1.第2句中的两个分句“它首先流行于民间”及“内容充满了生活气息”隐含因果关系,翻译时可将这层关系译出,把第2个分句处理为as或for引导的原因状语从句。该句中的“生活气息”直译为flavor of life,该短语在文中实际上是指元曲讲述的都是日常生活,故该句也可意译为its content filled with daily/social life.
2.翻译第3句“元曲有固定的格式,但相比于唐诗宋词,有较大的灵活性”时,为了论述连贯,

2.第2句中,将“总面积达44万平方米”处理为主干it covers a total area of….“整个广场东西

5.最后一句后半句的“每天都有大量的中外游客到此参观旅游”的逻辑主语与前半句中的主语“天安门广场”不一致,翻译时可稍作处理,将其意思转换为“每天吸引大量的中外游客到此……”,译为attracting a large amount of tourists…,表伴随状态。或可用介词短语with a lar
