。
翻譯提示
1.修身、齊家、治國、平天下:“修身”即“修身養性”，"齊家”即“管理好家族”，“治國”即“治理好邦國”，“平天下”即“平定天下”。簡單地說，這句古訓意為“修養身心，而後才能治理好家族、邦國和天下”，故譯為Cultivate the mind and then regulate the family, state and world,其中的“國”並不是現代意義上的國家，而是指“諸侯國”、“邦國”，故譯為state。
2.成家立業:即“結婚和創立亊業”，譯為get married and start one's career。
3.歸屬感:可譯為a sense of belonging。
4.根深蒂固的傳統觀念:可譯為the deeply rooted traditional concept。
5.忠實而又執著的:可譯為loyal and persistent。
6.一路飆升的價格:可譯為soaring price。soaring意為“猛增的”。
7.密不可分:可以理解為“和…有密切聯絡”，即be closely related to。
